This broke the nvidia driver for the fx 5500

Working perfectly for me, and so is ext4 now :D

I am using kernel 2.6.28-2.3 Updates last nite had the complete kernel 2.6.28-1 Intrepid update. Looking at the posted screenshots, how do I make that go away, as I do not have Intrepid on this machine. I hope I have explained the situation clearly enough I understand it as going backwards to update a kernel I am not using any more:confused:

#8

Dougie, Kernel 2.6.28-1 is only in Jaunty. Intrepid (even with proposed only has 2.6.27-10) as of date.

#9

With each kernel update, I have to reinstall VirtualBox OSE to recompile the modules for it. Is there a way for it to do this automatically?

#10

Understood. But how do I get rid of what my screenshots are saying?

I won't get to use the new kernel until Jaunty :(

#13

Up and running on this Kernel.

Will todays daily build have this Kernel by default?

#14

Slug71 said: Up and running on this Kernel.

Yup... because its a released meta package for this kernel.:D

sudo apt-get install linux will be this kernel....the same on a daily built CD (default).

Can you please stop spamming this group with Intrepid questions !

This group is about Jaunty and development !

Thanks !

#17

anhvu2875 - The 2.6.28-2 is in Jaunty not intrepid. The kernel you have is the latest for intrepid. From your post you are using intrepid.

edit: plun you beat me to the point.

#18

i do not know how to explain this, but I do not have Intrepid on this machine. But looking at the screenshots posted, my Synaptic has the 2 packages marked for upgrade but I get the messege that it can not be done. I would like to make those 'marks' go away as I am using kernel 2.6.28-2.3

#19

have you tried taking the intrepid backports out of your sources.list?

#20

DougieFresh4U Could you look at your sources list to see if you left one of the intrepid repositories in your list when you changed to the jaunty ones. If you left one by accident you may still be getting the list from backports. (I have missed commenting out one in the past and had some problems upgrading.)

Edit: I really have to learn to type faster.

#21

I've been getting the same info--Dougie--I'd run Synaptic & remove the .27 kernel stuff unless you need to run it--that way the problem will go away --I finally got my Ralink 'net card to play nice with .28, so I'm removing all the Intrepid sources & removing all the .27 kernel stuff :D:D:D

ABOUT TIME:popcorn:

#22

Thanks to those that have replied. I am not trying to make drama, but I am confused about the mixed messeges I am getting. i would rather fix than re-install.

DougieFresh4U You have some double entries, but nothing that would cause a problem. Open synatic and see if you have any linux-backport-module-* items installed. If you do, uninstall them and you should be ok.

#24

plun said: Yup... because its a released meta package for this kernel.:D

sudo apt-get install linux will be this kernel....the same on a daily built CD (default).

Thanks plun, Downloaded the daily build to see if it had Ext4 as an option but still nothing :(

#25

Yes--that's all I'm waiting for now--I've got a drive ready to test EXT4 as soon as I can :) ---thanks for the info slug 71----

DougieFresh4U---I had the backports "stuck" in my system--a quick clean-up of my sources & a search with Synaptic got me up to speed again---you should just have the 2.6.28-2-generic meta-package left after you are done :D.

#26

Slug71 said: Thanks plun,

Nope.... still this in Ubuntus kernel config

/boot

CONFIG_EXT4DEV_COMPAT is not set

CONFIG_EXT4_FS=m CONFIG_EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL=y CONFIG_EXT4_FS_SECURITY=y CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR=y

I have built may own 1000Hz kernel with EXT4 support and it works just fine with my EXT4 test partition.

Our devs will probably discuss this during UDS next week....;)

As You May Have Discused, Kernel 2.6.28 Comes With Ext4 Prepackaged, Since It Is No Longer Experimental!

#30

k64 said: As You May Have Discused, Kernel 2.6.28 Comes With Ext4 Prepackaged, Since It Is No Longer Experimental!

Yes but its disabled by default. Therefore you cannot use it at install.

#31

Slug71 said: Yes but its disabled by default. Therefore you cannot use it at install.

Except that this


CONFIG_EXT4_FS=m
CONFIG_EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_EXT4_FS_SECURITY=y
CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR=y 

says that it's built as a module that'll be autoloaded when needed. The fact that the installers don't have the option to format the partition as ext4 is a different matter.

I have choosen a "y" for my vanilla RC7 kernel and my ext4 partition can be mounted.

No way with ub-2....

This is my ext4 setup: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6104260&postcount=59

Works just fine...;)

#33

I've just formatted and mounted an ext4 partition with the stock Jaunty tools and kernel. It works fine.

#34

RAOF said: I've just formatted and mounted an ext4 partition with the stock Jaunty tools and kernel. It works fine.

