I am trying to update ALSA drivers which are built-in in the kernel.
I downloaded the latest ALSA drivers 1.0.23 and tried to compile but came with this error (that is the last part of it)
Code:
*** NO PREDEFINED KERNEL COMPILER IS DETECTED
*** Assuming the same compiler is used with the current system compiler.

Is there a way to remove the ALSA driver from the kernel so I can configure and compile the new ALSA driver ?
I got last night debian 5 stable, but it has an older version of kernel, I think 2.6.26, which doesn't have my network card drivers. I tried to install myself the kernel, but I a newbie in linux, so something failed and I give up until next time. Is this version: [URL] a safer one for a desktop computer, daily usage? How to I know it has the latest kernel?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a custom built 2.6.37 kernel where I have most of my devices compiled into the kernel. The only modules are related to nouveau (in case I want to go back to proprietary nvidia) and sound drivers. Everything seems to be running fine. However, in /proc/acpi, I'm missing a number of entries, such as thermal_zone/, dsdt, etc. I do have ac_adapter/, battery/, button/, event, processor/ and wakeup. I've gone through what I think is a very detailed review of my kernel config, and I can't find where I've missed something ACPI related. Here is my kernel config with the ACPI section.

I read over the X11 acceleration in this forum but I'm not having issues with acceleration - running slackware 13 with built in ATI AGP stuff in kernel. Glxgears is putting out what I would expect for a 9600 pro (2500 FPS in the little window). I haven't needed you guys for a very long time but I just formatted Ubuntu (was getting on my nerves) and installed slack 12 on my hp netbook and 13 on my old desktop without a hitch - except this
I NEED BIG DESKTOP! I've searched, I've read, I've wondered! What's the normal setup in xorg.conf for bigdesktop WITHOUT the ATI driver (I ran the driver after building a custom kernel and the installer crashed with "Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version" - I think I should of renamed my kernel path and setup differently or something)? Is BigDesktop ONLY supported with the driver? I know now that the driver wont work for my system - How do I enable bigdesktop with the open source driver I built in?
Is there a way to programmatically determine whether a particular driver support is built-in rather than a loadable module? I'd be grateful if somebody would share how. I have written a shell script using the RTC (real time clock). I can check whether the rtc-cmos kernel module exists and load the module accordingly as needed, but I don't know how to determine when the driver is built-in. Of course, if the driver is built-in then the module does not exist.
I seem to recall there is a method to query the kernel config file (/proc/config.gz), through which I probably could grep for the CONFIG_RTC_DRV_CMOS parameter. I also can check whether /proc/driver/rtc exists. If that file exists then either the driver is built-in or the module was loaded.I realize the rtc-cmos driver is built-in with the standard Debian kernel build, but I still would like a way to query where the driver is supported.Is there a straightforward or direct method to query the kernel whether a particular driver is built-in?
Squeeze-beta was my first foray into Debian, and I love it. I changed my setup to a rolling setup with testing (Wheezy), and have done that for several months. Lately, I got a new kernel, but it reboots to a terminal rather than GUI (I'm a simple laptop user). I think it's because of the NVIDIA drivers, and here is what I've tried (meanwhile, I'm using the previous kernel):
# apt-get install module-assistant nvidia-kernel-common
# m-a auto-install nvidia-kernel${VERSION}-source
A blue screen appears that says:
module-assistant error message Bad luck, the kernel headers for the target kernel version could not be found and you did not specify other valid kernel headers to use.
You can try:
module-assistant prepare
or
apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.38-2-amd64
I have done both, rebooted, and I still get the blue screen. I also see this message:
nvidia-kernel-source was not built successfully, see:
/var/cache/modass/nvidia-kernel-source*buildlog*
...and I have copy/pasted the file below (which omits lines 101-200 because this message is too long then):

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.

after upgrading to make 3.82, I can not compile the newest kernel: 2.6.35-rc6-git5,it failed with:
GEN /home/aaa/tools/kernel/output/35/Makefile

Maybe 3.82 has some backward-incompatibility that breaks kernel compilation.

I recently got an SSD and want to switch to using the noop IO scheduler permanently. I understand how to change the scheduler at runtime, but where can I put the command to make it apply on bootup?
I know you can pass "elevator=noop" to the kernel, but that sets all the drives to that scheduler, which I don't want as I still have ye olde spinning drives too - I just want a single drive set to noop..
I'm guessing there's an init script somewhere which is ideal for this, but I've no clue which!
I have seen tutorials all over the web on how to use this, but I can't find the Task Scheduler anywhere on my system. I'm using 9.10.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
When I try to schedule a task with kcron, It doesnt work. I installed it with sudo apt-get install kcron. Now it appears in advanced system settings.If I test the task with the run now button the task works correctly. However, when the set time arrives, the task is not performed automatically. I have tried both the personal user cron and the system cron.
By the way, when I try sudo service crond restart, It says service not recognized and when I use sudo contab -e, the file is empty. It should have something since I added an entry in the system's cron in the kde schedule manager.
I recently loaded ubuntu 10.04 on an older laptop to get a feel for using a GUI version. I would like to setup a recurring job schedule to start sound recorder or Audacity. I would prefer it was from a graphical user interface but would do it with a cron if I could get started.

