There is now an interim patch available, for NVIDIA 440.82 and Kernel 5.8, at https://gitlab.com/snippets/1986228 This should be applied as well as the 5.7 patch, and I have tested this with pre-release Kernel 5.8-git version from June 12th, and it works OK.    Note that this is an interim patch, and may be updated once 5.8-rc1 is released.. … Continue reading →

ARM – Original Hikey Updated and Fixed – with Gotchas..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on September 9, 2019 by RGSeptember 9, 2019

After successfully updating and re-configuring the Odroid C2 to use Fedora uefi/grub2 to boot, I decided to try to do the same to the even-older Hikey SOC. This already booted using fastboot with an older version of grub, with manual configuration, but I wanted to use the standard (Fedora) boot process. I had read that there was … Continue reading →

Fedora – F28 Annoyances, and Workarounds..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on June 1, 2018 by RGJune 1, 2018

Running Fedora 28 on the test system, I have encountered the following issues with various applications, and found substitute rpm workarounds..  Usually, these can be installed by downloading them ,and then using # rpm -Uvh……… –force.. Grub-customizer still crashes, but the F27 version works ( grub-customizer-5.0.6-6.fc27.x86_64 ) Wine crashes with some windows apps, and the workaround is … Continue reading →

VMware – Not Working with Fedora 26 – GCC 7, and Workarounds..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on March 12, 2017 by RGJuly 16, 2017

UPDATE:  The vmware runtime fix shown here has not worked since version 12.5.6, and the solution is in a later article:  http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1992 I have recently updated one crash-and-burn system to Fedora 26 (alpha/testing) and have encountered two problems with VMware and the ‘bleeding edge’ version of GCC included.. The first problem sounded very familiar, and it is a … Continue reading →

3.8-rc2 – NVIDIA and VMware…

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on January 3, 2013 by RGJanuary 3, 2013

Just compiled 3.8-rc2 on my test system, and the situation regarding NVIDIA and VMware is similar to -rc1.. For NVIDIA, the two ‘latest’ driver versions – 310.19 and 313.09 – fail to compile, but the earlier version – 310.14 – compiles OK..    Version 310.14 does not compile with kernel 3.7, so it would appear that the changes … Continue reading →

Kernel 3.7-rc2 – Same fixes as for 3.7-rc1..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on October 22, 2012 by RGOctober 22, 2012

Just updated my test system to 3.7-rc2, and the same patches and ‘workarounds’ are needed for NVIDIA (driver 310.14) and VMware (9.0 with 3.5 patch) as mentioned in my earlier post, for -rc1.. # uname -a Linux rg6830l 3.7.0-rc2 #1 SMP Mon Oct 22 01:58:54 BST 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux … Continue reading →