Ok...I created a new mount point and then my ext4 partition mounts.;)

I cannot see what differs between a vanilla and ub-2....:confused:

fstab was nevertheless without the ext4 partition and what is then mounting a partition with the vanilla kernel .....???

Testing...

#37

Gina said: Well, that's not very clever!! If it's all ready to use, what's the problem, I wonder. :confused:

Well... it can be manually done but we still have this bug from Theodore Tso

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/util-linux/+bug/197311

There is a USD developer blueprint also for this

Basic about Ext4 (Theodore is probably the author also for this)

http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto

Nevertheless I can mount a Ext4 partition, but not "automagic" with a Ubuntu kernel, with a Vanilla its done.....

Hi Everybody,

I am having trouble with the 2.6.28-2 kernel version. I've got jaunty, I've did the update through the update manager (after i tried the apt-get install linux and synapics for reinstall) and after it successfully update the kernel, it doesnt boot up. It hangs up at the Loading hardware driver. After I tried the synaptic reinstall it puts some debug information, but I am not an expert. Any idea? The comp. is az Asus nforce3, Athlon 64 2800+, elsa geforce 6600 gt and a diamond mx400 (canyon3d).

Thanks and regards, David

Thanks and regards, DavidWhen booting, at the kernel select screen edit the GRUB boot line (press e), then edit the first line (e again). Remove quiet and nosplash, and try booting (enter then b). It should give you some more information on where it's hanging.

#40

Thanks, I've managed that it hangs on /sbin/modprobe abnormal exit and after get_netlint_msg invalid event ''. I googled it now the first hit seems like my problem, except it is not with 2.6.28-2 :)

#41

better report the same on launchpad. Atleast there would be a precedence for others then. Somebody or the other might be able to give you some idea as to what might be going wrong.

I'm trying to build a 2.6.28 kernel for my Intrepid system.

I got the 2.6.28-3 source from Jaunty, and followed the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile

The following packages were built:

I tried to install it using:

  • linux-headers-2.6.28-3-generic_2.6.28-3.4_amd64.deb
  • linux-headers-2.6.28-3-server_2.6.28-3.4_amd64.deb
  • linux-image-2.6.28-3-generic_2.6.28-3.4_amd64.deb
  • linux-image-2.6.28-3-server_2.6.28-3.4_amd64.deb
  • linux-image-2.6.28-3-virtual_2.6.28-3.4_amd64.deb
  • linux-libc-dev_2.6.28-3.4_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-2.6.28-3-generic_2.6.28-3.4_amd64.deb \
linux-image-2.6.28-3-generic_2.6.28-3.4_amd64.deb

Did I do something wrong, or is this a bug?

Thanks in advance, Daniel Serodio

I didn't even have to compile them. I just bring them over from jaunty, and install whatever dependencies they need. Works fine by me.

xebian said: No it's not abug. It's always been that way.

So how does this package get built?

#47

xebian said: I didn't even have to compile them. I just bring them over from jaunty, and install whatever dependencies they need. Works fine by me.

I was about to try your suggestion, but I noticed it wants to update libc6 along. That's a rather major update I'm not willing to try.

#48

dserodio said: So how does this package get built?

Same way you built the others.

#49

dserodio said: I was about to try your suggestion, but I noticed it wants to update libc6 along. That's a rather major update I'm not willing to try.

It's not a major update. It's still libc ver 6, release 2.9 instead of 2.8.

Your call.

For me I'd rather keep them in step because I compile kernel modules as well like nvidia drivers.

#50

And 2.6.28 is now the latest stable Kernel.

#51

Slug71, you beat me to it :)

Now to see when our lovely developers take it and give it to us :)

Yup it is....

And a "crazy" message from Linus....):P

It doesn't really matter what day it is, or what holiday (if any) you're

celebrating, because even if you sit at home, alone in your dank basement, without any holidays or friends, I bring you a tiding of great cheer: you can now download Linux-2.6.28, and compile it to your hearts content!

Listen to the cheerful grinding of your harddisk as you reboot into an all-new kernel - and I'm sure that if your computer could smile, it would have a big silly grin on its non-existent face. So as you sit there in your basement, give your computer the holiday cheer too.

In fact, even _if_ you have friends or family, leave them to their endless toil over that christmas ham or turkey, and during the night, when they're asleep, you can give them that magical present of a newly updated computer. When they wake up tomorrow morning, tell them how you saw Santa crawl down the chimney with his USB stick in hand, updating the OS of all good boys and girls.

Ho, ho, ho,

I built them (following Kernel/Compile on Ubuntu docs) by typing``` AUTOBUILD=1 fakeroot debian/rules binary-debs


As I mentioned, this package (linux-headers-2.6.28-3) wasn't built.
