NVIDIA – New ‘Legacy’ Driver – Still Needs Patch

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on January 25, 2014 by RGJanuary 25, 2014

NVIDIA have just released a new version of their ‘legacy’ 304-series driver – 304.119, but it still needs the usual patch for kernel 3.13.. modprobe: ERROR: could not insert ‘nvidia’: Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) make[1]: *** [package-install] Error 1 make: *** [install] Error 2 Hopefully NVIDIA will release really up-to-date drivers soon, … Continue reading →

Kernel 3.13 in Linux VMware Guest – Shared Folders Problem

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on January 25, 2014 by RGJanuary 25, 2014

Setting up a test system for the usb/uvcvideo tests, I have found another kernel 3.13 issue – this time with Linux as a VMware guest.. The shared folders – which work OK with 3.12, do not work with 3.13. Normally shared folders are found under /mnt/hgfs, but with 3.13 the hgfs directory is corrupted in some odd … Continue reading →

Back to 3.12.8..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on January 22, 2014 by RGJanuary 22, 2014

After some problems with uvcvideo / usb under 3.13 producing non-working camera and audio, and producing a ‘tombstone’, I have reverted to 3.12.8 for the time being..    More research is needed, and I have set up a 3.13 ‘guest’ under VMware to conduct further tests, without the ‘kernel taint’ of NVIDIA drivers, etc.. [50677.696508] cannot submit urb … Continue reading →

Kernel 3.13 – What’s New?

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on January 20, 2014 by RGJanuary 20, 2014

The Kernel 3.13 mailing list announcement is – as usual – not very detailed, and in any case only shows changes since the last ‘release candidate’ (-rc8):    http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg572887.html For a much more detailed look at new features, etc., there is a very useful summary here: http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_3.13 And..  More specific architecture/driver change information, here: http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_3.13-DriversArch Robert Gadsdon.   January … Continue reading →

3.13 Final – And a VMware Patch You May Not Need..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on January 20, 2014 by RGJanuary 20, 2014

Installed 3.13 Final on my test system, and then on my main system, and encountered an odd problem with VMware (10.0.1).. On my test system, VMware had been compiling and installing/running OK on all the 3.13-rc versions, and 3.13 Final, but on my main system, vmnet failed to compile: … /tmp/modconfig-I1rVjt/vmnet-only/filter.c:206:1: error: conflicting types for ‘VNetFilterHookFn’  VNetFilterHookFn(unsigned … Continue reading →

NVIDIA: New Drivers – Still need Patch for 3.13..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on January 14, 2014 by RGJanuary 14, 2014

NVIDIA have released driver 319.82, and now 331.38, and they install OK on kernel 3.12, but – unfortunately – still need the patch for kernel 3.13, despite the fact that 3.13 Final is due in about a week from now.. modprobe: ERROR: could not insert ‘nvidia’: Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) make[1]: *** [package-install] … Continue reading →

3.13-rc8 – Waiting for 3.13 Final..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on January 13, 2014 by RGJanuary 13, 2014

3.13-rc8 is out, and 3.13 Final should be out in about a weeks time – or so.. Changes are here:  http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg568052.html Same comments apply for VMware and NVIDIA drivers on x86_64 as for -rc7, and the DreamPlug (armv5tel) still gives the usual batch of mvsdio f1090000.mvsdio: unhandled interrupt status=0x0810 en=0x0100 pio=0 errors on boot, but otherwise runs … Continue reading →
