The recently-released NVIDIA 325.08 driver does not compile with kernel 3.10, and the original ‘3.10 patch’ does not work, either.. There is a modified patch available, at https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/549208/linux/patch-for-325-08-on-linux-3-10/ This applies and compiles OK.. Version 319.32 was released in late June, and this version can be patched for kernel 3.10 using the original patch, and does work.. Robert … Continue reading →
I have all VMware modules running on kernel 3.10 now, and there is a patch for vmblock, which can be found at:http://mysticalzero.blogspot.com/2013/07/vmblock-patch-for-linux-310-vmware.html Thanks to maz-1 for producing this! Robert Gadsdon. July 4, 2013.
Continue reading →Updated the test system to kernel 3.10-rc7, and the patched NVIDIA drivers for 310.51 and 319.23 compile OK, as before. VMware 9.02 – with the vmnet patch – compiles OK, except for vmblock.. I still can’t find a patch for vmblock and kernel 3.10-rcN, but VMware can run without vmblock, so just stop it from trying to … Continue reading →
I have been running a wifi network connection on Fedora 19 – Kernel 3.9.7 – and was somewhat fed up with having to keep track of the byzantine magical interface renaming, each time I plugged the wifi dongle into a different usb port.. So… If you prefer good old wlan0 to wlp0s19f2u4 then read on! The older … Continue reading →
Just installed 3.10-rc3 on the test system, and the latest NVIDIA drivers (310.51, and 319.23 beta) both compile OK with the patch mentioned in the posting on 3.10-rc2 https://rglinuxtech.com/?p=738 The – rather complex – 3.10 patch for vmnet works, but there is still no patch for vmblock, which fails to compile: /tmp/modconfig-J79ptB/vmblock-only/linux/inode.c:49:4: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer … Continue reading →

My swap file boot failure turned out – as I suspected – to be self-inflicted, as I had somehow managed to ‘unselect’ the ”support for paging of anonymous memory (swap)” option under General setup… Once this was corrected, the 3.9.x kernel compiled – and booted – successfully.. Kernel 3.9.3 compiles the latest VMware (9.02) and NVIDIA (310.51 … Continue reading →

Kernel 3.9 is just out, and already the Raspberry Pi version is available, at https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-3.9.y Use the ‘zip’ download (cloud symbol), which will give you the source tree in rpi-3.9.y.zip.. This is good news, as it suggests that the Pi kernel version is now closely tracking the kernel.org code, after previous versions were delayed somewhat (3.8.y was … Continue reading →
Just installed kernel 3.9-rc7 on my test system, and VMware (9.02) and the latest NVIDIA ‘stable’ (310.44) and ‘beta’ (319.12) drivers all compile without problems.. # uname -a Linux rg6830l 3.9.0-rc7 #1 SMP Mon Apr 15 09:40:44 BST 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux One additional piece of information… I am running Fedora 18, but using the ‘official’ … Continue reading →
