[01:40] Am I safe to ask about building a modified kernel module under Kubuntu here? [02:53] fructose: you can ask here, although we have a small chan [02:54] you are more likely to get help in #ubuntu which is larger [02:54] are you sure you need it *build* the kernel? [02:54] many are available in PPAs [02:54] low latency, for instance [02:54] valorie: I tried in #ubuntu, but just seemed to generate extra silence [02:55] ha [02:55] I have never built a kernel [02:55] !kernel [02:55] The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [02:55] valorie: I'm not sure I need to. There's a driver with a commented-out device ID that matches a microscope camera I'd like to get working [02:55] see the above link [02:55] valorie: Supposedly you can force them to bind, but I'm having issues with that too [02:56] !stages [02:56] The Ubuntu Kernel gets updated in stages. If you have the updated kernel, but do not have the corresponding restricted modules, you may be leaving yourself with no X when you reboot. If you have compiled binary versions of your video driver, eg from the nVidia site, you will need to recompile them for the new kernel. This is normal, and not a bug. [02:56] I know how to get ubottu to give that to you but that is the extent of my knowledge [02:59] valorie: My issue is just that when I build, the I cannot insmod and dmesg reports incompatible number magic [02:59] I'm on kernel 5.0.0-38-generic, but it ends up building 5.0.12 [02:59] I built from the source collected from running apt source kernel-source [03:00] this is the devel chan, not support, sorry [03:00] shouldn't have answered here [03:00] Okay, thanks anyway [12:49] Howdy folks [12:54] hi === wgrant is now known as wgrant_ === wgrant_ is now known as wgrant [19:04] RikMills: thank you for uploading my plasma packaging fixes, I pushed to git a couple more for kdecoration and plasma-framework [19:04] s/plasma-framework/plasma-workspace/ [19:05] looking [19:09] done === hggdh is now known as hggdh-msft
