l-r-m 2.6.20?

Hi,

is there a sourcepackage for linux-restricted-modules2.6.20?  If not is
there some place I can find a package which allows the building of l-r-m
against a 2.6.20 kernel?  I've tried changin debian/changelog of l-r-m
2.6.19.3 to include a 2.6.20 line but I get an error from
dpkg-gencontrol:

dpkg-gencontrol: error: source package has two conflicting values -
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.19 and linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20
dh_gencontrol: command returned error code 65280
make: *** [binary-indep] Error 1

I asume that I'm not generating the changelog properly.

thx,

matt

USB and power management issues

Hello,

I provided some help to a couple of users in the Italian Ubuntu forum having
issues with USB and power management. Some times ago I had a similar behaviour
and I partially fixed in the way listed at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucaFalavigna/QuickFixes.

As today, Ubuntu kernels do not include such option and users need to recompile
their kernels in order to avoid this behaviour. Is there any drawback enabling
it in Ubuntu kernels starting from Feisty? I think it could be useful to whom
suffers from this issue.

I link the threads regarding this for your reference:
http://forum.ubuntu-it.org/index.php?topic=46669
http://forum.ubuntu-it.org/index.php?topic=48035

See also bug #50610
(https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/50610)

Thank you for the attention.

[PULL] v4l-dvb fixes for edgy

Ubuntu Kernel Team,

Normally, I submit fixes for stable kernels to the -stable kernel team, however,
the 2.6.17.y-stable  kernel series has already been closed.  Regardless, it will
be helpful for users of Ubuntu Edgy to have these fixes.

Please pull the 'master' branch from:
	git://git.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mkrufky/v4l-dvb-2.6.17.y.git

for the following:

Hans Verkuil:
      V4L: Fix broken TUNER_LG_NTSC_TAPE radio support

Michael Krufky:
      DVB: lgdt330x: fix signal / lock status detection bug

 drivers/media/dvb/frontends/lgdt330x.c |    6 ------
 drivers/media/video/tuner-simple.c     |    2 ++
 drivers/media/video/tuner-types.c      |   14 ++------------
 3 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-)

For future reference, I will continue to push stable bug-fixes to the git
repository at the above location.

Cheers,

Michael Krufky

linux-restricted-modules makefile

Hi,

I'm trying to modify debian/rules in the l-r-m package to let users
build l-r-m for their custom-built kernels.  The idea is to add a
"FLAVOURS" variable which can be passed on the command line thus:

FLAVOURS="ref-suspend2" fakeroot debian/rules binary

allowing users to build l-r-m even if they don't have the header files
for all of the standard kernel packages.  

SO I've gotten to the point where this variable does get passed and lots
of files are installed to 2.6.20-1-ref-suspend2; but the actual .deb is
not built.  So I'm wondering whether I need to modify some other file to
make sure the deb is actually created.

The patch for debian/rules is attached.  There's a couple of irrelevant
changes (eg changing the abi_version) that have to do with the kernels I
have on hand to experiment with, but it should be obvious which bits are
relevant.

Thanks,

matt

list of kernel patches?

Hi,

From diffing the edgy kernel source with a vanilla 2.6.17.14, there
appear to have been quite a few patches made by the ubuntu developers.
Many seem to be changes that have been rolled into later kernels, but
a few look like they're unofficial or not-yet-released kernel code.  I
need to run a later kernel for various reasons, and would like to know
what patches ubuntu is using that *aren't* present in 2.6.19.1, so I
can decide if I want to apply them myself.  Is there any way to find
out?  Not being versed in the mysterious ways of the kernel source, I
would ideally like to have an English description of the changes.  Is
there a way?

Many thanks in advance,

If you need a later kernel, then maybe just try the 2.6.20-rc2 based
kernels in feisty.

Easy enough. It's in git at kernel.org

You could have saved yourself 3 emails, and a lot of time, just going to
wiki.ubuntu.com

Of course it's obvious to you how wiki.ubuntu.com would have saved me
time, but I knew about that site already and I was still in the dark.
I went through this search process long before I found the ubuntu
kernel mailing list and spent hours googling around before bothering
you.  It seems that searching for "kernel" on the wiki answers lots of
my questions, so thanks.

Maybe I'm crazy, but the thought of using unreleased kernel source gives me 
the willies.  I guess it might be instructive to diff Feisty's kernel with 
the official release candidate, but I'd really like to look at the revision 
control history for Feisty's kernel, along with the log comments.
