| [00:30] <jjohansen> lamont: re: fs caps? Did you make any progress with that? | |
| [02:15] <lamont> jjohansen: remind me? | |
| [02:42] <jjohansen> lamont: you were asking how much a pain enabling file caps would be | |
| [02:43] <jjohansen> lamont: I asked if a few days before feature freeze was the time to be wondering about it | |
| [02:44] <lamont> oh. that. | |
| [02:44] <jjohansen> so I suppose, that means no | |
| [02:44] <lamont> I don't remember - it was someone else backchanneling through me complaining that the machine we co-manage at a co-lo facility needs a custom kernel | |
| [02:45] <jjohansen> hrmm, they could use AA set capability rules to achieve much the same thing | |
| [02:46] <lamont> except that the package that they're using doesn't | |
| [02:46] <lamont> and rebuilding the kernel is easier | |
| [02:46] <jjohansen> heh, maybe | |

| [10:31] <tkamppeter> Anyone can give me some help to submit a patch correctly to the vger.kernel.org mailing list? | |
| [10:36] <smb> tkamppeter, One thing would be to run your patch through scripts/checkpatch.pl If that does not complain, this is a good sign | |
| [10:37] <amitk> tkamppeter: also, Documentation/SubmittingPatches in the kernel tree has pointers to making the perfect patch | |
| [10:39] <smb> tkamppeter, There is also scripts/get_maintainer.pl which would help you to find out who to cc | |
| [11:41] <smoser> anyone here a [email protected] moderator ? | |
| [11:41] <smoser> i sent some non-spam there that needs to be approved. (ok, well *I* think its not spam) | |
| [11:44] <tkamppeter> smb, amitk, thx. | |
| [11:44] <amitk> smoser: done | |
| [11:44] <smoser> thanks | |
| [12:17] <gnomefreak> is it known that the newest kernel wont shut PC off ubuntu shuts down but PC stys on and i have to push and hold to shut it down? | |
| [12:21] * gnomefreak goes to file bug | |
| === bjf-afk is now known as bjf | |
| [15:48] * amitk confirms the behaviour that gnomefreak was reporting about the system now powering off with -7 | |
| [15:49] <rtg_> amitk, yeah, that was the other side effect of -7. | |
| [15:49] <rtg_> of the KSM patch set, rather | |
| [15:49] <amitk> s/now/not | |
| [15:50] * gnomefreak cant recall bug # but there is one filed on it | |
| [15:51] <amitk> gnomefreak: please check back with -8 that rtg just uploaded (might be available tomorrow) | |
| [15:52] <gnomefreak> amitk: ok thanks is there a deb in LP? | |
| [15:53] <rtg_> gnomefreak, its just been uploaded, so will take awhile | |
| [15:53] <gnomefreak> rtg_: ok thanks again | |
| [16:42] <Laibsch> Hi | |
| [16:43] <Laibsch> Where do I get the source for the mainline kernels? | |
| [16:44] <Laibsch> I doubt that the 2.2KB file http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/2009-08-27/linux-source-2.6.31_2.6.31-999.200908271000_all.deb has much ;-) | |
| [16:46] <Keybuk> Laibsch: mainline kernels are inherently the mainline kernels | |
| [16:46] <Keybuk> ie. kernel.org git | |
| [16:47] <Laibsch> well, but there's more to it | |
| [16:47] <Keybuk> no, there isn't | |
| [16:47] <Laibsch> I already compiled mainline straight from git | |
| [16:47] <Laibsch> But it was missing the initrd part | |
| [16:47] <Keybuk> what initrd part? | |
| [16:48] <Laibsch> My kernel did not create an initrd | |
| [16:48] <Keybuk> how did you make your kernel? | |
| [16:48] <Laibsch> make-kpkg | |
| [16:48] <Keybuk> make-kpkg --initrd? :-) | |
| [16:49] <Keybuk> strictly speaking though, Ubuntu kernel builds don't use make-kpkg | |
| [16:49] <Laibsch> alright, I'll retry with --initrd | |
| [16:49] <Laibsch> sorry, if I sound stupid ;-) | |
| [16:50] <Laibsch> I only compile kernels out of necessity | |
| [16:50] <Laibsch> not for fun | |
| [16:50] <Keybuk> really? I do it for fun :p | |
| [16:50] <Keybuk> plus it keeps the house warm, and saves on gas | |
| [17:10] <AnAnt> Hello, could someone confirm this bug please: LP 418477 ? | |

