[08:17] <Wellark> hi! is the new hso-driver included in the intrepid kernels? |
|
[08:17] <Wellark> http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/919938?page=last |
|
[09:01] <cking> Wellark: the hso-driver is not in the current intrepid kernel source |
|
[09:02] <Wellark> cking: is it going to be included? |
|
[09:03] <Wellark> I'm working on network-manager and there are devices that need that driver |
|
[09:04] <amitk_> Wellark: we are still contemplating if Ubuntu will carry 2.6.27 for intrepid. If that happens, hso is already there. |
|
[09:04] <amitk_> currently we are at 2.6.26, but we have a 2.6.27-rc tree called ubuntu-next available for testing if you need. |
|
[09:04] <Wellark> but if you decide to stick with .26 will the hso-driver be included? |
|
[09:05] <Wellark> or is it too early to tell? |
|
[09:05] <amitk_> Wellark: it could be backported if it is a single driver. Wait another week to check if we make the move (probably will). Otherwise ping us again. |
|
[09:08] <Wellark> ok. great! |
|
[09:23] <tjaalton> does ubuntu-next work with DKMS/nvidia? |
|
[09:29] <tjaalton> apparently it should |
|
[09:41] <tjaalton> wow, my laptop stays suspended with .27-rc3 |
|
[09:41] <tjaalton> unlike with .26 where it resumes right away |
|
[09:52] <amitk_> tjaalton: looks like we have another supported for 2.6.27 :) |
|
[09:53] <amitk_> *supporter |
|
[09:56] <Wellark> what's the main concern about .27? not enough testing? |
|
[10:03] <amitk_> Wellark: that fact that .27 will probably get released _very_ close to our freeze |
|
[10:05] <Wellark> just send Linus an email.. :P |
|
[10:16] <amitk_> :D |
|
[11:37] <tjaalton> amitk: indeed :) |
|
[13:15] <TommyBJ> Will the kernel for intrepid be .27 or .26 ? |
|
[13:15] <_ruben> not decided yet |
|
[13:17] <TommyBJ> Aha. When is this decision due? |
|
[13:19] <_ruben> within a week i think |
|
[13:19] <TommyBJ> Ok. Thanks :) |
|
[13:24] <Wellark> just add it to topic already :) |
|
[13:35] <TommyBJ> :> |
|
[13:48] <Edulix> hello |
|
[13:48] <Edulix> anyone knows something if similar to this: http://www.bitwizard.nl/remote_devices/ is being worked on nowadays? :P |
|
[13:49] <Edulix> for webcams specifically |
|
[13:50] <Edulix> uhm I should probably better ask in ##kernel |
|
[14:52] <BenC> So far I have not seen one Nay on 2.6.27 for intrepid |
|
=== BenC changed the topic of #ubuntu-kernel to: Ubuntu kernel development discussion ONLY | Kernel Wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam | Latest kernel upload: 2.6.26-5.14 (based on 2.6.26 final) | Latest news: Possibly moving to 2.6.27 kernel for Intrepid/8.10. Decision within a week. | Next meeting: Aug 19, 16:00 UTC | Kernel Team machine: http://kernel.ubuntu.com |
|
[14:57] <zul> rtg: those xen patches are targeted for 2.6.27 assuming that it goes into intrepid |
|
[14:57] <zul> BenC: only one? |
|
[14:57] <BenC> zul: I've seen none |
|
[14:58] <rtg> BenC: well, you know I'm in favor 'cause I'm thinking about how to get 2.6.27 into Hardy. |
|
[14:59] <laga> BenC: did you have a change to review aufs? |
|
[14:59] <smb_tp> While I am not so sure about 2.6.27 in Hardy, I think it a good ideao for Intrepid |
|
[14:59] <BenC> laga: Yeah, going to sync it |
|
[14:59] <laga> BenC: using my patch or from upstream? |
|
[15:00] <zul> rtg: it would make life so much easier for somethings |
|
[15:00] <BenC> laga: yours |
|
[15:00] <laga> yay |
|
[15:00] <BenC> I guess now's a good time to install 2.6.27 on my laptop |
|
