Slackware :: Kernel Version Downgrade: Rebuild Any Other Packages From Sources?

Mar 23, 2011

I have installed and configured Slackware 13.1 and it works perfectly. Now I'm going (actually forced) to downgrade kernel version down to 2.6.32. Is there any caveats? Do I need rebuild any other packages from sources?

Slackware :: Possible To Downgrade Version Of Python To 2.5?

Oct 26, 2009

This may sound a bit of an awkward question, but I have this app, Salome-Platform, [URL], It requires Python 2.5 at most to be able to run. (Compiling it is way to complex.) Since the Python of Slackware is 2.6, can it be downgraded to 2.5...? If it can, how do I do it...?

Debian Configuration :: Downgrade The Kernel Patch Version?

Aug 31, 2011

When a real kernel version is upgraded, like say 2.6.32 to 2.6.38, the old kernel is left intact and is ready to be used in case of a problem with a new one, but when only a debian patch version is updated, like 2.6.32-30 to 2.6.32-35, the old kernel is replaced with a new one. More then this, aptitude shows that older version is not in repository either, so how do you supposed to revert back? Well, i did found -30 in apt cache when i got hit by a nasty regression in -35 yesterday, but what if i had cleaned apt cache?

Slackware :: X Freezes (xfce) Instantly After Kernel Rebuild?

Dec 16, 2010

New build of Slackware 13.1 x86_64 in Dell E4310 laptop. The stock install works fine barring a few bits of hardware but after recompiling the kernel X loads and immediately freezes, whence I need to soft power down (I cannot switch back to a console). On capturing stderr from the command line, when executing startx I get various warnings including:(polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:2368): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failedCan't really tell if the above is relevant... Sorry I can't dump the lot because the machine isn't on the net yet.

There is nothing errorwise in the Xorg log after a reboot. The very last line relates to a video mode with modeline info etc. I have compiled either into the kernel, or as modules everything I think I need though unfortunately I seem to have to load them all manually, so I hav no idea of I've missed something important. This includes all the Intel drivers i915, drm, intel_agp etc.Googling suggests bugs with polkit and I don't know why gnome has anything to do with my system in any case.Other thing that I find annoying is that xorg.conf no longer exists and I am relying on the HAL daemon, about which I know nothing. It took me ages to find how to change the X keyboard map - very frustrating. How do I confirm which video driver etc.?

Slackware :: After Kernel Rebuild And Using Dracut Input Devices In KDM Don't Work?

Nov 11, 2010

I just implemented dracut on my Slack. It works well, but for this also I had to rebuild the kernel. Everything works as it should beside KDM. When KDM start mouse/keyboard don't work. I check the logs and I don't actually see any errors.Note: Im using Slack in VirtualBox with fbdev or vesa driver and it doesn't work with neither of the drivers. I suppose its something missing in the kernel, but don't know what.Before rebuilding the kernel and implementing dracut, everything work with fbdev and/or vesa

Slackware :: Accidentally Upgraded Kernel-headers - Should Downgrade ?

May 22, 2011

When I first did my install of Slackware 13.37, I installed the 2.6.38.4 kernel from /testing.

I did a "upgradepkg testing/kernel*.t?z"

Well just now I realized that there was a kernel-headers package in /testing, and I've heard that you should only use the kernel headers that glibc was compiled with.

So did I make a mistake installing the kernel-headers from /testing?

And if I revert back to the stock kernel-headers package, will I have to recompile all the programs I've compiled with the 2.6.38.4 headers?

Hardware :: ERROR: Unable To Determine The Version Of The Kernel Sources Located In '/lib/modules/2.6.35

Jan 11, 2011

I have installed Arch Linux quite a few weeks ago; but I'm still trying my best to install the nividia display driver for my graphics card (nVidia Geforce 2 MX 400). Not only in Arch but have tried installing on other distros and still failed. I have read up all the documentations and I still find it hard to do this task. When I used the terminal and executed the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-94.43.01-pkg1.run file without any window manager running, I get this problem:

ERROR: Unable to determine the version of the kernel sources located in '/lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/build'. Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your kernel and that they are properly configured; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the 'kernel-source' or 'kernel-devel' RPM installed. If you know the correct kernel source files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the '--kernel-source-path' command line option.

ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at nvidia.com.

