NVIDIA – 4.20-rc1 Fix? – More Work Needed..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on November 5, 2018 by RGNovember 5, 2018

I created a combo runtime patch for NVIDIA 410.73 on Kernel 4.20-rc1, by combining the changes identified in my previous article ( see http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=2426 ) with the pm patch (see http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=2421 ). The result ran – eventually – after blanking/refreshing the display, with garbage characters at top/bottom, so all was obviously not OK.. ……………………… [ 121.826292] [drm] … Continue reading →

VMware – 14.0.0 ‘Fail to open Executable’ – More Info..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on October 15, 2017 by RGOctober 15, 2017

When running VMware 14 (14.0.0) from the command line, I noticed the following message: $ vmware Fail to open executable: No such file or directory Further research suggested that this ‘missing’ item was in fact /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libvmware-unity-helper.so/libvmware-unity-helper.so, which is indeed not included with VMware 14.0.0.. I found a copy of this in an old backup, and tried to … Continue reading →

3.8-rc1 and NVIDIA… Earlier Driver Version Compiles OK!

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on December 29, 2012 by RGDecember 29, 2012

After more testing, I discovered that – unusually – the very latest driver (313.09) fails to compile with kernel 3.8-rc1, but an earlier driver – 310.14 – does compile OK! I won’t do too much more testing, as 3.8-rc1 breaks some KDE apps (see Linus’ angry rant on the LKML!).   Hopefully 3.8-rc2 will be out soon.. Robert Gadsdon.   … Continue reading →

3.8-rc1 – Breaks NVIDIA, but VMware OK..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on December 22, 2012 by RGDecember 22, 2012

Just installed kernel 3.8-rc1 on my test system.. VMware 9.0.1 compiles and installs OK, with the 3.7 ‘softlink’ workaround: # ln -s /usr/src/linux-3.8-rc1/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h /usr/src/linux-3.8-rc1/include/linux/version.h But…  NVIDIA (313.09) compile fails, with a lot of errors: ………………../home/rgadsdon/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-313.09/kernel/conftest.h:10:2: error: #error remap_page_range() conftest failed! /home/rgadsdon/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-313.09/kernel/conftest.h:12:2: error: #error vmap() conftest failed! /home/rgadsdon/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-313.09/kernel/conftest.h:28:2: error: #error kmem_cache_create() conftest failed! /home/rgadsdon/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-313.09/kernel/conftest.h:30:2: error: #error on_each_cpu() conftest … Continue reading →

Pi Kernel – Bump to 3.6?

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on October 15, 2012 by RGOctober 15, 2012

Just checked the Raspberry Pi GitHub repository, and there is a ‘3.6.y’ kernel there, now.. https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-3.6.y Will download and see if it compiles and installs, yet..   It might just be a first attempt to patch to 3.6, though… This is – of course – a welcome development, to keep the Pi kernel up-to-date.. … Continue reading →

3.5-rc1 Already..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on June 4, 2012 by RGJune 4, 2012

Linux kernel version 3.4.1 was not out yet, but there is a 3.5-rc1 already.. Compiled and installed, and the existing (patched) VMWare 8.0.3 installs and runs OK, and the latest NVIDIA driver (295.53) installs cleanly.. $ uname -a Linux rglinux 3.5.0-rc1 #1 SMP Mon Jun 4 13:33:33 BST 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Now – to see … Continue reading →
