| columbobaas | Anyone a perfect tuturial for compiling to the latest kernel? Always black screen after reboot now. | 09:59 |
|---|---|---|
| columbobaas | (after compiling) | 10:00 |
| apw | columbobaas, what do you mean by the latest kernel, and what are you compiling for | 10:41 |
| columbobaas | The latest kernel has a good AMD support | 10:42 |
| columbobaas | apw: so I want to try it. | 10:42 |
| apw | yes but where are you getting it, which latest kernel source are you referring to | 10:42 |
| apw | and what h/w platform is it | 10:43 |
| columbobaas | x86_64 | 10:43 |
| ohsix | 'perfect' 'tutorial' | 10:44 |
| ohsix | a tutorial is a list of things to do, and that falls short of documentation which still isn't perfect | 10:44 |
| columbobaas | ohsix, well documentation about fixing x then | 10:44 |
| columbobaas | after compiling | 10:44 |
| apw | columbobaas, i am trying to find out where the source you are trying to compile when you say "latest" | 10:45 |
| apw | is this latest ubuntu kernel, latest upstream, latest random vendor kernel, what | 10:45 |
| apw | what level of that are you trying to find, as we have kernels at different levels | 10:45 |
| apw | what release are you trying to make it work on, etc etc | 10:45 |
| apw | "how make latest work" isn't enough to help really | 10:45 |
| ohsix | nor is 'black screen' | 10:46 |
| columbobaas | ohsix, x not loading | 10:46 |
| ohsix | literally hundreds of kconfig options can lead to that, you should probably figure out how to build the ubuntu kernel first and diverge slowly | 10:46 |
| apw | columbobaas, for example is what you really want is a 4.2 based kernel, there is a 4.2 based ubuntu modified and configured kernel in the CKT PPA | 10:47 |
| apw | if you want a pure upstream kerenl, we produce builds of those in the mainline build archive | 10:47 |
| apw | which are configured with the ubuntu config | 10:47 |
| columbobaas | thank you for the ckt ppa tip | 10:47 |
| apw | columbobaas, that is an early preview of the next wily kernel | 10:48 |
| apw | which if you are after the very latest support might be an option, trying a wily daily CD and seeing if it works | 10:48 |
| apw | if so upgrading there might help | 10:48 |
| apw | but ... without knowing more about what you are referring to, its all guess work | 10:48 |
| columbobaas | yes, but I learn | 10:49 |
| columbobaas | I tried a lot of distros, but ubuntu is the most solid. I compiled the kernel in Debian and now i want to try it in Ubuntu | 10:50 |
| apw | the most important thing is to make sure you have installed linux-image-* and linux-image-extra-* if you are building ubuntu kernels | 10:52 |
| apw | else you have only half the kernel (the bit a virtual machine needs) not the bit a machine with displays etc need | 10:52 |
| columbobaas | but is it really with .deb files? I found it really strange. | 10:52 |
| apw | columbobaas, "it" ? debian builds produce .deb's, ubuntu is a debian/apt based distro so our builds produce debs | 11:03 |
| columbobaas | apw: on Debian i downloaded the latest kernel from kernel.org and used to make command | 11:04 |
| columbobaas | the make command* | 11:04 |
| apw | you can do that, but it dumps files into your system that you cannot easily find to remove | 11:05 |
| apw | which is why you normally use .debs to contain them | 11:05 |
| apw | most likely your issue is configuration then, and i'd use the one in /boot for the nearest version of an ubuntu-kernel | 11:05 |
| columbobaas | Thanks for that explenation | 11:06 |
| apw | or you could use the mainline builds which do the same thing for you | 11:06 |
| tseliot | apw: problem solved (with flush_workqueue): https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/8/4/775 | 13:19 |
| rtg | tseliot, not until 4.3 - in the meantime I've committed it as a SAUCE patch on Wily master-next | 13:34 |
| tseliot | rtg: thanks | 13:34 |
| tseliot | that will make my life much easier | 13:34 |
| rtg | tseliot, I've verified that linux 4.2-3.3 fixes build problems with bcmwl. I also uploaded bcmwl yesterday to fix a different FTBS | 13:36 |
| tseliot | rtg: nice, I hadn't noticed the failure | 13:37 |
| tseliot | I still have to fix one more thing for fglrx I think, but I'm busy with other work. I promise to do that soon though | 13:38 |
| apw | tseliot, heh yeah, that was tim :) | 14:13 |
| ricotz | apw, hi, is 4.2.0-3 already scheduled to land in the archive? | 14:17 |
| apw | ricotz, we're working on getting it to feature paritity with 4.1 before so | 14:18 |
| ricotz | apw, alright, got a bit scared ;) | 14:18 |
| apw | ricotz, heh why ? | 14:18 |
| ricotz | apw, seems a bit early for my taste even it is rc5 already | 14:19 |
| apw | ricotz, oh devel is always the wild west | 14:21 |
| apw | we've got gcc5, what could be more wild than that | 14:21 |
| ricotz | of course but the kernel is another thing | 14:21 |
| ricotz | right | 14:21 |
| apw | ricotz, the kernel is a unique snowflake in the sense you get to keep older ones :) | 14:22 |
| apw | so one could claim that being more caviliere is ok, but anyhow its pending some DKMS fixes for sure | 14:23 |
| apw | and likley by the time those kinks are worked out we'll be at a much later rc or even release upstream | 14:23 |
| ricotz | yeah, although while the filesystem gets crumbled into pieces there is no older kernel anymore ;) | 14:23 |
| ricotz | of course still looking forward for a new shiny kernel | 14:26 |
| apw | it passes some pretty hard filesystem testing before it gets out of our PPA, and most of us run it for some time before as well | 14:27 |
| arges | sforshee: hey bug 1476900, did this get uploaded into wily | 15:11 |
| ubot5 | bug 1476900 in linux-firmware (Ubuntu) "Backport Intel 8260 Wifi/BT firmwares" [Medium,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1476900 | 15:11 |
| sforshee | arges: I think so, let me double check | 15:16 |
| arges | sforshee: just not marked in the bug, wanted to verify before accepting into proposed | 15:17 |
| sforshee | arges: yeah, the last upload did include it, I didn't think to add the bug number | 15:17 |
| arges | sforshee: ok i'll mark it fix release then. thakns | 15:19 |
| sforshee | arges: already did it | 15:20 |
| arges | sforshee: cool | 15:20 |
