is the kernel updated? |
|
I installed the 3.12.11 kernel pet that BarryK posted in his blog. I was expecting to see the kernel version that uname -a reports change from 3.12.6 to 3.12.11, but it didn't. So how can I make sure that after installing the kernel pet QT effectively runs the new kernel? Or is there something else I need to do to enable the new kernel?
EDIT 1 - It appears that this dotpet is intended for the Woof build system, so I need to build a new image. Back to study... [Forum time now 25 May 2014, 02:05]
EDIT 2 - For deployment: need to replace vmlinuz in the first partition of the USB key image file. [Forum time now 25 May 2014, 04:29]
EDIT 3 - Indeed installing this dotpet and copying one file is enough to boot up kernel 3.12.11 - no need to recompile or use woof2. This dotpet overwrites three files and adds a bunch of new files, so first we're going to make backup copies:
# cp /boot/vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz.3.12.6
# cp /etc/modules/modules.builtin /etc/modules/modules.builtin.3.12.6
# cp /etc/modules/modules.order /etc/modules/modules.order.3.12.6
Now go ahead and install the dotpet. Finally, if you installed QT on a USB key, copy the new kernel file to your actual boot partition. Shutdown QT and connect the USB key to another puppy. Assuming that /dev/sdb is your USB key:
# mkdir -p /mnt/sdb1 /mnt/sdb2
# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1
# mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/sdb2
# cp /mnt/usb1/vmlinuz /mnt/usb1/vmlinuz.3.12.6 # backup
# cp /mnt/sdb2/boot/vmlinuz /mnt/sdb1/vmlinuz
Disconnect and reboot QT with this USB key. Check results:
# uname -a # should report 3.12.11
# dmesg | grep -E 'zram|aufs' # should output two lines

Sorry if I'm stating the obvious, but you did reboot before running uname didn't you?

Hi step,
Before you installed the kernel dotpet had you installed the devx-6.0.5-tahr.pet and the kernel_src-3.12.6-patched.sfs?
The kernel dotpet, will I suspect, at least require the tools in the devx. A reboot after installing those and before installing the kernel dotpet might be a good idea.
The kernel source sfs can be found here: http://www.bkhome.org/sources/kernel-3.12.6/

Problem with X installing on Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop |
|
X windows doesn't come up. I installed version 6.1.4. Console video is fine. The laptop has a 32 mb nvidia geforce2 m video in it capable of 1600x1200 (comes up as NV11) but with fewer colors on its LVDS screen.
The odd thing is that the log said that the nouveau module wasn't found.
The reason i was trying this particular distro is because I read a review I really liked, and it has a newer kernel and xorg, which usually is a good thing with this computer.
Any ideas how to get x working?
thanks....

Sorry, I thought this was the Quirky thread because it was the only Quirky thread I found.
X worked fine on tahrpuppy-5.8.0.7, but that came from a link on the tahr puppy thread
Anyway, your answer actually led me to an answer to my question. I'm the release text for the Tahr 6.0.5 it says that the other xorg drivers are not included with quirky, which explains why X windows doesn't work.
Sorry for posting in the wrong thread. I didn't know there was more than one Quirky.

My report on Quirky 6.0 Subject description: Quirky Tahr 6.0.6 |
|
I downloaded the quirky-20140419.tar.gz from ibiblio and used it to produce Quirky
Tahr 6.0.6.
video-info-glx 1.5.3 Thu 5 Jun 2014 on Quirky Tahr 6.0.6 Linux 3.12.11 i686
2.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
oem: Intel(R) Sandybridge/Ivybridge Graphics Chipset Accelerated VGA BIOS
product: Intel(R) Sandybridge/Ivybridge Graphics Controller Hardware Version 0.0
X Server: Xorg Driver: intel
X.Org version: 1.15.1
dimensions: 1920x1080 pixels (507x285 millimeters)
depth of root window: 24 planes
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50GHz
Core 0: @1200 1: @1200 2: @1200 3: @1200 MHz
I'm running it from a sdhc card and it's working but has some of the same
problems as Tahr Puppy.
Lxterminal,htop and Chromium from PPM work fine, Firefox didn't.
The latest VLC 2.1.4 is installed OOTB.
It took approx 5 hours to produce using the Quirky build system, and
I most likely made an error or two.
Pemasu, where are you?
EDIT:
I switched to icewm,added some apps from PPM including xbmc-12.3
Can't get kdegames to work yet

My report on Quirky 6.0 |
|
I built another Quirky 6.0.6 with the Quirky build system, added the
pae kernel from Slacko 5.7 this time (hope that's okay).
video-info-glx 1.5.3 Sun 8 Jun 2014 on Quirky Tahr 6.0.6 Linux 3.10.32 i686
2.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
oem: Intel(R) Sandybridge/Ivybridge Graphics Chipset Accelerated VGA BIOS
product: Intel(R) Sandybridge/Ivybridge Graphics Controller Hardware Version 0.0
X Server: Xorg Driver: intel
X.Org version: 1.15.1
dimensions: 1920x1080 pixels (507x285 millimeters)
depth of root window: 24 planes
The PPM isn't working properly, it gives a "faulty download" error
when it downloads anything.
I've compiled a few things (conky,lxterminal,htop,dillo) plus
installed an icewm pet for wary from the forum.
Apart from the PPM problem this is working well.
EDIT: Installing dpkg_1.17.5ubuntu5.2_i386.deb from packages.ubuntu.net fixed PPM.

Are Quirky and Quirky "Tahr" 64-bit only?
I burned a CD with Quirky "Tahr" and it won't boot. I am assuming I need 64-bit when I have only two 32-bit machines.
Will it work if I put the two 32-bit machines together to make a whole 64-bit? Hee hee.
But seriously, folks, can I run Quirky and Quirky "Tahr" on these machines?

Both are 32 bit releases and run on either 32 or 64 bit hardware.

Thanks.
I wonder why they won't boot?
Maybe something went wrong with the creation of the CD. I dunno. I will keep trying.
