Ubuntu Installation :: Get Real-time Kernel Support
Jan 20, 2010
I was wondering if there's a way for me to get real-time kernel support on regular Ubuntu 9.10 through some sort of update. I know Ubuntu Studio has a real-time kernel, but I'd prefer not to use it. I'm a fan of the original Ubuntu.
When using make menuconfig - under Device Drivers --> Character Devices --> there should be an option with the label "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support" (CONFIG_JS_RTC).
The problem is that this option seems to only show up while using the menu method when other options are either enabled or disabled and I've entirely forgotten what should be what. I swear fingered it out once.
This is on an older computer (P4) so HPET is no good.
You would think that disabling the HPET option would enable the RTC option but that does not appear to be the case.
I understand I can just add the option to the .config file and avoid this hassle but I'm very interested to know how to make this work.
To show my appreciation I will do something nice for you such as call you a nice name or tell you that you are pretty (or ugly if that's what you prefer).
I'm a very new Linux user, so speak slowly and don't use big words. I installed Karmic from the Live CD. It is the only OS in use on this system. I then upgraded to Ubuntu Studio using the instructions found on the wiki.
On bootup, I get a brief message stating "GRUB loading" and then the system automatically boots to the generic kernel. No GRUB menu is ever displayed. I would like the option to boot to the real-time kernel, but I have no idea how to edit the appropriate files. I've done a fair amount of reading on the subject, but I find very little information relating directly to the real-time kernel, and so I still feel like I'm too green to do it without messing something up.
if I want to use an rt kernel in ubuntu studio, how do i use the kernel? say for instance, Ubuntu studio is installed with generic kernel.then i download the rt kernel.
Just installed a real time kernel on my new computer so I can record music. My problem is that I have no GUI. I noted that I would not when fglrx drivers could not be installed/applied to the new kernel when installing it.
I have the latest release of Lucid Lynx installed. I want to try out audio recording on Linux so I want to know if it's possible to use a real time kernel with Lucid. So I installed the 2.6.31 real time kernel. It shows up in GRUB, but when I boot it gives me the message:
mounting none on /dev failed No such device
It then takes me to the login screen, and once I enter my password it just takes me back to the login.
I want to try out the realtime kernel to get my audio latency down. I have installed the realtime kernel packages according to the Ubuntu Studio preparation documentation here - I have also run sudo update-grubHowever, when I boot up, the realtime kernel option does not show up in grub2. The current kernel I am using is 2.6.31-17, but the only options in grub for it are -386 and -generic.
There is a previous entry of 2.6.31-9-rt which I had attempted to use previously (sometime last year) but if I select it, it doesn't even boot at all.I checked my /boot directory and there is no vmlinuz-2.6.31-17-rt file .... Which I am assuming is why it doesn't show up or add when I run update-grub ... But I am currently at a loss for how to actually get the 2.6.31-17 realtime kernel file and add it to grub2.
what the recommended way to set up real-time (or near real-time) folder synchronization among 2+ servers. I looked a rsync but that doesn't sound real-time and it looks like its something that you might put in a cron once an hour.
I created filesystem XFS on partition hda8 with subvolume real-time on partition hda5: Code: mkfs.xfs -r rtdev=/dev/hda5 /dev/hda8 and i mounted it: Code: mount -t xfs -o rtdev=/dev/hda5 /dev/hda8 /xfs But I don't know how can I use this partition hda5 with subvolume real-time. I don't know how to create directories, copy files to it and another. Thanks for all answers!
EDIT:in manual it is writen: The realtime section is used to store the data of realtime files.These files had an attribute bit set through xfsctl(3) after file creation, before any data was written to the file.
telling me if this behavior of my openSuSE 11.2 installation is normal? I use a 64-Bit openSuSE 11.2 with kernel 2.6.31.x with root partition ext4. After adding and updating from repository kernel:/HEAD/etc to 2.6.34-rc4 I can not boot anymore due to a lack of module ext4. I thought today ext4 is stable and fix built-in in the actual kernel releases, isn't it? The error message at boot time: FATAL: Module ext4 not found. Which is right because in /lib/modules/<kernelversion>/kernel/ there is NO 'fs' subfolder. Isn't the kernel:/HEAD/ repository the official update path to get a newer major kernel? (besides openSuSE's Updates for security reasons) Do you know how I can fix it without self-compiling?
I am hosting two Virtual Servers both running Centos 5.3 on a host machine also running the same OS. The VM software in use is Xen, as supplied with the OS.The host machine's time and date is fine, however both Virtual Servers are running ahead of real time consitantly.Running /etc/init.d/ntpd restart will resolve the issue however one of these is running MailScanner and when the time suddenly goes backwards, sometimes by as much as an hour, it stops working properly.
I used the following command to get the unix time of root user creation:
Code: awk -F":" '$1 == "root" {print $3}' /etc/shadow How can i convert this into the date/time of creation?
