Just updated to NVIDIA driver version 331.49, and it installs and runs OK on Kernel 3.13 (3.13.3) without the need for any patches. It can be made to work for Kernel 3.14, by editing the previous 3.13/3.14 combo patch mentioned in a previous article, and removing everything except the nv-linux.h portion of the patch.

Thanks to invaluable information from Mace Moneta, I have now been able to find the location of the (recent) release of Pidora 20 — now, for some reason, known as ‘Pidora 2014‘.. For details and links, see the comments section at the bottom of my previous article: http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1048 I started the upgrade (from Pidora 19), which took … Continue reading →
Fedora 20 – KDE Desktop on ODROID U3 Found a suitable source tree for (old!) kernel 3.8.13.16: git clone -b odroid-3.8.y –single-branch https://github.com/hardkernel/linux – which compiled on the device itself with no problems – the old-fashioned way (# make zImage, etc..) and installed and ran without problems: Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug) Kernel 3.8.13.16 on an armv7l (ttySAC1) … Continue reading →

As my existing ARM systems are getting a bit ‘old’ – being based on armv5 (DreamPlug) or armv6 (Raspberry Pi) – neither of which is supported by the most recent Fedora release, I have been looking for an armv7-based system for further development and testing.. After some experiences with promising designs that have – sadly – failed … Continue reading →
NVIDIA have just released driver 334.16, but – despite the fact that Kernel 3.13 has been released for some time now – the driver still fails to load correctly, with the same ”Unknown symbol acpi_os_wait_events_complete (err 0)” error.. So, the existing known/good kernel 3.13 patch still applies, except that the section of the patch relating to /uvm/nvidia_uvm_linux.h … Continue reading →

For some time, there have been compatibility issues at compile time between the latest released versions of audacity and ffmpeg, on many systems.. For audacity version 2.0.5, on my systems (Fedora 20) the … Continue reading →
