I am fairly new to Linux and have been striking hassles with my AWUS036H (RTL8187) under Debian Lenny. The standard (built in) driver works but reception is pathetic compared to the same card under Backtrack 4 or even Windows 7. I have tried to build drivers which I got from the Alfa website, the Realtek website and also the Linux Wireless project page. All of them fail during Make with an Error 2. I don't have the error in front of me (had to go back to Windows for the moment) but it is identical to the one this guy gets:
darkReaction:/home/georanson# cd /home/georanson/Desktop/Downloads/ndiswrapper-1.52

I get the error 2 code and the reference to "kernel version".

How do I force recompilation of the kernel .deb packages. After a small change I make to the sources without having to clean the sources and recompile the whole kernel again?
Code: Select all$ fakeroot make -f debian/rules.gen setup_i386_none_686 $ fakeroot make -f debian/rules.gen binary-arch_i386_none_686 binary-indep
Calling the second command again does not recompile the modified code, just recreates the .deb packages.
If I use:
Code: Select all$ make -f debian/rules clean before the build command, then it will recompile everything which takes ages.
How can I force recompilation of the files/objects I changed (and dependencies)?
I use this guide: [URL] .... ('Building only a single kernel variant' section)
My Realtek RTL8187 Wifi fail to connect using WPA security. The authentication window shows up repeatedly every time I try to connect. Please note the password is correct. I searched and haven't found a conclusive solutions as of yet.
I'm fairly new to Linux. I am trying to build and install the drivers for the ASUS USB-N10 wlan usb dongle, using the newest drivers from the Realtek website. I've never used make before on Linux and am running into what are probably some pretty basic problems, but I'm not sure where to look for the answers. I used aptitude to install the "make" and "build-essential" packages. I unpacked the drivers using Archive Manager. I changed to the driver directory and ran "make". It stopped with "No such file or directory." I became superuser and ran make, in case it had permission problems when creating the directory.
Here are the results. obie@four:~/realtek/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.20110401/driver/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.20110401$ make make ARCH=i386 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/build M=/home/obie/realtek/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.20110401/driver/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.20110401 modules make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/build: No such file or directory.

I haven't modified the makefile in any way -- it is the same as what I downloaded. I've read posts from other users who have compiled and installed the drivers on Ubuntu with no problem.

I got a problem with my Slackware installation after upgrading to slackware-current. I made a clean 13.1 install on my laptop, then I logged in as root, connected to the net and upgraded to slackware-current. Then, after rebooting, I try to log in to kde as root but I get this error: Code: kdestartupconfig4 does not exist or fails. The error code is 127. Check your installation. After getting these errors, I made a completely new fresh installation but I got the same errors again.
I even added another user with the adduser command just in case that was the problem but that didn't help. I can't log in to KDE.
Trying to build C source code using Gcc 2.95.2 and Solaris make for the x86 platform. Got the a following error

Is this a gcc compiler problem or due to some missing macros?

I am trying to build abcde from slackbuilds.org and include needed packages like id3. When I went to build it I was unable to download the source from [url] and I get a 404 error in dutch. I was wondering if anyone had this issue or if there was another trusted place to grab the source code? I checked the archives of the slackbuilds-user mailing list to see if the issue is already known, but I didn't see anything.

Apparently, the wireless adapter Realtek 8171 uses the rtl8192se driver, which is currently available only as source from Realtek's website. Is building a driver equal to building a package? Should I follow the same cautions, say these ones?

I just installed Fedora today And man I am impressed, good bye buggy Vista hello Reign. I have the linux driver that came with my adapter software disc. Is that one compatable with core11? If so how do I install it using yum, have been unsucessfull so far. It is for the alfa AWUS036H, RTL8187 chipset.
I am currently working on Debian based Operating System, and my objective is to make a live CD.
I ve followed the specified steps to buid a live CD, and finally I ve made an .iso file too.
Now,I am facing some issues to execute that .iso on Qemu(Virtual Interface),those are:
1. While builing it into an .iso,I skipped the md5sum step, is that mandatory to be built for making a live CD?
And when I am trying to make an MD5SUM using the following command, Its giving me the following error:
Kindly specify me, where exeactly the error in the command for creating the md5sum?
2. While executing the .iso file in Qemu using the following command :
And the I am able to watch the Operating System booting initialization and then when I select the option as "Install as Live CD" Its giving me the following error:
I request who ever reads this thread, please send me some kind of a response.I'll be thankful to them.
I am running Lenny and using VirtualBox OSE 1.6.6. In order to try squeeze I installed it in a VM. I tried to install Guest Additions also, but i get this error:

I tried with 3 versions of the kernel 2.6.32-5-686,2.6.32-5-484,2.6.32-3-686 but I cannot get it to work using any of them. Also I tried to install version 2.6.30-2-686 but I couldn't since synaptic said that it Depends: linux-kbuild-2.6.30 but it is not installable.

