I now have my replacement Hudl 7in tablet, and have been trying out the various options for working browsers – with Flash support. On my phone, I found that Chrome worked well, but this tablet always gets the ‘full’ website, rather than the ‘mobile’ version, and so Flash doesn’t work, any more. Even implicitly typing in the … Continue reading →
Just installed Kernel 3.12-rc4 on the test system, and I can confirm – as expected – that it does include the ‘EXPORT_SYMBOL‘ fix, which allows the NVIDIA 3.12 patch to work correctly. Details of changes are here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/10/6/148 Patched NVIDIA drivers 331.13 and 319.60 both compile OK Robert Gadsdon. October 7, 2013

I recently came to extract one, but found to my dismay that the latest (2.4.x) version of dar was unable to do this, and failed with the following error message: “FATAL error, aborting operation Current implementation … Continue reading →
I had been experiencing occasional problems with X and KDE with the previous 3.11 kernel versions, and had reverted to 3.10.12, but have just updated to 3.11.2, and it seems to be better – so far…. VMware 10 compiles and runs OK, and NVIDIA 319.49 – with the 3.11 patch – works OK. I have seen reports … Continue reading →
Thanks to information received from Mace Moneta, I can confirm that the ‘missing files’ problem I experienced with Raspberry Pi GIT downloads was due to the fact that I was using the ‘Download ZIP‘ option, which – it seems – is defective! The solution is to use the # git clone……. command, as follows: # git clone … Continue reading →
Updated the Raspberry Pi to kernel 3.11.1, using the code from GitHub: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-3.11.y For some odd reason, then same files are still missing, as for 3.11 – ~/linux/drivers/net/ethernet/Kconfig and ~/linux/net/mac80211/chan.c, so just copy these across from the 3.10 tree.. # uname -a Linux rgpi 3.11.1-pi #1 PREEMPT Sat Sep 21 11:13:01 BST 2013 armv6l armv6l armv6l GNU/Linux … Continue reading →
Just updated the Raspberry Pi to kernel 3.11, using the source code available (linux-rpi-3.11.y) on GitHub, with a couple of minor hacks.. As seems to often be the case, there were a couple of source/config files missing: drivers/net/ethernet/Kconfig is missing, so.. just copy one from the older 3.10.x tree.. make[2]: *** No rule to make target `net/mac80211/chan.o’, … Continue reading →
There is a patch for NVIDIA driver 325.15 kernel 3.11 support, in the pastebin link in this thread, thanks to Milos_SD: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/549532/linux/linux-3-10-solved-3-11-solved-incompatibility-in-function-lsquo-nv_i2c_del_adapter-rsquo-error/2/ Now compiles cleanly, on kernel 3.11-rc4.. Robert Gadsdon. August 6, 2013.

The device I received in July 2013 died after only 20 minutes, and after a tortuous exchange of emails I managed to get a replacement sent, after I returned the faulty one. This took (literally) months, … Continue reading →
Just updated the Dreamplug to Kernel 3.11-rc3.. Although the device is (relatively) old now, it does have the enormous benefit of being (almost**) fully supported by the mainstream Linux Kernel.. ** The only ‘unsupported’ item is the Libertas wifi in Access Point (UAP) mode, but it is supported in ‘client’ mode…. The original patch to enable AP … Continue reading →
