** Description changed: + SRU Justification/Impact: + + It seems the comedi staging drivers were disabled in Lucid. This is a + regression from Karmic. I'm not sure why these were disabled, so if + someone has a good reason for them to remain disabled please speak up. + + Per the request of the usbdux maintainer, I've re-enabled comedi by + reverting the patch which disabled it. I recognize we are frozen for + the upcoming release so please consider this for the first Lucid Stable + Release Update. + + TEST CASE: + + I've built a test kernel which re-enables comedi and have received + confirmation from the bug reporter (usbdux maintainer) that this indeed + provides the comedi drivers. + + ===== + The kernel modules for comedi were available in karmic but have disappeared from lucid.

Can you guys include comedi in 2.6.32. That would be great if that could be fixed before the release of lucid because I (and the comedi community) was really looking forward to an ubuntu with all comedi drivers installed. We have spent quite a lot of effort to get comedi into the mainstream kernel and comedi is used by many users. /Bernd Linux bp1-lab 2.6.32-21-generic #31-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 13 20:34:00 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux b...@bp1-lab:/usr/local/src$ cat /proc/version_signature Ubuntu 2.6.32-21.31-generic 2.6.32.11+drm33.2 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: linux-image-2.6.32-21-generic 2.6.32-21.31 Regression: Yes Reproducible: Yes ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-21.31-generic 2.6.32.11+drm33.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-21-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21.
