| BeagleBug_97 | Hi, is there any guide on installing a real-time patch on Ubuntu 14.04 kernel running on BeagleBoard xM? | 06:10 |
|---|---|---|
| BeagleBug_97 | I found this one : https://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RT_PREEMPT_HOWTO | 06:14 |
| BeagleBug_97 | But how do I leverage the rt features for an ARM processor? | 06:14 |
| yossarianuk | hi - not sure who i spoke to in here weeks ago | 15:52 |
| yossarianuk | I was asking about the OSS snd modules in the kernel (the fact that Ubuntu removes them completely) and that I am unable to play some old games unless i recompile the kernel | 15:53 |
| yossarianuk | I created a bug report - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1434842 | 15:53 |
| ubot5 | Ubuntu bug 1434842 in linux (Ubuntu) "Due to lack of OSS kernel modules, have to recompile the kernel to enable sound in old games - aoss/padsp do not work" [Undecided,New] | 15:53 |
| yossarianuk | cheers | 15:53 |
| infinity | yossarianuk: It's a situation where no one can really win, unfortunately. | 17:56 |
| infinity | yossarianuk: IIRC, compiling OSS (even as modules) leaves some scaffolding in the kernel that makes it misbehave slightly on modern systems. | 17:57 |
| yossarianuk | infinity: but surely if the modules are disabled by default it won't hurt ? other distros (like most of them) have them in the kernel but disabled by default | 17:58 |
| infinity | yossarianuk: So, the userspace shims entirely fail to work in some cases, but maybe these cases involved having one or two things compiled in. We can certainly look at it again. | 18:02 |
| infinity | apw: Can we investigate if it's possible to build OSS *entirely* as modules with no taint on vmlinuz and then just blacklist them all? | 18:02 |
| yossarianuk | cool - its one issue I have with ubuntu... Debian (wheezy) opensuse , Fedora and Arch do have access to the module... | 18:04 |
| infinity | yossarianuk: No promises or anything. But looking through the last few times it was disabled, accidentally enabled, and disabled again, there were always a few =y bits. If it's possible for the whole thing to be =m, *and* that influences vmlinux in no way, then I don't see the harm. | 18:05 |
| infinity | apw: ^ | 18:06 |
| yossarianuk | infinity: thank you very much ! | 18:39 |
| yossarianuk | infinity: any effort is welcomed.... | 18:40 |
| apw | infinity, indeed | 18:42 |
| apw | infinity, i guess with our new blacklist generator we could do that to them | 18:47 |
| yossarianuk | well thanks for whoever looks into this - i'm going to test kubuntu 15.04 - will file bug reports if i find any | 19:30 |
