[02:03] <kendrick> Hi, I'm having an overheating issue that starts somewhere between 2.6.31-11 and 2.6.31-14 on an acer aspire 5315. Where can I properly fill this bug? I tried following the online guides but i guess because this is the beta version "ubuntu-bug linux" tells me this is not a genuine Ubuntu pakage.
[02:37] <maxb> it is not because its a beta that it says that
[02:38] <maxb> try ubuntu-bug linux-image-$(uname -r)
[02:38] <maxb> kendrick: ^
[02:41] <kendrick> what kernel image would i use if i only know that the bug lies somewhere between -11 and -14 or should i try to narrow it down myself first?
[03:12] <Womble2> It's a Keybuk!
[03:12] <Keybuk> It's a Womble!
[03:12] <Womble2> Yes
[03:28] <lamont> kendrick: I might file it against -14 and mention that it worked in -11, and is broken in -14
[03:28] <lamont> though in any case, you'll be filing it against the 'linux' package, not the binary
[05:34] <kendrick> I wrote about an overheating problem I am having on kernel 2.6.31-14 and I was wondering: when I send my problem information using "ubuntu-bug linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic" should I be booted up in that kernel?
[05:47] <jjohansen> kendrick: that is the easiest way
[10:22] <Darxus> install: cannot stat `debian/linux-bfs-image-2.6.31-14bfsbfq1-generic-pae/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14bfsbfq1-generic-pae': No such file or directory
[10:23] <Darxus> That's a discouraging error.
[10:57] <Darxus> Found my problem.
[10:57] <Darxus> I renamed the pae package linux-bfs (incorrectly) and the virtual package linux-bfs-bfq.  And it was... transitioning between them.
[10:57] <Darxus> I need to un-hardcode this stuff.
[12:12] <xteejx> Hi guys, I am triaging bug 425756, it's against the kernel, to do with hardware detection, I've set it Triaged as I believe there is enough information for someone to look at it. Can someone from Kernel Team confirm there is enough information please?

[12:12] <xteejx> note: its a regression from hardy
[15:40] <b2bf> hi everybody. i maybe messed up with libraries and when i try to compile my kernel it returns with drivers/built-in.o: In function `con_init':vt.c:(.init.text+0x1969): undefined reference to `.L1454'  anyone may help?
[17:25] <Darxus> After karmic is released, you guys will accept a patch to make the linux source package name less hard coded, right?  Renaming it every release is painful.
[17:25] <dtchen> err
[17:26] <dtchen> it's linux.
[17:26] <dtchen> are you referring to the _binary_ package linux-source-2.6.foo?
[17:27] <Darxus> No.
[17:27] <Darxus> dtchen: I've been making a patched version named linux-bfs-bfq.
[17:27] <Darxus> And there is a bunch of stuff in the package for automating renaming, but it's not used in a lot of places.
[17:28] <Darxus> I'm just talking about changing it so I only have to modify the package name in a couple places.
[17:29] <dtchen> well, sure, i'm certain patches would be reviewed
[17:29] <Darxus> Thanks.
[17:30] <Darxus> A big part of the problem is, "linux" is far from a uniq string I can just search and replace on.
[21:20] <feniix> Hello
[21:21] <feniix> Can anybody tell me or point me to a how to on how to force the make-kpkg command create the .dsc .diff.gz and .changes files to uploadad to ppa using dput?
[21:22] <Darxus> feniix: That's probably an inappropriate way to create something for upload to a ppa, even if it's possible.
[21:22] <feniix> I have applied the con kolivas patch to the latest 2.6.31 kernel from karmic and I would like to be able to upload it to ppa (or do I need to create those files manually?)
[21:23] <feniix> oh :/
[21:23] <Darxus> feniix: I'm doing the same, properly :)
[21:23] <feniix> what would be the appropiate way?
[21:23] <feniix> :D
[21:23] <Darxus> I already did 2.6.31-13 with v.303, I'm currently updating to 2.6.31-14 with v.304.
[21:23] <feniix> cool :)
[21:24] <Darxus> feniix: Well, the hard way is to patch the existing linux sourc package that produces basically all the ubuntu kernel packages.    I expect to upload the new version within an hour, so the new stuff will be available today.
[21:25] <feniix> I did a git clone from the ubuntu git karmic repository
[21:25] <Darxus> feniix: I actually dropped my version with just bfs and am now doing bfs+bfq.
[21:25] <Darxus> I've never used git :P
[21:27] <Darxus> feniix: I'd really appreciate testing of the new version later today.
[21:29] <feniix> ok, I am already running 304. but would be more than willing to try yours
[21:29] <feniix> so far no issues
[21:29] <Darxus> Thanks.
[21:29] <Darxus> Yeah I haven't had any problems.