I am writing a shell script, which determines the OS installation date among other stuff, and i am assuming the root user's account creation date should be a pretty accurate pointer. Are there reasons why i should not be assuming so?I would be open to other suggestion for getting this date/time, but it would nevertheless be interesting to convert the unix time to "real" time without doing complex manual(or otherwise) computation..
I'm new in UBUNTU and would like to get a real-time antivirus.Maybe it's not necessary, but I still want it (I've got an iMAC and have installed an antivirus... ) So, please... which antivirus is good and in real-time (I mean that, if I try to open an infected file or go to a bad website, it stops it). Is KLAMav good and in Real time?
I'm experimenting with a load balancing setup and have found some pretty good guides, but they all assume that ipvs support is built into the kernel already. e.g. http://www.howtoforge.com/high_avail...apache_cluster
So of course "modprobe ip_vs_dh" simply outputs "FATAL: Module ip_vs_dh not found."
Running qjackctl as root allows me to run the audio in realtime so it seems to be a permissions problem and it seems to me that lubuntu does not read the /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf file when I boot.
I just installed the latest version of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and am wondering if support for my dual AMD processors is built into the generic kernel, or do I need to compile a custom kernel? I have an HP tx2-1025dx touchsmart.
I have a PCI SCSI controller with this chipset that was working fine in 10.04 to drive a Polaroid Sprintscan 35 Plus scanner. Having just run the upgrade to 10.10, the scanner is no longer being seen. If I go into the controller BIOS the scanner is seen there, and running lspci shows the controller as
This script puts a natural number 5 times a second.
3. Then in the second bash window I type (as root):
Code:
The script test2 looks as follows:
Code:
While true; do true; done
During the following 15 seconds test2 is the process with the highest real-time priority. As far as I know the script doesn't perform any system calls so it shouldn't be suspended even for a minimal timeslice. My question is: why the process test1 manages to put a few numbers on the screen before test2 stops. I thought that test2 would exclusivly own the processor for 15 seconds.
I have to write one Shell script where i have to find one word in current generated log.Log name has specific format like 'NAME_DDMMYY_HHMMSS'.log.Each time i have to go and check the word in newly generated log.How can i pass the newly generated log name in my Script?
I am currently using curlftps to mount a directory on a ftp server locally as /backup , I then use rsync to do an incremental backup to this directory every night and a full backup at the weekend.A requirement has arose for a similar set up but one that syncs in real time, so if a user puts a file in a directory it immediately copies that file to my ftp server, in this case it immediately copies it to /backup
I seed a suggesting related asychron io. I'm write a program which use completion ports, but wandor how avoiding loops like for(; below...i.e I want parse proto with count in first and then computing some quantity of pieces. how that make with aio?
I'm trying to find out when QME2572 (Qlogic) card became support by the kernel. We have a RHEL 5.1 system that is moving to new hardware, however the kernel at this release doesn't support the new hardware, due to the Qlogic card change. I tired the Redhat KB and Bugzilla. Is there a Kernel change list etc I can search. Never really played around with the kernel too much so I'm just after some pointers for looking up this information. Offically its not supported until Redhat 5.3, I'm trying trying to research kernel info so I can tell the customer they have to upgrade.
I have had for a test installed Feodora but was so silly checking the box for encryption the HD. Now I tested all for removing Feodora (no data anymore on the disc) but even the test unlocking this from my ubuntu system failed with the following error:Error unlocking device: cryptsetup exited with exit code 251: Command failed: Failed to setup dm-crypt key mapping.Check kernel for support for the aes-xts-plain64 cipher spec and verify that /dev/sdb2 contains at least 508 sectorsI installed some encryption packages in the meantime - but non was helpful.Would some kind person - who understands this better than I - please provide the detailed steps needed to mount and unlock the encrypted Feodora installed hard disc. Maybe one of you know which packege I have to install.
I have a linux router box with ubuntu which routes internet for several people. There is no extra traffic shaping, so everybody can get the whole bandwidth when its free. What I would like to have is a real time traffic counter per ip, just like a program called "iptraf" but on a per-ip basis. Iptraf can only count on a per-connection basis and thus cannot display a bandwidth that a certain ip has taken (because a single ip can start several onnections). So a console program with text interface like iptraf would be perfect - does anybody know about such a program? After some googling I came to the conclusion that such a program does not exist (which must be wrong - i think that per-ip real time traffic flow information is the first thing every router owner would like to know).
I have a log file that I would like to examine during some changes under process that writes to this log. Is there some way to open this file and read in real time changes written to it ?
I've been interested in trying to figure out how to do some real-time transcoding to downsize video files on the fly and play them back on my android phone. I read the Mencoder and vlc documentations and am trying to figure out an open source method and i don't mind setting up an apache server and writing some code to get a web interface.
