| [16:24] <cobradevil> hello all | |
| [16:24] <cobradevil> will there be xen dom0 support in intrepid? | |
| [16:27] <abogani> I suppose that zul know it. | |
| [16:31] <cobradevil> will wait then? | |
| [16:53] <joumetal> I am trying to triage bug 272537. Is it related to new tlsup driver for toshiba laptops? | |
| [17:47] <CarlFK> bug #272537 | |
| === thegodfather is now known as fabbione | |
| [18:06] <munckfish> BenC: spufs isn't getting mounted on boot - it's module so it isn't listed in /proc/filesystems and that's what is checked to see if a filesystem is supported. | |
| [18:07] <munckfish> I'm working with Colin W to see how to work this through in the scripts in sysvinit | |
| [18:07] <munckfish> but how would you feel about spufs being a builtin instead of a module in powerpc64-smp | |
| [18:07] <munckfish> ? | |
| [18:08] <munckfish> Of course I realise it's only needed for Cell | |
| [18:12] <munckfish> spufs.ko amounts to 191K I'm guessing that's a fairly average to small size module | |
| [20:08] <DGMurdockIII> hey | |
| [20:09] <DGMurdockIII> guy I have a problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/277749 | |
| [20:20] <BenC> DGMurdockIII: the driver is labeled as beta | |
| [20:20] <BenC> DGMurdockIII: and we are frozen right now for our own beta release | |
| [20:20] <BenC> DGMurdockIII: likely wont make it in, but we'll see what we can do | |
| [20:22] <DGMurdockIII> if it dosent make it in this realese would it be possable that it could be made as a update | |
| [20:22] <DGMurdockIII> after the new version of ubuntu is realsed | |
| [20:23] <joumetal> BenC: Could you have quick look at bug 272537? | |
| [20:24] <DGMurdockIII> and you could contact there live support is open if you want to talk to them about there linux driver and there a pritty small compony | |
| [20:25] <DGMurdockIII> http://www.bigfootnetworks.com/support/ left of site says live support | |
| [20:27] <DGMurdockIII> (BenC): you still there | |
| [20:30] <munckfish> BenC: any thoughts on the above question ^ | |
| [20:33] <BenC> munckfish: I thought we had solved the spufs module loading previously | |
| [20:33] <BenC> munckfish: I think initramfs loaded it if it detected a cell machine | |
| [20:34] <munckfish> BenC: well we have a new problem | |
| [20:34] <munckfish> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ps3-port/+bug/274854 | |
| [20:34] <munckfish> see my last comment | |
| [20:34] <BenC> DGMurdockIII: to start off with, the module doesn't even compile with our latest kernel | |
| [20:34] <laga> DGMurdockIII: why don't they support their kernel to upstream? | |
| [20:35] <munckfish> It's a chicken and egg situ | |
| [20:35] <DGMurdockIII> lthey have another driver | |
| [20:36] <munckfish> BenC: so the fix is either by making the module a builtin or by modifying the scripts in sysvinit. If you're happy for it to become a builtin like the other kernel filesystems procfs and sysfs | |
| [20:36] <DGMurdockIII> (BenC): http://www.bigfootnetworks.com/Support/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=viewdownload&downloaditemid=13&nav=0,2,8 if you have problem you can try posting in there forums here they are very helpfill http://www.killernic.com/KillerForums/forumdisplay.php?f=7 | |
| [20:36] <munckfish> BenC: then that would be a very quick and decisive fix | |
| [20:37] <munckfish> BenC: would just appreciate your viewpoint on the matter (if you have any) | |
| [20:42] <BenC> munckfish: I think the sysvinit scripts is a better place, not being built-in | |
| [20:43] <BenC> munckfish: it should only be loaded and mounted for cell machines (which is easily detected in /proc/cpuinfo, IIRC) | |
| [20:44] <munckfish> BenC: cool thx that's where I'll focus my attention | |
| [20:44] <BenC> munckfish: The reason I say that is because ppc kernel+initramfs has a size limit imposed by yaboot (I think, but never-the-less, no-bloat is best) | |
| [20:47] <munckfish> BenC: aha I see. So we'll keep it slim then. | |
| [21:22] <DGMurdockIII> do ubuntu support fingerprint readers | |
| [21:23] <Nafallo> define 'support' | |
| === nm-rocker is now known as asac | |
| [21:56] <DGMurdockIII> as in will they be able to be used to for like as loking in | |
| [21:56] <DGMurdockIII> loging in to the OS | |
| [22:01] <BenC> DGMurdockIII: not out-of-the-box, but there are things you can install and configure to make use of it | |
| [22:01] <BenC> probably a howto on the wiki | |
| [22:02] <DGMurdockIII> will ubuntu ever support it out of the box | |
| [22:11] <BenC> Currently our security team tells me that fingerprint reader is not very secure | |
| [22:11] <BenC> mainly because of the hardware | |
| [22:11] <BenC> There are some good fingerprint readers, but it's not easy to tell from the OS whether it's a secure reader or not | |
| [22:12] <BenC> Anyway, there's probably comments and discussion about it all over launchpad.net and wiki.ubuntu.com, so best to go there for answers | |
| [22:33] <CarlFK> you mean "touch here to log in" isn't secure? :) | |
| [23:47] * kees likes to think of fingerprint readers as someone having a 3-character password. | |
