[05:00] hello, my apologies if this isn't appropriate for this channel. i am trying to apply xenomai and adeos-ipipe patches to the ubuntu kernel. i downloaded the kernel source via: `apt-get source linux-source-2.6.22` when i go to apply the patch to the created directory it seems to fail in a couple of places. so instead i tried extracting the vanilla kernel that was provided from apt-get, then applied my patches. now i'd like to apply the ubuntu patches, [05:02] i am curious if there is a better way to do what i want? or if there is a place i can find the collection of patches that make up linux-source-2.6.22_2.6.22-14.46.diff.gz, as it would be easier to exclude the just those patches that fail to apply [05:11] tarsin: for working with the (gutsy, 2.6.22) kernel, the ideal starting point is 'git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-gutsy.git' [05:11] and then apply your patch to a new branch vs upstream, and then merge the two branches [05:12] of course, that's probably not all that clear if you're not already a git user... [05:13] no.. i'm not. it sounds like its not something i am gonig to be able to hack together tonight unless i spend the next 4 hours looking at it :) [05:13] im familar with version control systems.. but not git === doko__ is now known as doko === doko_ is now known as doko === \sh_away is now known as \sh [08:51] hi [08:52] But quieter in here for this [08:52] I'm just looking at the Gutsy code now [08:52] oh, cool. [08:54] okay, so i cleaned my system of kvm stuff. i apt-get install kvm. it sets everything up and adds the kvm group [08:55] now i try modprobe kvm-amd (with lsmod | grep kvm showing nothing) and get: FATAL: Error inserting kvm_amd (/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/kvm/kvm-amd.ko): Operation not supported [08:55] then you do sudo modprobe kvm_amd ? [08:55] now lsmod | grep kvm shows: kvm 64944 0 [08:56] stock gutsy kernel, i didn't do anything funky with custom kernels, etc. [08:56] Hmmm, that looks as if kvm-amd doesn't like the CPU [08:57] grep svm /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l shows 2 [09:00] whatever, i uninstalled kvm. i don't want to reboot my computer for something that shouldn't need me rebooting [09:00] IntuitiveNipple: if you do figure it out, let me know. i'm off to bed. thanks. [09:01] I'm checking the source now [09:02] Was the precise error "Operation not supported" ? [09:03] Yes. [09:04] gah, i won't get any sleep at this rate :P [09:04] hmmm, that is a generic error caused by internal issues [09:04] meaning...? [09:04] It is not an error generated specifically by KVM [09:06] yeargh [09:06] is kvm really worth it? what will i get from that that i wouldn't get from qemu? [09:06] The error is something like this: ? [09:06] FATAL: Error inserting kvm_intel (/lib/modules/2.6.20-6-generic/kernel/drivers/kvm/kvm-intel.ko): Operation not supported [09:06] i already pasted the exact error [09:06] It's fantastically faster... I use kvm all the time [09:06] even if i'm emulating linux on linux? [09:07] (fedora on ubuntu) [09:07] If you want to do that, use User Mode Linux, but yes, it is faster because KVM doesn't emulate user instructions, it runs them on the native CPU [09:08] well, it's actually the olpc image on ubuntu [09:08] but since i'll be actually testing it out on my c2d laptop, there's no sense in trying on this desktop very hard [09:09] I run with KVM, it works well [09:09] anyway, goodnight. if i care about this more, i'll help test out in winter break. right now i've got work to do :( [09:09] I run XO with KVM, is what I meant to type! [09:10] night [09:10] so gotta wake up early to get to it :( [09:10] oh, cool. that's good to know, but sad to know won't work on my laptop for sure (which doesn't have intel's vt extensions for sure) [09:11] You can use user mode linux, that'll be fast [09:12] One thing I can think to check... has the /dev/kvm device been created and what are its permissions [09:13] I see: [09:13] $ ls -l /dev/kvm [09:13] crw-rw---- 1 root kvm 10, 232 2007-11-21 14:52 /dev/kvm [10:33] hi all [12:55] Oh, BenC! Just the man I wanted to talk to. :) [12:55] BenC: When do you suppose the first hardy kernels will hit the archive? [12:56] soren: Going to find out the status this morning [12:56] BenC: Oh, good. === ember_ is now known as ember [13:44] hi guys [13:45] I wonder, if Hardy kernel builds are planned soon? I'd like to have SATA link and hda-intel power management features on my laptop. [13:47] zdzichuBG: soon.. [13:47] cool [14:15] hmm, how do I set the device class of a PCI card? [15:18] moin [15:37] is there a kernel team meeting this week? === \sh is now known as \sh_away [16:20] http://guichaz.free.fr/misc/#iotop is pretty useful, but requires " Linux >= 2.6.20 with I/O accounting support". Could this be enabled in ubuntu? === asac_ is now known as asac [20:16] oi this is such pain..
