Repo-ck PKGBUILD archive - Looking for an older version of linux-ck or nvidia-ck to build yourself? Look no further.

Owdie that's cool!
Didn't find the sources for the ck-atom though; did I oversee the 'old' repo?
Would like to benchmark through real cases applications scenarios, and laptop's stuck on linux <4.1 (bug report)

You can read the current I/O scheduler from the /s[url=https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/47509ys 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] 

Output's more usefull than with the `cat /sys/block/[sd[a-z]/queue/scheduler` I used till now. Cool!

@kozaki - No, it is the AUR PKGBUILD stuff. If you want the atom flavor, you need to enable the nconfig and then select it in the CPU options. The "-atom" name is really only applicable to the repo. You can build the "linux-ck" package however you want.

kozaki · 2016-02-07 16:03:39

Thank you for a fast answer.

So,
1 get your linux-ck-<version> sources
2. Edit pkgname to 'linux-ck-atom', '_makenconfig=yes'
3. nconfig: 'intel atom: Y'
and I'll be good, correct?

graysky · 2016-02-07 16:09:15

No, there is no need to change the pkgname. Just enable the makeconfig and manually edit the config as you build the package. The nconfig is a program that is interactive. You will need to navigate to, Processor type and features>Processor family to select the atom.

kozaki · 2016-02-07 17:07:52

Hmm though of that as a way to clearly identify the kernels in the tests logs (e.g. with `uname -rms`). Also when I compile for atom why not calling it atom? Should have added "4. Edit the preset file" to reflect that, and allow for a neat identification of all the kernels in /boot. I do it already as I've got a dual arch Arch install.

nconfig: yeah I know that ha ha thanks Graysky

Hi All,

I am trying to build the older 4.1.6 kernel as it appears my cpu freezes are due to a GPU kernel bug introduced after that kernel ..
However, when I try to build that kernel it fails on a checksum:

Anyone have any ideas? Can I get rid of that patch for now?

I think you can just updpkgsums and accept the new version.

Or you should be able to find the matching file in https://github.com/graysky2/kernel_gcc_patch

nvidia is giving me troubles here only with the -ck packages. -lts kernel and nvidia-lts module work fine.

pacman -Q | grep '\-ck'
linux-ck-core2 4.3.5-1
linux-ck-headers 4.3.5-1
nvidia-304xx-ck-core2 304.131-2
virtualbox-ck-host-modules-core2 5.0.14-2

dmesg -ck: https://gist.github.com/ead17c159bce7717f103
The error is like this:

[   11.757674] nvidia: Unknown symbol mtrr_del (err 0)
[   11.757874] nvidia: Unknown symbol mtrr_add (err 0)

Here is when it works.
dmesg -lts: https://gist.github.com/36c8729a93443968dd47

lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G84 [GeForce 8600 GT] (rev a1)

I'm puzzled by what this error means, can you help me? Any other information you need? Should I install the stock arch kernel and nvidia module for a more relevant comparison?

UPDATE: In the meanwhile I found this thread: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/47092
I'll just follow that, looks like the problem is not -ck relevant.

bmentink, try the makepkg wiki page, it talks about gpg source verification.

Yeah .. well tried that, and did a search-keys on the ones returned in the error, and it came back no data ... so can't do a thing ..
Is there some other key URL that I have to plug into dirmngr.conf ... ?

Graysky, would it be possible for you to downgrade the nvidia-304xx package in the repo to the previous working one until this problem gets fixed?

graysky · 2016-02-08 21:24:05

@SanskritF - nvidia-304xx-utils-304.131-1 is what is currently in [extra] so me downgrading to the anything but that will break updates for folks. Do any of the patches in the flyspray you referenced resolve the issue for you (manually building the module yourself)?

I will manually build it, OK.

UPDATE: What I dont understand is that nvidia-304xx-lts 304.131-2 works perfectly but nvidia-304xx-ck-core2 304.131-2 doesn't. How is that possible?

Does any of the cpu optimized packages work with an AMD A4-5000 ?

$ gcc -c -Q -march=native --help=target | grep march
  -march=                               btver2

In the wiki there is no package mentioned for btver2, will the bobcat (btver1) package work?

graysky · 2016-02-13 20:57:43

@michis - The march=btver2 is in the patch labeled as "AMD Family 16h (Jaguar)" ... give that a try.

michis · 2016-02-13 21:27:26

Thanks. So there is no precompiled package for btver2 in repo-ck, right?
Building linux-ck from AUR, do I need to add (e.g.) 'make menuconfig' somewhere in the PKGBUILD and change the config manually to build for the Jaguar architecture?

EDIT: Ah, ok.

_makenconfig=y

Compiled over night and seems to work. Thanks for your patches and the PKGBUILD.
Any plans to provide jaguar packages in repo-ck ?

eNTi · 2016-02-20 20:40:17

today i've installed 4.3.6-1 and everything went to hell... not sure what happened but it couldn't mount my disks any longer... this has maybe something to do with the 229 systemd upgrade as well? currently running on arch stable kernel.

Tried upgrading today and I'm getting

error: failed retrieving file 'virtualbox-ck-host-modules-k10-5.0.14-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz' from repo-ck.com : The requested URL returned error: 404

Is it really missing or is something off on my end?

i got the same when uninstalling linux-ck and moving to linux-ck-piledriver.
as it looks like the guest and host modules are no longer needed when having virtualbox-host-dkms and guest-dkms installed. it still works here!

Sorry guys, I typed this a few days ago but apparently didn't submit it to the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?ti … did=420396

lucas7_ · 2016-03-17 02:38:44

Hi. I can't seem to enable bfq no matter what I do. When I run "grep . /sys/block/*/queue/scheduler" I get "noop deadline [cfq] bfq" every time.

I tried compiling it with that option enabled, also tried the binaries on repo-ck with elevator=bfq but none of those seem to do anything. I don't get any errors either.

dmesg gives me this:

[ 0.190269] io scheduler noop registered
[ 0.190271] io scheduler deadline registered
[ 0.190314] io scheduler cfq registered
[ 0.190350] io scheduler bfq registered (default)
[ 0.190351] BFQ I/O-scheduler: v7r8
[ 0.570823] BFS CPU scheduler v0.467 by Con Kolivas.

so is it enabled or not? i'm confused.

I am having issues intalling the piledriver kernel, the nvidia package failes due to not being able to find the utilites version it wants.

warning: cannot resolve "nvidia-utils=361.28", a dependency of "nvidia-ck-piledriver"

:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) 

:: nvidia-ck-piledriver: requires nvidia-utils=361.28

If i try to just use the kernel without nvidia ck it failes to load modules and i never reach desktop. Am i doing something wrong?
