unofficial linux-ck repo with cpu optimized packages is ONLINE

eschwartz · 2015-12-17 21:39:07

http://repo-ck.com/old/ <-- has 4.1.13-1

Or just build it yourself.

@Saren - Sorry, but if you check out the latest stats (http://repo-ck.com/stats.pdf) page 9 shows a table of unique d/l's of the kernel package. Not a whole lot of usage for the older Archs. I have no plans to stop building them, but I don't want to introduce a new one with limited usage.

@Dr. Colossus - The 4.2.x series is officially EOL upstream. I recommend against using it. If the Intel bug you refer to is affecting 4.3.3 then you might wanna bump down to the 4.1.x series which has been granted LTS status and thus receives security fixes. You will have to build it from the AUR or use clf's repo (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=187339).

@graysky,

@clfarron4's repo is apparently only for x86_64 though. And @Dr. Colossus specifically asked for i686.

tl;dr
Build from the AUR. And that makes it easy to add the patch (which is NOT in the 4.3.3 patchset).

Yoo, I heard you called. Basically, I need a new machine for building or learn how to use a virtual server provided by someone else to get builds done. My original estimate was by Christmas, but that's not gonna happen because the tax man is being stupid.

I am open to adding patches to PKGBUILD, but almost no one tells stuff is broken so that never happens.

Hi graysky, just wanted to report on issue with linux-ck and/or nvidia-ck (using broadwell packages). Unscientifically, I'm getting consistent 60fps when playing dota2 using the vanilla testing kernel, but with the -ck setup I frequently dip down to 40 or 50fps. All machine/game settings are the same between kernel boots, and I just tested against some bots (very similar game play). Perhaps this is another regression with the latest tweaks to the -ck patches?

graysky · 2015-12-19 21:03:14

If you qualify your results with "unscientifically" it makes me question the validity of them. Can I request that you google for a video benchmark for linux that is reproducible and that you preform it under both kernel/drivers to verify. Also, please start a new thread since the issue is not really related to the repo. Thanks!

Merry Christmas, I downloaded and installed linux-ck 4.3.3-2 (2015/12/24) for atom and Intel Mobile 945GSE on my Lenovo S12 Ideapad and the graphics worked fine.

The laptop is back to snappy... .. !

Linux package stock is giving some fits with nvidia as well as linux-ck packages. Having to stay back with the linux package or else.

Thanks for replying. I can understand that. However, I have a question to ask, how do I make gcc apply native optimizations in nconfig by default?
Each time there is a new linux-ck package, I have to edit PKGBUILD and set _makenconfig=y, then wait and edit nconfig and apply native optimizations.
What could I do to automate this? I could not find a way. Thanks a lot.

Yes, enable the nconfig and select the Arch you wish to have, save and build. Yes, you can edit the PKGBUILD to automate as well... wait for me to get home and I can recommend.

@keepit - Try now, updated earlier; this can happen when upstream does a major version bump of nvidia-utils and I don't see it until someone pings me to bump the corresponding nvidia package.

Linux lts is the only thing holding nvidia at this time.

Well, seems the nvidia-utils (& nvidia-ck-sandybridge) 361.18-2 breaks X-server, fails to start with little information in the journal or Xorg.0.log... .. .

I don't have any nvidia hardware to test. Can you try going back to 4.3.5-1 and 361.18-1 reboot and see that the module loaded correctly? I'm not seeing anything from the ARCH package history (patches or the like) that need to be added... that said, the ARCH nvidia driver was not build against the 4.3 codebase so it's not a direct comparison.

Hi,

I am trying to down load the atom-ck kernel, without any success.
I am using wget, and although it resumes and finishes the download, I allways get a PGP check error:

error: linux-ck-atom: signature from "graysky (used to sign repo-ck packages) <graysky@archlinux.us>" is unknown trust
:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux-ck-atom-4.3.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).
Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] y
error: linux-ck-atom-headers: signature from "graysky (used to sign repo-ck packages) <graysky@archlinux.us>" is unknown trust

Do you want to delete it? [Y/n]

I have tried 10 times now with the same result ... what do I do?

Scimmia · 2016-02-06 19:58:24

Unknown trust doesn't mean it's corrupt, it means you don't trust the signature.

Well how do I accept it? Because if I say "y" then package is deleted, if I say "n" package does not get installed ..
... and why then does it say "(invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)"

Thanks. Have installed,

What can I run that shows me I am running the correct kernel, is there anyway to check what schedular is in use ?

You can read the current I/O scheduler from the /sys tree (you can also change it for each device):

$ grep . /sys/block/*/queue/scheduler
/sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler:noop deadline cfq [bfq] 
/sys/block/sr0/queue/scheduler:noop deadline cfq [bfq]

Since the CPU scheduler cannot be changed after the kernel is compiled, you should be able to verify with the currently running kernel version and/or the configuration.

$ uname -r
4.3.5-1-ck
$ zgrep SCHED_BFS /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_SCHED_BFS=y

Thanks .. and how do I turn on the bfq shedular? Mine is still on cfq by default ..

EDIT: Ok, found out how.
However, when I do set to bfq and reboot, I find my graphics do not update very often, it is like 2hz instead of 50hz. htop shoes cpu usage normal.
Everything is very laggy ..

Cheers,