Now I'm using Arch Linux Kernel 2.6.35 and I have got the source. But where am I suppose to put it now? I do not want to change the kernel. I just want the nVidia installer to identify that there is a kernel source so that it can install. I have searched up a lot on websites and ended up with no proper guide.

This is a very old driver. So since now I have the nVidia driver installation package and also the kernel source,

Slackware :: Compiling Kernel Sources To Add Few Options

Apr 18, 2010

I want to compile a kernel to add a few options that are not enabled in the huge-smp-2.6.29.6 that comes with slackware. specifically, i want to add TASK_DELAY_ACCT and TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING so that I can use iotop. I just want to add those 2 options to the new kernel, everything else I'd like to keep the way it is as the system has been running just fine. Will running 'make menuconfig' in /usr/src/linux default to the options that are used in the stock kernel?

Slackware :: Nvidia Driver Package Refuse To Cooperate With Kernel Sources?

Aug 3, 2010

I'm using Slackware 13.0 on rather old PC with old Riva TNT2 video card. Default driver is "nv". Everything work fine, but without hardware 2D acceleration under X.

After studying various manuals I
1. downloaded Nvidia binary package suitable for my video card.
2. Recompile kernel without Riva framebuffer support.
3. Start Nvidia script.

Script said: "Error: unable to find the kernel source tree for the currently running kernel. Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your kernel and that they are properly configured...""

Kernel sources are in /usr/src/linux-2.6.29.6 I have all kernel packages installed. I was trying various switches for script in order to show the right path - nothing! 8 Some people say that Nvidia script don't like 4th digit in a kernel's name and get it from "uname -r" output. Can I change it somehow?

Slackware :: Upgrading 64 Kernel Packages

Jan 23, 2010

Code:

1. Upgrade the kernel and kernel-modules packages normally.

That sounds simple except that day-to-day, I don't run a stock Slackware kernel. I compile and run my own and always have. As I look back on my history with Slackware, I don't think I've ever upgraded kernel packages once I got a system up and running. When there's been big changes (2.4 to 2.6, for example), I've done a full re-install.

Most recently when I made the jump to 64bit, I did a full install using the huge.s kernel and once everything worked, I downloaded the current source from kernel.org and was on my way. I haven't booted huge.s since that day.

I do, of course, know how to upgrade my own custom kernel, but I like having huge.s installed as a backup. If I upgrade gcc/glibc, compile a new custom kernel and update lilo.conf/fstab without upgrading huge.s, then I will be left with only one working kernel.

So, my question is: is it simply a matter of running upgradepkg on the 6 kernel packages (headers, modules, firmware, generic, huge and source)? or is there more to it than that..ie, what about the system maps and symlinks in /boot?

Red Hat :: Cannot Rebuild RPM Packages With Rpmrebuild Because Of Missing Files

Apr 29, 2010

I made a script that, by using "rpmrebuild" (which is available on SourceForge and uses rpmbuild as its backend), recreates all the currently installed RPM packages and stores them in a user-defined directory.

Everything works like a charm, except for a few packages.

Those packages fail to build because some of the files they should contain are missing on the filesystem.

This is an example of the errors I get:

Code:
error: File not found: /etc/identd.key
File not found: /etc/identd.key
/usr/lib/rpmrebuild/rpmrebuild.sh: ERROR: package 'pidentd-3.0.14-5' build failed
error: File not found: /usr/share/ssl/certs/stunnel.pem
File not found: /usr/share/ssl/certs/stunnel.pem
/usr/lib/rpmrebuild/rpmrebuild.sh: ERROR: package 'stunnel-3.26-1.7.3' build failed
Is there a way to ask rpmbuild (because yes, rpmrebuild allows to pass parameters to rpmbuild) to *ignore* the missing files?

All I need to do is downgrade Firefox to 3.5, but I seem to be having some issues, it seems that there is only the one version available to me in Synaptic. Is there another repository that I need to add to have access to an older version?

Software :: X Will Not Fully Start After Kernel Rebuild?

Sep 16, 2010

I rebuilt my kernel with dynamic ticks, high resolution timer support, and hugepagetlb and hugepagetlbfs support. Now X does not load. If I start it as root, xclock shows up and then the screen goes black and I can't do anything. Normally xclock and three xterms show up. If I start it under my normal account, I get a black screen with nothing but a cursor, which moves and has the "busy" pointer. It is not configuration because I booted an old kernel and am using X under that right now.I also set CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME to no. My monitor uses DPMS so maybe that may have done it.