I'm trying to compile the D-Link netcard driver from the official source, and when I first ran "make," I got an error that "make" couldn't be found. So I installed "apt-get install make," then make told me that it needed gcc, I installed "apt-get install gcc." Now make says: make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-amd64/build: No such file or directory. Stop. make: *** [LINUX] Error 2 and exits.
I suspect that I need to install some package group which will handle the make and make install (rather than manually trying to fix one hole after another)
I've posted here before (viewtopic.php?f=5&t=66322) about problems arising from my attempts to get an nVidia driver to work with my custom kernel. Now those problems are all fixed, and I'm back to where I was: the built kernel boots fine, but the nVidia driver fails.
The custom kernel is as near to the stock one as I can make it, I'm just trying to find a working build process at present, before trying to build a later-version kernel.
I used sgfxi with "-! 40" to build the nVidia driver for my custom kernel; it reported that everything was fine.
With stock kernel - 2.6.32-5-amd64 ...

When trying to install php5 IÂ got the following result. Tried to apt-get clean, autoclean, remove --purge then reinstall the mentioned packages without any success.
My laptop has a Realtek 8187b usb wireless card. It was working using ndiswrapper and WinXP driver in Debian Sid (32-bits version). I cannot use rtl8187 module because I just can use it beside the access point. With Windows (XP, Seven) I can go to my bedroom and use wireless, with Debian and rtl8187 module I can't. Ndiswrapper solved this problem...
Yesterday I've installed Debian Sid (64-bits version) and ndiswrapper is not working anymore. I've tried a lot of drivers (XP, XP64, Vista, Vista64, Seven, Seven64). XP64 version crashes the computer and I need to reboot to use Debian again. My access point is a D-LINK 2640t.
I have tried installing Vmware-Server 1.0.10 on Fedora Core 12. After installing all packages it fails on building the vmmon module. In the internet i found many patches and vmware-any-any-updates...but nothing worked. My Kernel Vresion is 2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.i686.PAE...
The system is Debian Squeeze/Sid with apt.conf set to Squeeze as the default. Most packages are from Squeeze.
I ran apt-get upgrade and it returned an error-code.
It might be it is this bug: Bug#574153: python-pkg-resources: Missing file leaves it unconfigured
I tried aptitude install -f, to hold it and to remove the package python-pkg-resources, but i am getting told the package would be in a very bad stage, and i should re-install it. That doesn't work.
I was triyng to install Debian on a AMD K6-2. I use debootstrap, and installed Lenny, with a kernel linux-image-2.6.26-2-486.
After that apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and I get:
The following packages will be upgraded:
Since release 150, udev requires that support for the CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED feature is disabled in the running kernel.
Please upgrade your kernel before or while upgrading udev.
AT YOUR OWN RISK, you can force the installation of this version of udev WHICH DOES NOT WORK WITH YOUR RUNNING KERNEL AND WILL BREAK YOUR SYSTEM AT THE NEXT REBOOT by creating the /etc/udev/kernel-upgrade file. There is always a safer way to upgrade, do not try this unless you 0understand what you are doing!

I am trying to build ORBit2 as a dependency for GConf and then google-chrome.
This is a multilib system and I want 32 bit chrome.
Both my 64 bit and compat32 packages are all current as of today per ftp://slackware.mirrors.tds.net/pub/slackware/.
I have edited the Slackbuild as follows:
Code:
The build fails each time with:
Code:
I am using the newest version of ORBit2 as the above indicates, but this is just to see if the newer package would build. The X.X.17 version failed with the same output.
I have run:

I've had no problems building this package with current in a pure 64 bit environment.
I have been trying to build the HP Qlogic Netxen, nx_nic, driver on Ferdora13 kernel 2.6.33 but facing with "missing kernel-devel package" errors. As per the instructions in the driver spec, when i try to do rpm build, i get this error. I tried the rpm build installing kernel-devel-i686 pkg but it only shoots back with
error: Failed build dependencies: kernel-devel-i586 = package is needed by hp-nx_nic-4.0.544-2.src
But when I installed kernel-devel-i586 pkg for kernel 2.6.30 the rpm build continued beyond this error point only to give some other RPM build error atleast to say there was no missing kernel-devel pkg error. Has anybody come across any such error with any other driver? or nx_nic in specific? Does this error mean kernel-devel-i586 a MUST for this driver? As far as I know there is no -i586 pkg for kernel 2.6.33 when i searched in kernel-devel repository! I am not sure, if this forum is right place for posting this question. If not, pls re-direct me to the right one.
