http://www.unix.com – 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. (HowTos)

Hi!

I am running a fresh FC17 install and need to patch and recompile my kernel for RT functionality. The RT patches only comes for some versions (patch-3.4.10-rt18.patch.gz being the latest one).

I tried to follow this guide

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Buildi...Get_the_Source

to get the Fedora kernel source, but it does not explain how to get a specific kernel version.

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 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 developed the patch based on 3.7.8 kernel, as newer version 3.7.9 is out, I had to develop the patch for 3.7.9 as well, but how should I do this quickly?

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.

Patchlist for Ubuntu kernels 9 weeks 4 days ago

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

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.
