| luna_ | Hello, is there any Kernel team meeting today? | 16:13 |
|---|---|---|
| luna_ | guessing not? | 17:06 |
| mhcerri | hi, luna_. do you have any specific topic to discuss? | 17:09 |
| luna_ | mhcerri: nope not currently, was just wondering if its still in my calendar on Tuesdays | 17:09 |
| luna_ | or well i wonder if you have any newer 5.9 kernels then the one from 20th October | 17:10 |
| luna_ | not brave enough to install the 5.10 RCs :p | 17:10 |
| mhcerri | luna_, I don't think we have these meetings anymore | 17:10 |
| mhcerri | sforshee, ^ any idea? | 17:11 |
| luna_ | alright the Ubuntu Fridge calendar is really outdated someone should look at that at some point | 17:12 |
| tjaalton | the unstable kernel moved from 5.9 to 5.10 | 17:19 |
| tjaalton | so there are no 5.9.x I think | 17:20 |
| tjaalton | except the mainline builds | 17:20 |
| luna_ | tjaalton: ah any idea where i can find the latest mainline for 5.9 ? | 17:23 |
| tjaalton | same place as always https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ | 17:23 |
| luna_ | tjaalton: ah thanks :) | 17:24 |
| luna_ | that worked thanks tjaalton and mhcerri :) | 17:33 |
| linuxr | Hi all, so I get this notebook which runs well with latest ubuntu, but just the "Alt Gr" key does not appear to function at all .. any help? | 20:22 |
| sarnold | test the key with xev and find out if it's emitting events; if it is, hopefully someone in #ubuntu knows how to fiddle with the configs to get it working | 20:24 |
| linuxr | sarnold, left and right alt keys do not seem to emit events with xev...what does that mean? | 20:30 |
| sarnold | linuxr: do you need to hold down an Fn key or something similar to make them work? sometimes laptop keyboards do silly things like that | 20:30 |
| linuxr | sarnold, no that doesnt help either..I've never seen anything like that | 20:32 |
| sarnold | linuxr: dang | 20:33 |
| linuxr | sarnold, interestingly, pressing the "fn" key alone does not emit an event, but "fn + cursor up" increases the volume as expecte | 20:34 |
| sarnold | that fn key is probably handled by the firmware or similar | 20:34 |
| linuxr | okay, but the alt keys? why don't these work? | 20:35 |
| linuxr | is there some other way to test them, without X maybe? | 20:35 |
| sarnold | linuxr: try showkey -- I haven't used it in 20 years, I can't recall if you need to quit X to use it, or if it works if you just pop to a virtual console | 20:39 |
| linuxr | showkey - "Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console" | 20:44 |
| sarnold | try stopping x then | 20:44 |
| linuxr | okay..brb | 20:46 |
| linuxr | damn, how do I quit from X without ctrl-alt-fX? | 20:49 |
| sarnold | I think that's a systemctl isolate command these days | 21:00 |
