[07:56] <abogani> Someone know what is timeframe for 2.6.27-10.20? I would want rebase -rt on -generic kernel but i don know if do job against 2.6.27-9.19 or is better wait 2.6.27-10.20...
[07:59] <smb_tp> abogani, Hm, actually I thought 10.20 is already there...
[08:00] <smb_tp> abogani, Ah, -proposed
[08:00] <abogani> smb_tp: You are right but i meant in -updates
[08:01] <smb_tp> abogani, Normally this should happen soon, given no bigger problems arise...
[08:04] <abogani> smb_tp: Ok. Thank you.

[09:50] <gregd> hi guys, I asked already some time ago about using kernel 2.6.28 in my intrepid ubuntu. And I got an answer I should wait for the build to be finished.
[09:51] <gregd> So I presume, it is finished. What's the easiest way of getting the newer kernel for my ubuntu?

[13:44] <gregd> hello. How can I make my ubuntu (intrepid) download (and install) the build of kernel 2.6.28?
[13:53] <amitk> gregd: i386 or amd64?
[13:54] <gregd> amitk: i386
[13:54] <amitk> gregd: download this deb and use dpkg -i <deb> to install: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-2.6.28-1-ub-generic_2.6.28-1.1_i386.deb
[13:55] <gregd> amitk: and than just to edit my bootloader to add this new kernel?
[13:56] <amitk> gregd: installing the deb should take care of it. But you may cross-check /boot/grub/menu.lst
[13:56] <amitk> all this will ofcourse become automatic in the coming weeks
[13:56] <gregd> amitk: perfect! Thanks a lot. I'm gonna try this kernel out today!
[13:58] <amitk> gregd: please do report problems in launchpad :)
[13:58] <gregd> I will if I find something!
[15:07] <Kano> hi
[15:07] <Kano> did anybody successfully use nfs with 2.6.28?
[15:30] <apw> Kano, not heard anything negative about NFS for it, you got problems with that kernel?
[15:31] <Kano> yes, it does not work at all
[15:31] <Kano> did you use it?
[15:31] <apw> unable to mount things? panics all over the place?
[15:31] <apw> not something i've had to use as yet no
[15:31] <Kano> the nfs-kernel-server does not work
[15:31] <apw> is there a lp bug open yet?
[15:32] <apw> what does it say when it starts?
[15:32] <Kano> i dont think that kernel is in the repository
[15:32] <apw> this on intrepid?
[15:32] <Kano> nope, i do not use intrepid
[15:32] <apw> we are just switching jaunty to a 2.6.28 based kernel, so if there is an NFS userspace interaction it may occur there too
[15:33] <apw> what base are you using?
[15:33] <Kano> i tested it on lenny + etch (with latest backports of portmap+nfs-kernel-server)
[15:34] <Kano> i compile the kernels from git with small config changes like static vesafb
[15:34] <Kano> or enabled ath5k
[15:35] <apw> hmmm ... well i guess the first thing to check is for required version of the nfs userspace tools for the .28 kernel, that should be documented in Documentation/* somewhere
[15:35] <Kano> well newer as the latest one is somehow stupid ;)
[15:37] <Kano> another thing, i found yesterday a missing firmware, today the next (both are for 2.6.27 too)
[15:37] <Kano> http://hpmerkel.com/hpblog/images/dvb-usb-digivox-02.fw.tgz
[15:38] <Kano> this one is for dvb-t too
[15:38] <Kano> extracted of course...
[17:17] <gregd> guys, I've just installed linux-image-2.6.28-1-ub-generic_2.6.28-1.1_i386.deb. Is it enough to migrate to this kernel, or should I install some modules as well?
[17:42] <gregd> actually it works well
[17:55] <apw> if you don't have any binary drivers that should be enough
[18:17] <fransman> gregd: The kernel modules are in the package
