Hello, I am new to the world of submitting and applying kernel patches and have some basic questions about how this all works.
I have read the article:
http://lwn.net/Articles/406978/
Which talks about a patch for PTP hardware clock support. I want to know where the thread is that discusses this patch to ask about further development. I also want to know where I can download the patch itself?
I am experiencing a known bug with OCFS2 and Linux 3.5 and I'm wondering how I can tell if the patch is in a specific Ubuntu kernel or not.
The exact patch is here: https://oss.oracle.com/git/?p=smushran/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=a2118b30...
Its only a mild inconvenience so I don't want to recompile the kernel from scratch (mostly laziness) however I do want to know w
can you anyone tell what the linux patch is? I want to install a real time kernel, so to compile the kernel first I need to add the downloaded real time patch to it :
patch -p1 < patch-rt-version
but what about the kernel's own patch? as I've seen when I download the kernel from kernel.org, the kernels patches are also in the same kernel folder.
I have an approximately 1500 line patch for the Linux kernel - introducing a new file system.
I have lots of problems with posting a patch straight to the kernel mailing list (gmail mangles the patch/it's very long/no easily apparent way to break the patch up except by hand etc)
I don't want to use git format-patch as it generates a long, long series of patches, many of which are junk (eg debug
I just upgraded to OpenSuSE 11.3. Had some issues getting Gnome running, as ATI doesn't yet have official drivers out for 11.3. Finally got that figured out and tried to load up World of Warcraft in Wine, only to have it crash when i tried to login.
I want to download the latest valid release of kernel 2.4.
I look at ftp.kernel.org and here the highest release available is 2.4.31, while searching on others mirrors I found that ther is also higest release, until 2.4.37.9 and on some other site they spoke about a 2.4.37.11 release ( ss.
Hi all. Am running precise/12.04.2 LTS and hoping someone can point me to the correct patch for getting the latest AMD legacy driver 13.1 to work with linux-image-3.5.0-25. Am currently using this driver for my HD4270 but with kernel 3.2. Have tried using the patch from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...27/comments/14 but the patch didn't entirely work and it subsequently failed to compile.
By Greg Kroah-Hartman As A core member of the Linux Kernel team, Greg will show us how to write a kernel patch. This talk will cover the steps necessary to properly compose, describe, and submit a Linux kernel patch. It will cover the basic usage of git, and how that works with the Linux kernel [...]
I've recently applied a one-line patch to drivers/bluetooth/btusb.c in order to enable compatibility with my Bluetooth device. However, whenever I get a kernel upgrade, the patch will be lost until someone backports it (which isn't likely). Is there a way for me to run a script and patch each new kernel upgrade automatically?
Details on how to apply the patch can be found here on Ask Ubuntu.