Here is whats happening. I have speed scheduler set to pause my seeds during the day. sometimes when it pauses a finished torrent the status of the torrent will be stuck on "stopping". When it does this my bandwidth up and down drop to 0 and I cannot download new torrents. I cannot removed the "stopping" torrent or even restart it. Vuze just kind of locks up. I have to kill the java process and restart Vuse before I can get it working again.
I'm running the latest version of Vuze and the speed scheduler plugin on Ubuntu 10.04.
I'm trying to run a command with the 'at' scheduler in Linux Mint 9. It's basically a ssh connection to my Smoothwall firewall to tell it to shut down, but that part isn't really important. The problem I have is that I can't get the 'at' schedule command to do much. I can type commands into the terminal and they work perfectly. If I enter exactly the same command into 'at' nothing happens.
For example, I can type 'plink -load smoothwall' into a terminal and a new ssh terminal comes up asking for my password to make an ssh connection. If I create an 'at' job with the same command, ie:
Code:
$ at now + 5 minutes
at> plink -load smoothwall
at> <Ctrl-d>
$
then nothing at all happens when the 5 minutes are up. I've checked that the job exists by doing an 'atq' command. Obviously there's something about 'at' that I don't understand. I've googled, I've looked in this forum and I've looked in a copy of 'The Linux Bible 2010' all without success. I've tried various alternative ways of entering the command for a couple of hours and I'm still stuck.

I have made a vb6 porgram, it is running without any error in windows platform. However, i want it to be run at Fedora too. I run my program with Wine Windows Program Loader in a Linux pc, but the program stuck with an error message:
Run-time error '429':
ActiveX component can't create object
I thought it was the error message because of missing some dll/reference files, so I tried to copy all those related .dll & .ocx file into my wine file. (Just copy and paste into the system32 of wine, no regsvr32 statement to register the .dll as what we always do in Windows.) However, all my efforts are in vain. I not sure what is the cause of this error.

Following VMware recommendations on how to change linux I/O scheduler for guests, I'm trying to do it on my VM machine running Debian Wheezy. At the moment I'm running kernel backports:
Code: Select all$ uname -a
Linux brutus2 3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u3~bpo70+1 (2016-01-19) x86_64 GNU/Linux
The default I/O scheduler at the moment for device /dev/sda is CFQ, and I can change it on the fly to NOOP:
Code: Select all$ cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
noop deadline [cfq]
$ echo noop > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
$ cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
[noop] deadline cfq

I need a download manager software with scheduler and auto-shutdown ability for linux. I google it and found many of them, but all of theme can auto-shutdown after all download finished!I need something like Free Download Manager (FDM) in windows that schedules auto-shutdown at a specific time and date!Now I'm using cron. but I want the download manager do this for me.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently read about "at" and thought it was neat, so I wanted to try it out. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to do what it's supposed to. I would type: at now + 1 min
Then in the prompt I would type:
echo hello
zenity --info --text="HELLO"
<Ctrl+D>
I confirm the job is entered with "atq" and sure enough, the job is there, for the correct time. When the time comes around, nothing happens, and the job disappears. I don't see any text in the console, nor do I see a zenity infobox pop up.
as we all know Process Scheduler does Process scheduling and its a process as well. I was just wondering that if this happens then the Process "Process Scheduler" should be a part of Process queue as well.
So if there are 5 process are there in Process queue & process scheduler is administrating them then since its also a process, once it puts a process under RUN state it should itself go inside queue because at one instant only one process can get executed on a processor. This is quite confusing for me. Please help me out. I tried to search on this but could not find any relevant topics.
I the Linux kernel 2.6.32, The CFQ scheduler has been changed as you probably know. They insert the 'low_latency" mode in it.I read that this option, actually limits the affect of the dirty data write from the buffer cache while the system doing sync IO.
From url:
Quote:
"the amount of async writeback sent to the device will be limited by the time since that last sync IO." "limiting the damage that the async IO can do while sync IO is also happening"
I also read that this option is not recommended to Database server.As I know, DB writes his DB files with O_DIRECT and won't write to the Filesustem buffer cache.SO this option don't need do bother him.
i'm using this guide videos - howto: debian linux kernel compilation, part 1 and the author says i need kernel 2.6.26 this version of kernel doesnt longer exist in kernel.org website and the only 2.6.26 i found is a patch here. should i use the patch? or download another version of kernel?
