VMware – Patch for Kernel 5.19-pre..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on June 1, 2022 by RGJune 1, 2022

There is a patchset available for Kernel 5.19-pre, at https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/tree/tmp/workstation-16.2.3-k5.19 I have tested this with the May 29 git version of 5.19-pre, and it compiles and loads/runs OK: …………………… # vmware-modconfig –console –install-all [AppLoader] GLib does not have GSettings support. Stopping vmware (via systemctl): [ OK ] make: Entering directory ‘/tmp/modconfig-11XrFY/vmmon-only’ Using kernel build system. /usr/bin/make -C … Continue reading →

Kernel – 5.5-rc7 – Finally, a Fix for Intel e1000e..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on January 19, 2020 by RGJanuary 19, 2020

Kernel 5.5-rc7 is out, and brief details are here:  http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/2001.2/04928.html This includes e1000e: Revert “e1000e: Make watchdog use delayed work”, and I have tested this, and it appears to have – finally – fixed the problem. Hopefully this will be back-ported to the next release of the 5.4 x kernel..! Robert Gadsdon.   January 20th, 2020. … Continue reading →

NVIDIA – Fix for 418.43 to Work with Kernel 5.1-rc1..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on March 19, 2019 by RGMarch 19, 2019

I have done some more investigation into the NVIDIA compile failures with Kernel 5.1-rc1, and now have a – rather inelegant – solution. I found clues to some of the errors in a post relating to nouveau: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/2/20/50 and the rest were due to content removed from /include/drm/drm_crtc_helper.h in Kernel 5.1-rc1: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.1-rc1/source/include/drm/drm_crtc_helper.h compared to: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.0.3/source/include/drm/drm_crtc_helper.h.  I also … Continue reading →

NVIDIA – Patch Available for 415.18 – Works OK with Kernel 4.20.

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on November 22, 2018 by RGNovember 22, 2018

Thanks to loqs, there is now a viable patch for NVIDIA and Kernel 4.20. I applied the patch to driver 415.18, and tested with Kernel 4.20-rc3, and the driver compiles cleanly, now: ……………………… ld -r -o /home/rgadsdon/kernel/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-415.18-420/kernel/nvidia-modeset/nv-modeset-interface.o /home/rgadsdon/kernel/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-415.18-420/kernel/nvidia-modeset/nvidia-modeset-linux.o Building modules, stage 2.

NVIDIA – Another New Driver – 4.11 Fix Still Needed – May be ‘Fixed’ in Kernel, Soon..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on May 10, 2017 by RGMay 10, 2017

New NVIDIA driver 381.22 has been released, and details are here:  http://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/118524/en-us The 4.11 ‘workaround’ still applies (see http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1970 ). It seems now that the reason the fix was – still – not made by NVIDIA, is that the problem may well be ‘fixed’ in a future Kernel release.. Changes to ‘revert’ the licensing have been proposed, … Continue reading →

ARM64 – Odroid C2 – Tested with Linux Net-Next – Ethernet Still Hangs..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on December 18, 2016 by RGDecember 18, 2016

Recent versions of the Linux net-next tree could not be tested on the C2, as the meson-gx mmc driver was missing, but now it has been added, and I tested the latest version (December 17) – but the Ethernet hang is still there..      To be fair, this is probably because of the current patch conflict that has … Continue reading →
