I haven't recompiled ny kernel in a while, but whenever I did it, it was all pretty easy. Make menuconfig; (adjust); make && make modules_install, and copy over bzImage in */arch/* and System.map to /boot and stick in new entry into grub menu.lst.However, this time, I must be missing something, because I get kernel panic on booting up to the new kernel. Is there a step I'm missing?Certainly, I was looking in /etc/rc.d and there is a rc.modules<kernelver> script in there. I wondered if I need make a new one ... although when I looked over it, it seem only to be required when forcing particular modules.
I thought I would give some instructions on how I compile my kernels. My long-time windows user parts trader recently asked me how to compile a kernel on Fedora. He was confused with all the tutorials requiring you to build an RPM, so I showed him how I do it, the standard/easy/lazy way. Before I start, here are a couple things I assume. I assume you are a Fedora user and that you are NOT in text mode, but in GNOME. I also assume you realize that this can take up to SIX HOURS on an old Pentium 3 1.3Ghz. Remember that some proprietary drivers as well as some free ones are not included in the kernel, so make sure you don't delete your existing one.
First get the dependencies you need. su -c "yum -y install gcc ncurses-devel"
Next get the kernel source. I use 2.6.33.3 as an example. To download it, click here.Extract it by right-clicking on the file and then choosing extract here. This will take about five minutes. Now open a terminal, become root, and cd to the directory linux-2.6.33.3. It is important to cd here and not to the kernel directory inside of there, even though make has an extra variable that specifies there.
Now we need to configure the kernel before we build it with make O=kernel menuconfig. It will take a couple minutes to set up, then you will be presented with a cheap psuedo-gui in your terminal. Just select exit and yes to save your config. You usually don't need to change anything here.
Ready to compile and install? Remember this can take up to six hours, and your machine may become VERY slow. It is not recommended that you attempt to use your machine with this in progress. OK then. As root, in the same directory, type:
make O=kernel && make O=kernel modules_install install. This will compile the kernel and install the kernel and it's modules. Done? Now change the kernel and initrd in your bootloader to match the new kernel. If you ever want to reuse the same source code folder, use make mrproper to clean things up and build it again.
I'm trying to figure out how pthreads are mapped from the compiler to the Linux kernel. The pthread prototypes are found in a compiler header file (pthread.h), yet the kernel would be responsible for scheduling the threads. So, how does the compiler resolve the pthread symbols at compile time?
I've got a problem installing application into my slack, when I was trying to configure the packages (./configure) in order to install them, the system shows me a message in which there was a problem with using gcc libraries.
I was trying to compile xbmc today, and got the error about the c compiler not being able to create executables. I did a search on the forum, and found something from 2004.None of the suggestions there worked for me. I can compile libraries, because I did a few for dependencies. The last thing I compiled with an executable was BloodFrontier, and it works perfectly.
earlier this morning, i compiled Qtcurve with no issues. but now, when i try to compile Avant Window Navigator, i get a strange error. everything begins to compile, it checks dependencies, begins compiling, and then i get this error:
Code: checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
I am fairly new to Linux. My machine is running Debian 5.0.5 with gcc version 4.3. When I try to install the Nvidia QuadroFX 3450 driver I got from the Nvidia web site I get an error saying: "The compiler used to compile the kernel (gcc 4.1) does not exactly match the current compiler (gcc 4.3)....." Does this mean my gcc version is too new for the driver? if so, how do I roll back to a older version?
When I try to install wxGTK SlackBuilds. I get this error: Code: ./src/aui/auibook.cpp: In member function 'size_t wxAuiNotebook::SetSelection(size_t)': ./src/aui/auibook.cpp:3482: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault Please submit a full bug report with preprocessed source if appropriate. See [URL] for instructions. make: *** [auidll_auibook.o] Error 1 I tried redownloading the wxGTK-3.8.9.tar.gz file and reinstalling it, I get the same error.
I downloaded Go-OpenOffice from SlackBuilds.org, but I can't build it. make terminates with configure error: checking for C compiler default output file name. configure: error: in `/tmp/SBo/ooo-build-3.1.1.5': configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details.
