| [00:30] <Kano> hi, did you notice the nv 71.86.04 and 96.43.05 drivers? | |
| [00:31] <Kano> also i man not sure if completely disabling alsa in the kernel is a good a idea | |
| [00:31] <Kano> there are several modules which have alsa build-deps | |
| [00:32] <Kano> CONFIG_VIDEO_SAA7134_ALSA=m | |
| [00:32] <Kano> CONFIG_VIDEO_CX88_ALSA=m | |
| [00:33] <Kano> i dont think you get those externally | |
| [00:51] <Kano> also how about adding em8300 cvs to lum... | |
| [01:00] <Kano> hda-intel is really better in new alsa but you miss modules | |
| [01:09] <Kano> btw. compiled 386 kernel,as this does not use smp you can use hostap_pci, that module is not smp save | |
| [01:35] <crimsun> Kano: lum already has newer alsa. | |
| [01:36] <Kano> i know, i compiled it | |
| [01:36] <Kano> but you miss modules! | |
| [01:36] <Kano> these have depends on alsa in the kernel | |
| [01:36] <Kano> which are not in external alsa | |

| [09:39] <Kano> rtg: why do you completely disable alsa? then modules with alsa depend does not build! | |
| [10:45] <mvo> how should we handle dapper->hardy upgrades? I assume -686 should transitioned to -generic. what would be people with -386? should we move them to -generic, leave them with -386? there is some code in the release-ugrader already that will move multi-core people from 386 to generic. | |
| [11:38] <stgraber> As there are some cases where -386 is needed (very old computers), I don't think moving everyone to -generic is a good idea as it may break some system. | |
| [11:38] <stgraber> You could also detect the CPU (as you probably do for multi-core CPU) and based on that move them to -generic or keep them on -i386 | |
| [11:39] <Kano> just uname -m | |
| [11:40] <Kano> if itis not i586 or i686 then keep it | |
| [11:41] <Kano> i guess it is very rarely needed. i just tested the kernel, and did not really like it, had shutdown problems. ok the system was a e6600 ;) | |
| [13:12] <mvo> stgraber: thanks, the current strategy is to not change it unless its a multicore cpu, but I was wondering if that is wise given that a lot of people will have -386 on their dapper install. but if the only disadvantage is that they won't have multicore, then that sounds not too bad | |
| [13:39] <mvo> I like the idea of kano | |
| === \sh_away is now known as \sh | |
| [16:59] <mvo_> with the US awake now, maybe I can ask my earlier question again: how should we handle dapper->hardy upgrades? I assume -686 should transitioned to -generic. what would be people with -386? should we move them to -generic, leave them with -386? there is some code in the release-ugrader already that will move multi-core people from 386 to generic. I like the suggestion of simply checking uname -m | |
| [16:59] <mvo_> but I wonder what machine will not work with -generic and what the installer does in this case | |
| [16:59] <mvo_> (or how it detect which ones need -386) | |
| === reynaldo_ is now known as reynaldo | |
| [17:19] <rtg> mvo_: -generic requires at least a 586 class CPU. | |
| [17:41] <mvo_> rtg: so uname -m and checking for i586 is safe? everything iwth i586 or i686 can get -generic then and the rest remains untouched | |
| [17:42] <rtg> mvo_: that is my belief. | |
| [17:42] <mvo_> rtg: great, thanks | |

| [19:17] <rtg> zul: comment it out | |
| [19:17] <zul> ok | |

| [23:44] <bdmurray> BenC: still around? | |
| [23:46] <BenC> bdmurray: in some vague way, yeah :) | |
| [23:48] <bdmurray> I've suspended and resumed using the Live CD and discovered some SQUASHFS errors in dmesg right after some "Buffer I/O error on device sr0". Is that worth reporting? | |
| [23:48] <Mithrandir> the live CD shouldn't allow suspend. | |
| [23:49] <bdmurray> I thought it should allow suspend and not hibernate. | |
| [23:51] <Mithrandir> your CD reader might well be connected over USB, in which case you'll go boom | |
| [23:53] <bdmurray> hmm, that's true. having it seems like a good way to get people to test suspend w/o having to install the development release though | |
