Kernel – 5.14 is Out. OK with Latest NVIDIA, and Patched VMware. (and… Happy Birthday)

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on August 29, 2021 by RGAugust 29, 2021

Kernel 5.14 has been released, and the release notes include a subtle hint about the 30th anniversary of Linux – which I must confess I had forgotten…   I have only been using it since 1997..   Read it here:  http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/2108.3/05438.html As expected, this is OK with the latest NVIDIA driver 470.63.01, and with the latest (July 2021) patched … Continue reading →

Kernel – 5.6 Released. Still OK with latest patched VMware and NVIDIA.

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on March 29, 2020 by RGMarch 29, 2020

Kernel 5.6 is out, and brief details are here: http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/2003.3/06474.html Compiles OK, but I am getting a spurious ‘cat: /sys/power/resume: No such file or directory‘ message after #make install.   Everything seems to be working as expected, despite this. For those who need it (digital photography/video etc..) ‘exFAT fs support’ is now available, and can be found under … Continue reading →

Dual-Boot – And Now for Something Completely Different..?

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on June 2, 2019 by RGJune 2, 2019

I had previously set up several dual-boot Fedora Linux/Win7 systems, but now had the challenge of doing the same for MacOS as well.. This is absolutely not the place for any discussion on the ramifications of the ‘Hackintosh’ movement, but it will suffice to use that terrible phrase ‘Google is your friend..’.. The Clover/MacOS instance was on … Continue reading →

New Install – Dual-Boot, Serial Console, Intel Ethernet Issues – Fixed..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on February 18, 2019 by RGFebruary 18, 2019

Setting up an old HP8000 desktop small-form-factor system as a crash-and-burn test system, with dual-boot Fedora 29 and Windows 7, on separate drives. First slight gotcha with the Fedora install: The installation utility shows the two disks, the first of which has Windows 7 (sda) and the second – additional – was for the Fedora Linux install … Continue reading →

PA-RISC – Back to the Future (Again..)

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on August 8, 2018 by RGAugust 8, 2018

As part of my quest to test Linux on more obscure/historical hardware, and given that the theme was ‘HP’ after my perilous foray into the world of Linux on IA64, I have now acquired (eBay!) an ‘inexpensive’ PA-RISC system – HP 9000/785 C3700 – after upgrading from an older C3000, and adding some more up-to-date IO cards.. … Continue reading →

VMware – Patch, If You Need Better ‘Meltdown/Spectre’ Protection..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on April 30, 2018 by RGMay 2, 2018

Thanks – again – to Michal Kubeček, who  has pointed out that there is still a vulnerability in some VMware (vmmon) code, that is not mitigated by Kernel/Compiler retpoline fixes, as it is written in assembler..   ( See comment on previous article – http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=2277 ) He has provided an appropriate fix for this, at https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/tree/player-14.1.1 Robert Gadsdon.   … Continue reading →