(I can't find config.log anywhere) I use a quite 'light' installation (no xap, ap), and I suspect that I have some unmet dependencies, but the error message provides no information about what software is needed (I've installed all dependencies listed on SlackBuilds.org). I'm using Slackware64-13 with Xfce
i've installed directory server in a fedora 12 box, i got it running and i can access it using coldfusion to manage users and groups.i hit a snag when creating a user, this because coldfusion cannot generate a password, the directory server needs a certificate and a ssl connection.so i started googling for a way to generate and install a certificate on the server itself and in the directory.s is my administration server and directory(it's novabase directory) not the other one.
So for those of you who has built GCC from source would know that you can't install GCC without an existing GCC. So my question is, what would happen if all computers in the world suddenly just died, and all you had was the computer in front of you, and a copy of GCC 4.5. How would you install that?
I ask because I would like to install GCC 4.5 on my old powerbook G4 mac without installing a binary GCC provided by Tiger 10.4 disks. I would like to build GCC from source, without an existing GCC to complicate updating.
I am trying to see whether wget can be used to generate actual url hits on a webpage. This does not look good so far�. I changed the following lines in /etc/wgetrc to:
Code: http_proxy=http : / /<proxy_ip>:<port>/ use_proxy on Output :
2011-01-16 12:26:39 (88,9 KB/s) - `index.html.3' saved [50548] This does NOT generate a hit on the actual web page! It does not seem like the, > /dev/null part is working either... How can I get this to work?
I am in need to create a script that queries how large a partition is and when it hits a certain percentage (say 90%) it will execute another script that tars up certain files (or they could just be part of the same script). I would create a cronjob that runs this script once a day.
I have the script that tars up the files I need, sets permissions, etc. (btw, the files in question are audit logs). I just need the part that runs something like a df -h and takes the use percentage of the /var partition in that query and if that percentage is greater than/ equal to 90%, it kicks off the tar script.
Here is a sniplet of the df -h with just the /var partition shown:
Quote:
So, when the cronjob sees that the Use% is >= 90%, it would kick off the tar script...if not above 90%, it closes.
Some files have a list of hardware errors (we test electronic components), some have none. If the file name has no errors, I still want to display a message like so
Code: grep ^err R*VER && echo "No error" FILEA.TXT:err->USB3910err FILED.TXT:err No Error
This grep statement works but it seemingly overrides the find() statement above if I run both at the same time... How can I combine the two statements to create a report that lists the filename and error(s) like so
Code: FILEA.TXT Button3320err FILEB.TXT USB3235err FILEC.TXT IR Remote2436err FILED.TXT No error
Is it possible to return "No error" with the file name without error?
My script looks really crap and messy, the logic isn't great and I'm not hugely happy with it. Also it echo's $i instead of an actual IP address (line 10). How to improve this. It basically searches through /var/log/messages for multiple FTP hits and when the hit count is higher than a specific number the IP is added to a config file and ftp is restarted. There are some obvious flaws in my script.
if [ $HITNUMB -gt $MAXHITS ]; then for i in $HIGHIP; do echo $i sed -i '78s/$/,$i/' /opt/etc/proftpd.conf /root/ftp restart done else echo "not greater than $MAXHITS" fi
I'm not even sure what will happen if I get multiple responses for my $TOPHITS. It would be cool if it could search for IP's already blacklisted somehow, it might actually be easier to just create a file with a set of blacklisted IP's or something.
I need something to make a script that will search some logs and extract IP hits from one country only. Let's say UK. I guess I need to use GeoIP or some database. I just need a very simple bash, perl, php script that will do this job. Just search threw logs (apache) and then give me number of hits found from UK.
I installed a fresh copy of Slackware 13.1 (stable) on one of my media servers and I am experiencing something strange.... When I power up the machine, I see the kernel booting, no errors, until it gets to the point where it says:
And then randomly freeze there.... Well the machine is not totally frozen because the cursor still blinks. But it will never continue... Like I said, this happens on a random basis... After a reset, it might go through or simply stall at the same spot.
I remember after installing Slack 13.1, I rebooted the machine but forgot to remove the DVD from the player, so the install routine started up, and froze at the same point when it was loading the kernel for the setup programs...
