Fedora – 26-27 DNF Upgrade Woes, and a Workaround..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on November 15, 2017 by RGNovember 25, 2017

After upgrading four Fedora systems (x86_64) from release 26 to 27, using # dnf system-upgrade download –refresh –releasever=27 –allowerasing –nogpgcheck –best -y, two of these worked OK, but two failed – with a sudden reboot, back to F26 – and no (apparent) error displayed, after # dnf system-upgrade reboot had rebooted the system, and the upgrade process … Continue reading →

ARM64 – Pi3 64-Bit Tribulations.. Too Soon for Stability..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on April 15, 2016 by RGApril 15, 2016

I had ordered a Raspberry Pi 3 back in March in the hope that it would be a useful exercise in 64-bit on a different chipset..    I was (somewhat) disappointed to find that there was no initial 64-bit support, and indeed that I had been a bit of a pioneer in even running armv7 code on my … Continue reading →

Kernel – 4.2.1 – Still Breaks NVIDIA?

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on September 20, 2015 by RGSeptember 20, 2015

Tried the ‘release candidate’ version of Kernel 4.2.1 (via patch, at https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/stable-review), and the GPL_only issue with NVIDIA drivers is still there…      Exactly why we have to wait for Kernel 4.3 for this to be fixed is a mystery, as the simple one-line patch was proposed weeks ago, for 4.2-rc5.. Robert Gadsdon.   September 19, 2015. … Continue reading →

ARM – Odroid U3 test with Kernel.org 4.0-rc3 – Panic..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on March 11, 2015 by RGMarch 11, 2015

As there is no later version of the Odroid-specific 4.0 kernel source available yet, I decided to test with the standard 4.0-rc3 from kernel.org, but the U3 booted – and then Panic‘d.. ……………………….. EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p3): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null) VFS: Mounted root (ext4 filesystem) on device 179:3. devtmpfs: mounted Freeing unused kernel memory: … Continue reading →

NVIDIA – New Driver – Kernel 3.13 Fail..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on February 8, 2014 by RGFebruary 8, 2014

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 →

NVIDIA – Epic Fail?

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on October 23, 2013 by RGOctober 23, 2013

I had assumed that my previous article on ‘auto patching’ was going to be redundant…    However, I discovered to my dismay that even the newly-released NVIDIA driver – 331.17 still fails to compile and install on 3.11 and 3.12 kernels.. It appears that nv-drm.c has been fixed, but not nv-linux.h.   This means that – for both 3.11 … 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 →

Pi USB Saga – An Embarrassing Fail.. – and a Warning!

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on September 1, 2012 by RGSeptember 1, 2012

I had got tired of trying all the so-called ‘recommendations’ for fixing USB hub connectivity on the Raspberry Pi – including some from people who did not actually own one..   And yes, I do have the correct voltage power supply etc. etc… So – I was happy to see that there was -at least – a potential … Continue reading →

VFAT is not LVM/RAID – and a Workaround…

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on August 24, 2012 by RGAugust 24, 2012

Odd problem with kernel 3.6-rc3 on the Dreamplug… I had the usual /etc/fstab entry, with both the ext4 root and vfat boot devices configured, but now – despite LVM / RAID not being enabled in the kernel, the init/systemd process insisted on treating the vfat device as a LVM/RAID device, and failing, and dropping to the ’emergency’ … Continue reading →
