hardware-kernel-n-bug-handling (1/0/12)

Continuing on the work we have completed in previous blueprints, I'd like for this session to focus on what can be done to continue our efforts in making bugs and bug work more of a fixed priority for the team as well as determining what changes can be made to our current method of determining the bugs to be put on the Top 50 list. We'll also review the utility of the Top 50 and gather ideas on improvements there should that process be seen as effective.

jeremyfoshee

Todo

hardware-kernel-n-config-review (3/0/8)

Configuration changes are defined and approved. Work has not yet started on applying these, should hit before natty-alpha-1.

apw

Todo

hardware-kernel-n-firmware-test-suite-enhancements (2/0/11)

Working on semantic checks of AML bytecode. Work items for ubuntu-11.04: Create a basic BIOS tracking working/broken features against vendor, version: TODO Identify ACPI errors in the kernel log and report them via apport: TODO Change -p option so that it is obvious that tests are being executed: DONE Deeper semantic analysis of ACPI tables, AML code: INPROGRESS Deeper checking of ACPI tables, data+config settings: TODO Identify and push extra diagnostics patches for s/r to mainline + ubuntu kernel 'BIOS testing PPA' as appropriate: TODO Expand Syntax check to add diagnosis/workaround: TODO Change the kernel log test from a table to a text file to allow for better maintenance: TODO Change Logging format: DONE Investigate uEFI tests: TODO Generate LaunchPad tags based on severity and type of error: INPROGRESS

colin-king

Todo

hardware-kernel-n-stable-frankenkernel-maintenance (1/0/4)

Currently working on the implementation of the 2.6.32.y-drm33.z notification scripts, documentation bits to get started soon.

stefan-bader-canonical

Todo

hardware-kernel-n-stable-process-review (0/0/12)

Look over the current process for stable kernel maintenance and identify places to improve the process or make it simpler to understand for people trying to get things changed for released kernels.

sconklin

Todo

hardware-kernel-n-ubuntu-delta-review (2/0/30)

Work has started on updating the Ubuntu drivers. Work centers on updating aufs2 which is a blocker for(performant) live-cds. Pulled in an experimental version of aufs2 for testing in v2.6.36. Also pulled this up to v2.6.37-rc1 and did some testing. Looking good so far. Work items assigned to the individual engineers for upstreaming.

apw

Todo

hardware-kernel-n-version-and-flavours (1/0/8)

Pulled the ports meta-packages into the main master branch to simplify ongoing maintenance.

apw

Todo

none-kernel-n-misc (0/0/3)

The state of ARM support is as yet undefined, ongoing work to determine if we can use Linaro kernels for the distro.

apw

Todo

hardware-desktop-n-xorg-configuration-the-final-ten-percent (0/0/3)

Our kernel/X/desktop stack is now at the point where 90% of hardware is autodetected and configured appropriately.

raof

Todo

multimedia-desktop-n-xorg-general-planning (0/0/1)

Discussion of general X / mesa / libdrm plans for Natty.

raof

Todo

packageselection-foundations-n-grub2-boot-framebuffer (0/0/3)

GRUB2 supports programming a VBE mode in the boot loader and telling the kernel about it, causing the kernel to use a framebuffer at boot. With Linux 2.6.34, vesafb/efifb can hand over smoothly to a KMS driver, allowing us to assemble all of this into something very close to a flicker-free boot splash process.
