Pidora – 19 Alpha – Revived?

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on November 11, 2013 by RGNovember 11, 2013

Thanks to a comment from Mace Moneta, I learned that there is an ‘alpha release’ of Pidora 19 now available: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/arm/2013-November/007021.html It was a little odd that no mention of this could be found on the Pidora website or Wiki, but hopefully these will be updated in due course.. Pidora release 19 (Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix) Kernel … Continue reading →

NVIDIA – Finally… Up to Date..!

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on November 6, 2013 by RGNovember 6, 2013

After considerable delays, NVIDIA have finally released up-to-date drivers that support 3.11 and 3.12 kernels, without the need for patches.. I have tested 319.72 and 331.20, and both compile OK, on kernels 3.11 and 3.12.. Hopefully NVIDIA will be able to maintain their Linux driver/kernel compatibility, after this uncharacteristic lapse.. Robert Gadsdon   November 6, 2013. … Continue reading →

NVIDIA – Still Waiting…

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on November 6, 2013 by RGNovember 6, 2013

As NVIDIA still seem to be unable to produce an up-to-date driver, there are a bewildering number of ‘patches’ out for various kernel versions and driver combinations.. I have found a good link to a ‘3.11’ patch for NVIDIA driver 331.17 and kernel 3.12 (patching just nv-linux.h)  here: http://pastebin.com/gxKDqu9N I would normally credit the author, but it … Continue reading →

Pi to 3.12? – Not Quite..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on November 5, 2013 by RGNovember 5, 2013

The 3.12 kernel for the Raspberry Pi has just been released on GitHub, and I tried to update, but hit a problem with the mmc (SD Card) driver: [  OK  ] Reached target Paths. [***   ] A start job is running for dev-mmcblk0p1.device ………………. [ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device dev-mmcblk0p1.device. [DEPEND] Dependency failed for … Continue reading →

DreamPlug to 3.12 – With Patch..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on November 4, 2013 by RGNovember 4, 2013

Just updated the DreamPlug to kernel 3.12, and – as predicted by Adam Baxter in a recent comment – the ‘mdio/ethernet’ patch was not included.. Details of the patch are in an earlier article:  http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=897 With the patch, everything seems to be OK..    I still get occasional ‘hangs’ when running yum/rpm, but that has been a problem … Continue reading →

Kernel 3.12 Released – VMware OK, NVIDIA Still Needs Patch..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on November 4, 2013 by RGNovember 4, 2013

Kernel 3.12 is out, and the same comments apply as for the later -rc versions.. VMware 10.0.1 compiles and runs OK, and NVIDIA 331.17 – with the patch mentioned in previous articles – works. Details of changes are here:  http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1589267 As you will see, this post includes some interesting comments on future kernel releases, and a possible … Continue reading →

DreamPlug – 3.12-rc6 Success..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on October 21, 2013 by RGOctober 21, 2013

After a lot of ‘frantic testing’, and help from the linux-arm-kernel mailing list, I now have 3.12-rc6 running on the DreamPlug, using the new/improved ‘device tree’.. Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow) Kernel 3.12.0-rc6 on an armv5tel (ttyS0) …………………. # uname -a Linux rgdreamplug 3.12.0-rc6 #1 PREEMPT Mon Oct 21 13:29:27 BST 2013 armv5tel armv5tel armv5tel GNU/Linux My … Continue reading →

NVIDIA – Still Waiting….

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on October 16, 2013 by RGOctober 16, 2013

There is still no up-to-date NVIDIA driver for kernel 3.11 or 3.12 support, and the many patch references on the DevZone forum are getting somewhat confusing.. I had previously linked to a thread there which included a link to a suitable patch, but this is a direct link, which is actually on the old NVNews NVIDIA forum, … Continue reading →