| [17:13] <rtg_> AnAnt, -7 is killing kittens. -8.28 is in the pipeline. | |
| [17:14] <AnAnt> rtg_: ah, thanks | |
| [17:14] <AnAnt> killing kittens | |
| [17:14] <AnAnt> is that somehow of saying "evil" ? | |
| [17:15] <rtg_> AnAnt, any sane person would consider dead kittens to be evil, right? | |
| [17:15] <AnAnt> rtg_: dead kittens are not evil | |
| [17:15] <AnAnt> the one who kills them is ! | |
| [17:15] <rtg_> AnAnt, ah, a fine semantic difference :) | |
| [17:15] <AnAnt> :) | |
| [17:16] <AnAnt> ok, I need to ask a question, is this bug: LP 414795 a kernel or a pulseaudio bug ? | |
| [17:19] <AnAnt> https://launchpad.net/bugs/414795 | |
| [17:19] <ubot3`> Malone bug 414795 in pulseaudio "PC beep no longer works in Karmic alpha4" [Undecided,New] | |
| [18:29] <rtg_> bjf, git://kernel.ubuntu.com/rtg/ubuntu-karmic fsl-imx51 for boot testing. You do have HW, right? | |
| [18:42] <rtg_> ogasawara, how do I change bug duplication? I want to use bug #418781 as the master. bug #417750 is already a duplicate of 418685 and I cannot figure out how to redirect it. | |

| [18:43] <andresmujica> rtg_: /usr/share/doc/python-launchpad-bugs/examples/move_duplicates.py | |
| [18:44] <rtg_> andresmujica, don't need no steenking python | |
| [18:44] <ogasawara> rtg_: yah unfortunately, if a bug already has duplicates, you have to move those to the new master bug first (ie lp won't auto move them for you) | |
| [18:45] <andresmujica> manually? you must move first the dupe to the new master bug and then the old master bug move it as dupe from the new one | |
| [18:45] <ogasawara> rtg_: I'll clean it up | |
| [18:45] <rtg_> ogasawara, actually, that was exactly what I was trying to do | |
| [18:46] <ogasawara> rtg_: hrm that's odd, not sure why it wouldn't have worked them. I'll give it a try. | |
| [18:46] <rtg_> ogasawara, it would help if I knew what button to push :) | |
| [18:46] <bryce> lp can be fussy sometimes | |
| [18:47] <ogasawara> rtg_: I just click on the Duplicate of bug # link under the bug title | |
| [18:47] <rtg_> bryce, you are a master of understatement. | |
| [18:48] <rtg_> ogasawara, which just takes me to the master (the one I don't want to use) | |
| [18:49] <ogasawara> rtg_: hrm, it should pop up a little dialog box for you to enter the new bug#. at least that's what it's doing here for me. | |
| [18:49] <ogasawara> rtg_: are you on edge? | |
| [18:49] <rtg_> ogasawara, well, we all know you _are_ special. | |
| [18:50] <ogasawara> hehe | |
| [18:50] <rtg_> yep, I'm always on edgwe. | |
| [18:50] <rtg_> edge* | |
| [18:50] <ogasawara> rtg_: I've marked em all as dups of 418781 | |
| [18:50] <rtg_> ogasawara, thanks, you're a pal | |
| [18:51] <smb> rtg_, If you are not on edge there might be a little pen icon (yellow) beside it | |
| [18:51] <rtg_> smb, ah! good eye. | |
| [18:52] <smb> Me? Nah. :) | |
| [18:52] <rtg_> I must not be programmed to notice that damned small icon | |
| [18:52] <ogasawara> rtg_: heh, or realize is supposed to resemble a pen | |
| [18:52] <smb> I just have to use them often | |
| [18:52] <rtg_> ok, next time I can do this for myself. | |
| [19:43] <superm1> mjg59, what's up with http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/38439/ ? Is that in good order right now, or are you going to be doing more work on it? | |
| [22:51] <mjg59> superm1: Upstream wants the filtering at the 8042 level, not the generic input level | |
| [22:53] <superm1> mjg59, oh i see. were you planning on reworking that then soon? | |
| [22:58] <mjg59> Yeah, should do this week. I've been somewhat tied up organising my move. | |
| [23:00] <superm1> mjg59, okay cool. | |