[21:30] <Darxus> I've been running it since I got it to build, 8 days.
[21:30] <Darxus> feniix: Looks like you found a bug in ubot3.

[21:41] <Darxus> Building source package, which takes about 5 minutes, then I'll upload, then launchpad with spend a few hours building.
[21:50] <feniix> :)
[22:07] <feniix> Draxus: can you tell me the process of building the package the way you did?
[22:07] <feniix> Draxus: apt-get source linux-image (and then modify it and apply patches?)
[22:08] <Darxus> feniix: It's in the bug I gave you a link to.
[22:09] <Darxus> feniix: I uploaded the source package.  1 hour till it starts building, then about 3 hours to build.
[22:09] <Darxus> feniix: If you don't care about renaming the package it's easy.
[22:09] <feniix> aaah
[22:09] <feniix> cool, found that part
[22:09] <Darxus> Make sure you get the stuff about disabling ABI and modules checks.  That's a pain.
[22:28] <feniix> Yeah saw your messages
[22:29] <feniix> I will wait for your ppa first, and then will try to see how does the build process work
[22:30] <feniix> at first I thought you uploaded binary only packages to the ppas, but now I see its a continuous build system and builds the packages itself
[22:37] <Darxus> Yeah.    Annoying.
[22:38] <Darxus> You get an email that your upload was accepted or rejected.  And if a build fails.  I wish you got one when all builds completed.
[23:32] <feniix> funny
[23:32] <feniix> if you use ppa.launchpad.net without https
[23:32] <feniix> you get access to full directory listing


[06:48] <lordievader> Good morning.
[11:51] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[19:37] <daftykins> hallo all \o
[19:54] <freeadnam> hello
[19:56] <daftykins> hi
[19:57] <freeadnam> I was just seeing if this really works. kinda new to irc
[19:58] <daftykins> ah, plenty of other channels are useful for such testing then
[19:58] <freeadnam> sorry, my bad.
[20:02] <DosTuMai> Have you tried #ubuntu for any tech?
[20:02] <DosTuMai> It's always great to have open just to watch these guys in awe.
[20:03] <daftykins> as long as you can turn a blind eye to me slating the ones that enjoy reinventing the wheel
[20:03] <DosTuMai> I'm just a network & cryptology nerd. >_>
[20:04] <DosTuMai> xD
[20:09] <daftykins> sudormrf -> well known channel idiot
[20:09] <daftykins> if i could script i would have an auto reply of "what've you broken this time?" on his join
[20:37] <OerHeks> wait .. i thought i was the channel id... never mind
[20:37] <daftykins> :D
[20:37] <daftykins> aww sorry OerHeks i've stolen your dream title
[20:37] <OerHeks> :-(
[20:38] <OerHeks> please please please
[20:38] <OerHeks> let me ruin one server tonight
[20:39] <OerHeks>  /j #mint-server
[20:40] <daftykins> XD
[20:41] <daftykins> oh did you guys read about that person who, for fun ran "rm -rf /" on their machine before planning to do a clean install... only to find that due to a bug in their system's EFI, their EFI boot variables were set as read-write... so the whole system was bricked
[20:41] <daftykins> it wouldn't even POST after that
[20:41] <daftykins> seriously nasty :S
[20:42] <OerHeks> hang the disk in an other machine, non-uefi, and zero it ?
[20:42] <daftykins> nah the rm actually wiped EFI items under /proc - which meant the motherboard was useless after
[20:43] <OerHeks> oh, don't know about that
[20:43] <daftykins> http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/02/02/delete_efivars_linux/
[20:43] <daftykins> here we are
[20:44] <OerHeks> but uefi is nasty indeed, i hesitate buying a fresh machine
[20:44] <daftykins> lots of buggy ones out there, indeedy
[20:45] <daftykins> actually i updated the BIOS on a clients' Dell desktop the other day ahead of putting some new RAM in... afterwards i could no longer install Windows 7 in EFI mode, only legacy - ho-hum
[22:45] <daftykins> OerHeks: glad you got there before me, i was going to say "bless you!"  Did I miss the party ? Ballons, whistles and lots of cookies ?
[23:52] <daftykins> hello there :)
[23:52] <daftykins> just a good long break really! are you well?
[23:52] <OerHeks> ... wait, cookies?
[23:54] <Bashing-om> daftykins: Minor interruption in the flow .. Semi-truck took out the lines and power poles, was a bit getting service restored .
[23:55] <daftykins> ouch! were you without power for long?
[23:55] <daftykins> and internet too presumably?
[23:58] <Bashing-om> daftykins: Power was on a different grid . The interruption was at the point of presence of our cable provider . Took out the fiber optics also . Ouch !
[23:58] <daftykins> oh no!
[23:59] <daftykins> sounds like you might have had a good holiday (albeit forced) from here as well though ;)