My mobo is a MSI k9N platinum.
I never had this problem before.... (well I never used 13.1 before). Since I got this machine, I used slack 12.2 and slack 13-current with success.
This problem makes the machine extremely unreliable because I intent to use it as a backup and media server, so chances I will WOL the machine and use it remotely... if that happens.
I have one machine where I have several versions installed on different partitions. The base partition (/dev/hda1) is Slack 12.1. On a spare partition (/dev/hdc4) I had installed Slackware64-current. Last week I slackpkg upgraded and installed the 2.6.32.2 kernel, and now that partition will not boot. I know that with the new kernels the hd* designation has been removed, and have already redone that fstab (accessing it from a different boot) to reflect the sd*. Here is the slack64 section of my lilo.conf:
Code: # Linux bootable partition config begins image = /other/spare4/boot/vmlinuz
In OpenSuSE11.2 I followed this url to got it to work: Genius MousePen 8x6 It worked like a charm. In OpenSuSe 11.3 the Xorg stuff is different. In /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d there is a wizardpen.conf but when I use the tablet the mouse hits the top left corner. Using the settings from the url above doesn't make it work either.
I need to execute 20 urls in one shell script and display there responses on the console and write on text file too. consider the case when url is not responding.
I am trying to install Fedora alongside Ubuntu but have run into a bit of a snag. I have the ISO burned to a disc, but it will not load on startup and doesn't have a prompt when the cd loads normally. I have files on the cd, but Ubuntu cannot read them.
i m trying to modify an Ubuntu install CD for a (nearly) hands-off installation experience. I have almost everything working the way that I want except for one thing: Choosing the keyboard.
1) I can boot the CD 2) I am asked, via what looks like a grey GUI menu, which language I want.
Problem #1: I don't know how to bypass this and force the menu to accept "English". 3) I have added my own label to isolinux/txt.cfg for my installation, and it shows up on the install CD menu: "Install NIMBioS Enterprise"; and it's highlighted by default. 4) I press RETURN to begin the installation. Problem #2: For some reason, the installer displays the "Ubuntu installer main menu", with "Configure the keyboard" highlighted. During a regular, unmodified installation the installer automatically goes into the "Configure the Keyboard" without me having to select it from this menu. I'm not sure why this is the case. 5) I press RETURN to select "Configure the keyboard" Problem #3: I am then asked, "Country of origin for the keyboard". No matter what I try as a preseed argument in txt.cfg, I can't make this go away. 6) Press RETURN to accept "USA", and everything else goes on automatic. Here is the contents of my isolinux/txt.cfg file:
it's possible to compile the 2.6.37 kernel patched with the autogroup patch on a Slackware 13.1 system running 2.6.33.4-smp with 2.6.33.4 headers? I just compiled and installed the 2.6.37-autogroup kernel from AUR on my ARCH setup and I like it especially when using firefox with lots of tabs open and other background apps also running. I did notice a speed and smothness difference in my ARCH testing setup with this kernel patch and I can get same results in 13.1??
I'm trying to bring my Slackware system back to life as my XP HDD is dying... I've got everything working except for my audio. I got a new motherboard (ASRock P43DE3) and it has a VIA VT1708S as the onboard audio. Is there any way I can get this working without rebuilding the kernel?
I updated my kernel in slackware current but can't install lilo, when i was with my old kernel it gave an error about not finding the sda drives (they were named hda before the upgrade).I booted into the slackware 13.0 dvd and modified fstab and lilo.conf replacing hda with sda but lilo still gives an error of not finding sda drives.How can i install lilo so i can boot into my sistem??
I'm currently trying to install unRaid on Slackware following this tutorial :[URL].. I'm new to Linux and after many hours, i finally managed to build the new kernel for unRAID (2.6.32.9). But audio on HDMI port doesn't work I tried alsaconf without success. HDMI sound works when i boot into the old kernel.
I would like to recompile my kernel to add few modules to it but I would like to keep my current configuration so as not to have troubles with missing drivers for my hardware and stuff.
When I check for updates in Update Manager, instead of downloading the files,goes through the files very quickly and says "Hit" for every file. If I try to update this information manually by running sudo apt-get update, I get this:
