| 08:59:18 | seletz | hi all |
| 11:22:53 | Sammy | bye |
| 13:10:41 | amrutha | hai seletz :) |
| 13:10:49 | | que tal, seletz |
| 13:10:49 | seletz | hi |
| 13:11:34 | amrutha | seletz: any idea where i can find suspend.S in the linux kernel? |
| 13:11:53 | amrutha | i want to invoke thgat command at the command line prompt |
| 13:23:47 | seletz | amrutha: hmm, IIRC there's a /proc entry for suspending, but i could be wrong |
| 13:24:42 | seletz | amrutha: suspens.S is no longer used IIRC, there was much change recently. Read the change logs on russels site. |
| 13:25:30 | amrutha | oh really? then how do you invoke sleep at command line prompt? |
| 13:26:26 | amrutha | i could find suspend.S on 2.4.12 /proc/sys/pm |
| 13:27:15 | amrutha | but what i use 2.4.6. how do i port only suspend.S from 2.4.12 to 2.4.6? |
| 13:27:16 | seletz | amrutha: you do something like `echo "1" > /proc/sys/pm/suspend' |
| 13:27:39 | seletz | amrutha: you don't want to do that. |
| 13:28:01 | seletz | amrutha: use the kernel API of newer kernels |
| 13:29:06 | amrutha | seletz: but the problem is 2.4.6 ahs already been sufficiently modified to suit my board.so upgrading to newer kernel is another one day's job which i don;t want to do.. :( |
| 13:29:10 | seletz | amrutha: the echo above worked the last time i checked, my board just didn't wake up, because i had no wakeup source programmed =) |
| 13:29:37 | amrutha | seletz: it works on mine :) |
| 13:29:49 | seletz | amrutha: "Do it right the first time" -- Herman the German |
| 13:29:53 | amrutha | but i want to port it back to 2.4.6 |
| 13:31:10 | seletz | amrutha: you get _much_ benefit if you create patches russell accepts. You learn much. Your kernel will never be out-of-date. 42.4.6 id definitely. |
| 13:32:14 | amrutha | so..u suggest I upgrade to a newer kernel??? |
| 13:32:28 | seletz | amrutha: back-porting such a thing as PM suspend/wakeup is not an easy task IMHO, if not completely impossible |
| 13:32:32 | seletz | amrutha: yup |
| 13:33:43 | seletz | amrutha: however, i don't say that this is easy either. But ists worth the effort IMHO. There are many "xyz-linux" kernels out there which are hoplessy out-of-date. |
| 13:34:06 | amrutha | seletz:hmm...okie. .. but i'm just curious to know what i would want to do if I have to backport the same. |
| 13:34:41 | amrutha | i will have to rebuild the kernel wih the modified makefile? |
| 13:35:18 | seletz | amrutha: Look at the 2.5.2 series. The IRQ subsystem got rewritten due to SA11x0/Sa1111 irq problems. these problems do exist, but older kernels handle them incorrect. |
| 13:36:19 | amrutha | oh..okie!! |
| 13:36:35 | seletz | amrutha: If your patch would have been accepted by rmk, you'd be on-top and coud directly benefit from the new apis and bugfixes. Now you consider back-portimg _features_ but how's about bug-fixes? |
| 13:36:56 | seletz | erikm: hi |
| 13:36:59 | erikm | hello |
| 13:37:02 | erikm | reads back |
| 13:37:07 | seletz | :) |
| 13:37:31 | seletz | getting caffeine |
| 13:38:13 | amrutha | hmm..i guess i shall land into more troubles if i start backporting now :( |
| 13:38:17 | erikm | amrutha: yup, seletz is right. backporting stuff to such an old kernel doesn't make any sense |
| 13:39:09 | amrutha | hmm..okie.. guess i have changed my mind then. |
| 13:39:26 | amrutha | thanx seletz :) |
| 13:40:00 | seletz | erikm: may i ask a off-topic sendmail question? |
| 13:40:04 | seletz | :) |
| 13:40:07 | erikm | sure |
| 13:41:20 | seletz | erikm: i use sendmail/fetchmail/procmail and mutt now. everything is fine _except_ that the From: line is wrong: seletz@eletztrick.de instead of stefan.eletzhofer@.... |
| 13:42:07 | erikm | seletz: add this to your .muttrc: |
| 13:42:17 | seletz | erikm: i tried to fix it using genericstable and/or userdb |
| 13:42:24 | seletz | erikm: ah, my_hdr? |
| 13:42:27 | erikm | my_hdr From: Stefan Eletzhofer <stefan.eletzhofer@...> |
| 13:43:00 | seletz | hmmm, does'nt fill sendmail the From: header? |
| 13:43:05 | seletz | is confused |
| 13:43:10 | erikm | no |
| 13:43:22 | seletz | ok |
| 13:43:31 | erikm | an MTA is only required to set a From header if the MUA didn't set one |
| 13:43:31 | seletz | tries |
| 13:43:40 | seletz | ah! |
| 13:44:02 | seletz | so sendmail messes it up because i didn't supply a correct one... |
| 15:29:04 | prpplague | morning/evening everyone |
| 15:29:27 | prpplague | hope everyone is having a successful day at coding |
| 15:37:08 | prpplague | hmm seletz is enocouraging this morning |
| 15:52:09 | erikm | prpplague: not really. too much other things |
| 19:15:47 | AKIRA-away | lo |
| 19:23:45 | prpplague | howdy there AKIRA-away |
| 19:24:34 | akira | howdy whateveryournickmaymean :) |
| 19:26:02 | prpplague | akira: lol, purple plague, back in the days of quake, everyone always got the good colors, so i alway got purple, and i needed a nick that implied that i was to bring death upon the other plays, thus purple plague, however your only allowed so many chars on the quake nick and it became prpplague |
| 19:29:58 | akira | that was a quite satisfying explanation :) |
| 19:31:28 | prpplague | probably more than you wanted to know,lol |
| 19:34:22 | akira | <g> nah i like to know what kind of people i'm conversing with, even in linux kernel or bootloader channels :] |
| 22:11:24 | akira|afk | n8 |
| 23:19:13 | seletz | hi again |