[15:01] <rtg> BenC: I'm test building -rc4. Shall I push the rebase if it compiles? |
|
[15:03] <BenC> rtg: I've already rebased it locally and pushed |
|
[15:03] <rtg> BenC: I must have just missed it. |
|
[15:03] <BenC> Forgot to push the -rc4 tag, so coming |
|
[15:07] <BenC> rtg, smb_tp, cking, amitk: I think I'm going to assume that 2.6.27 will be going into intrepid and start preparing a package for upload |
|
[15:08] <rtg> BenC: works for me. |
|
[15:08] <cking> BenC: ditto |
|
[15:08] <smb_tp> BenC, good for me too |
|
[15:11] <poningru> hey quick question, how can I have a particular upstream driver updated? |
|
[15:11] <poningru> namely madwifi |
|
[15:11] <poningru> err as in updated in linux-restricted-modules |
|
[15:11] <BenC> crazy...BSD alone is not GPL compatible to the kernel |
|
[15:12] <amitk> BenC: \0/ |
|
[15:12] <poningru> the latest madwifi supports a class of netbooks that a lot of people would like to convert to ubuntu |
|
[15:12] <BenC> poningru: madwifi is the latest upstream release |
|
[15:12] <poningru> in hardy? |
|
[15:12] <BenC> yes |
|
[15:12] <BenC> we aren't syncing to svn repo |
|
[15:12] <amitk> poningru: you probably need something from the madwifi trunk, not the release |
|
[15:12] <poningru> yeah ofcourse |
|
[15:13] <poningru> amitk, no iirc the latest from stable is the working one |
|
[15:13] <poningru> its aspire one btw |
|
[15:13] <poningru> checking |
|
[15:15] <BenC> poningru: I'd test 2.6.27 and see if the ath5k/ath9k driver works for you |
|
[15:15] <BenC> we are likely ditching madwifi to support those drivers instead |
|
[15:15] <poningru> SWEET |
|
[15:15] <poningru> cause I am pretty sure ath9k works |
|
[15:15] <rtg> poningru: you must have an AR2425. |
|
[15:16] <poningru> checking |
|
[15:16] <poningru> damn it you are right madwifi stable is not .10.5.6 |
|
[15:16] <poningru> thats the one that works |
|
[15:17] <poningru> its called the ar5006EG |
|
[15:17] <BenC> that would be ath5k, wouldn't it? |
|
[15:18] <rtg> BenC: it might be 9k. Luis said that it supported one of the 5k chipsets. |
|
[15:18] <rtg> ar5006EG is an AR2425. |
|
[15:18] <rtg> they have some confusing model numbers |
|
[15:18] <poningru> indeed |
|
[15:19] <rtg> I should be getting one today or Monday, so I'll know soon for sure. |
|
[15:19] <poningru> aspire one? |
|
[15:19] <poningru> or the wifi card? |
|
[15:19] <rtg> no, an AR2425 |
|
[15:19] <rtg> wifi card |
|
[15:22] <poningru> sigh I guess I will stick to my dkms solution for now |
|
[15:22] <poningru> yeah I thought the .10.5 was the stable madwifi |
|
[15:24] <BenC> poningru: not willing to try the 2.6.27 kernel packages? |
|
[15:24] <poningru> well not for distribution |
|
[15:24] <poningru> BenC, creating a no hassle ubuntu install for these netbooks |
|
[15:25] <poningru> but yeah going to test out intrepid one of these days |
|
[15:26] <poningru> and I guess get a .27 kernel for it |
|
[15:26] <poningru> wait is intrepid going to have a .27 by default? |
|
[15:26] <poningru> or .26 |
|
[15:26] <rtg> poningru: we are currently testing .27 for Intrepid |
|
[15:28] <poningru> oh sweet |
|
[15:28] <poningru> rc3 just came out right? |
|
[15:28] * poningru checks kt |
|
[15:28] <rtg> poningru: -rc4 |
|
[15:28] <poningru> 0.0 |
|
[15:34] <poningru> I shall test and file bugs! but first a ppa |
|
[16:29] <BenC> time to reboot... |
|
[16:51] <BenC> well...everything seems to be functioning well |
|
[16:52] <smb_tp> ... famous last words? ;-) |
|
[17:04] * BenC goes to lunch |
