The KernelTeam's KernelMaintenance page does mention a little about this but provides no examples or detail. I found out what was necessary by sending questions to the kernel team mailing ... http://munckfish.net/blog/archive/2008/08/30/ubuntu-ps3-kernel-upstream-syncing/ The easiest way to build the kernel for PS3 is to do so on the PS3 itself. However even with great tools like ccache to speed up repeated builds it can take a long time on PS3 most probably because of its relative small amount of RAM (256MB). So I ... http://munckfish.net/blog/archive/2008/08/16/ubuntu-ps3-kernel-building/ I want to make a series of posts to record some of the things I've found out about maintaining the Ports Kernel for PS3 so far. I'm still to complete the full cycle to getting an updated kernel build into the repos but I'd like to note what I've found ... http://munckfish.net/blog/archive/2008/08/16/maintaining-the-ubuntu-ps3-kernel-getting-started/ I am relatively new to the Ubuntu PS3 Port team. I joined about a month before Hardy was released when I was told by Gouki that there really wasn't any development happening on it because it was a community maintained port just like the PowerPC port now is too. I ... http://munckfish.net/blog/archive/2008/05/17/working-on-the-ubuntu-ps3-port/ Hi folks. This is my first post to Planet Ubuntu Users. Thanks to Gouki for letting me on board. As well as blogging about general Ubuntu stuff I'll also be talking about the Ubuntu PS3 Port project which I'm currently obsessed with. http://munckfish.net/blog/archive/2008/05/13/hello-planet/ I have now got Ubuntu installed on my PS3. This is very cool! The potential of no longer having to have a desktop computer sat in the corner taking up space is fantastic. Instead I have a mini super computer in a small beautifully styled consumer device's clothing connected ... http://munckfish.net/blog/archive/2008/02/15/linux-on-playstation-3/ Flicking through the menus on a Panasonic Viera 32" LCD I discovered a "Software Licence" link in the setup menu. Amazingly this links to a full copy of the GPL and a link to am-linux.jp. Seems it runs Linux! http://munckfish.net/blog/archive/2008/02/13/linux-on-tv/ I upgraded my desktop machine to Gutsy today to have a play with it before upgrading my laptop. I'm really glad I did it in this order as it appears there may be a regression in the version of Java 6 shipping on Gutsy. I happened to test out a Java ... http://munckfish.net/blog/archive/2007/10/20/regression-java6-displaymodes-gutsy/ Bryce Harrington (an Ubuntu Developer) has created an article demonstrating the new BulletProofX feature which will be included in the upcoming 7.10 (Gutsy) release of the OS: BulletProofX It's fantastic to see this finally implemented, Graphics Card and Screen issues, in my experience, have been the most visible deficiency of the ... http://munckfish.net/blog/archive/2007/10/11/bulletproofx/
