Software :: Updating Kernel Without Compiling From Source?
Feb 18, 2011
I am running a Fedora 13 x64 . The latest kernel I get is 2.6.34.8 in testing from yumex. However I want to install 2.6.37 How do I do it, without compiling from the source (which I think is beyond my scope at this point). I am more concerned with this because I am planning to get LMDE for my notebook but I came to know that it runs 2.6.32 kernel, so would I be able to update it? There's also the Liquorix kernel that I have read about, with many people saying that its better for daily usage scenarios--is that true, and is there some major difference in code?

In order to configure a dual display in a fresh 11.4 installation, I am attempting to install the nVidia driver according to the instructions in SDB:NVIDIA the hard way - openSUSE. I have not previously compiled or configured a kernel so I largely followed the instructions from OpenSUSE 11.2 - How to compile a Kernel for Newbies.The currently installed kernel is 2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop. The graphics card is an ASUS EN9600GSO (512MB).
In Yast, I installed gcc, make, kernel-devel (v. 2.6.37.1-1.2) and kernel-desktop-devel (v. 2.6.37.1-1.2). Per the "hard way" instructions, I did not install kernel-source.

I have a wifi card that has a generic driver through ubuntu that doesn't give it near the capabilities it has with another driver I found at another website. I compiled this driver myself and installed it, but after an update all effects of that driver seem to be gone.

I use Workrave on Windows to make sure that I walk away from my computer every now and then, but I can't find it in openSUSE's repositories although it is available for Linux.
Then I tried compiling it from source, but I got this error...
pdedecker@linux-s6cn:~/Desktop/workrave-1.9.3> ./autogen.sh **Warning**: I am going to run `configure' with no arguments. If you wish to pass any to it, specify them on the `./autogen.sh' command line.
Running intltoolize...
Running libtoolize...
libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in `.'.
libtoolize: copying file `./ltmain.sh'
[Code].....
Is Workrave incompatible with KDE4? Is openSUSE using a different windowing system?
I'm willing to try similar software packages if they're easier to install.

I'm trying to compile wine from source, with a patch to make it work for Worms Armageddon. I've applied the patch and go to run
Code:
$ ./configure
It then pumps out rows of text and at the end reads:
Code:
configure: WARNING: No OpenGL library found on this system.
OpenGL and Direct3D won't be supported. I went ahead and finished compiling it but it doesn't run worms, so I've come back to this opengl issue.

I'm trying to get an nginx/php-fpm/mysql stack setup on Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS 32 bit version.
I have pretty much got everything going fine, except PHP extensions. For whatever reason when I compile php it is seeming to not compile any extensions with it ?
I am using the following configure flags:
Code:
./configure --prefix=/opt/php5 --with-config-file-path=/opt/php5/etc --with-curl --with-pear --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir --with-png-dir --with-zlib --with-mcrypt --with-mhash --with-mysql --with-mysqli --with-pdo-mysql --with-openssl --with-xmlrpc --with-xsl --with-bz2 --with-gettext --with-fpm-user=www-data --with-fpm-group=www-data --enable-fpm --enable-exif --enable-wddx --enable-zip --enable-bcmath --enable-calendar --code....

So I have compiled from source a libgsf debian package. However when I go to install it dpkg complains that "libgsf depends on libgsf-1" however as you can see if you look on the debian page libgsf-1 is the same source as the ligsf package...
How can I resolve this redundant/recursive issue? For now I have just force installed my package (and it appears to be working) but if I am going to distribute it to other people I need to get this fixed.

I'm trying to install the latest Kmess from source, but when configuring it (it's really a wrapper for cmake) I get the following error: configuring KMess 2.0.6.1
checking build directory
running cmake from /usr/src/kmess-2.0.6.1/build
command: cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
-D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=relwithdebinfo

[Code]...
fix the problems mentioned above, and run ./configure again. For example, make sure you have the KDE 4 devel packages installed.I've done this yesterday on another computer and it worked fine once I had both libgif4 and libgif-dev installed. The problem is that I've got both of those packages installed on this computer and I still get the error.

After finally figuring out how exactly how to compile something from source, I did it with Wine. However, there's a problem, when I'm trying to play a game on Steam (Half-Life) on a TNT2 graphics card (With NVIDIA drivers 71.86 installed as well as all of the packages needed to compile Wine from source), everything either lags or has an error.
One of these errors is that OpenGL32 isn't being initialized after attempting to start the game in that mode. Another error (or I should say problem) is that in Direct3D mode, it just.. crashes lol. Also, in Software mode, it LAGS horribly and I don't think it has to do with the hardware limitations I have on this machine. I did however install the glx and gl drivers AFTER I compiled Wine, do I have to do yet another install?
Debian Lenny 5.0.8
667MHz Celeron Coppermine
NVIDIA TNT2 32mb VRAM card

I'm trying to install the calculator Qalculate from source so I download the tar.gz package for KDE from their official website to my ~/Downloads folder. I unzipped it with
Code: Select all tar xzf qalculate-kde-0.9.7.tar.gz
I moved the exploded folder to my /home/guest/ folder (my user-name is guest), I entered the qalculate-kde-0.9.7 folder and searched for a INSTALL or README file. Here's what the INSTALL file says to do. The INSTALL file says to run the following commands
Code: Select all./configure
Code: Select allmake
Code: Select allmake install
Code: Select allmake clean
After giving the first command, trouble started; here's what I got:

i have using ubuntu 10.10 from past 3 months and about a week before upgraded to 11.04. The upgrade was a successful one and everything was back to normal, was enjoying unity. upgrading disabled most of the ppa's in the source list and later i enabled them and still everything was okay. yesterday suddenly when i clicked on the ubuntu software center it was just showing as if it was still processing the source list but after sometime it started giving me the below error: "E:Type 'rc' is not known on line 3 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/geod-ppa-geod-natty.list"

I recently installed Fedora 13 on my system, and I'm still in the process of setting it up as I like. As the FCEU and snes9x versions on rpmfusion are old (fceultra 0.98, snes without GUI), I wanted to compile my own RPMs Everything went OK, but I found myself having to build the packages several times because of missing LDFLAGS. I got several errors like "symbol X missing, it was found on Y so you may want to add Y to the linker flags", which I fixed by modifying & exporting LDFLAGS.
So, 2 questions:
1.- why are the LDFLAGS missing? How can I avoid having to set them up manually?
2.- There should be a way to avoid re-compiling the source and only run the rpm packaging stuff with the already built things (some option like 'don't build, only package'). how can I do that?
BTW, I can share my (pretty much hacked) .spec files if you are interested

I am running an Hp Pavillion dv6000 with the Broadcom card that never seems to work for Linux. I recently talked with my friend who said he found a way to get it work.following his instructions I opened Synaptic and checked the package bmcwl-kernel-source to be installed.I went through the process of it all and it said it had install successfully. I restarted the computer and when I tried to enter my operating system I got this error "Kernel panic - not syncing : VFS : Unable to mount root fs on unknown - block(8,1)"
I have previous versions of Linux on my computer so I can still get in to those if need be but I don't know how to undo what I did or why it isn't working for that matter. Does anyone have any ideas as to why I am getting this error and how I can fix it?
