unofficial linux-ck repo with cpu optimized packages is ONLINE

fsckd · 2011-08-19 01:41:11

have to wait for the records to propagate, no ping, no whois, and godaddy will let me register repo-ck.net

It's .com and not .net! Do you plan on having .net as well?

Wow, just asked about it yesterday and already here!
Thanks so much!

Short question: How do I have to edit the PKGBUILD to set the optimizations for the i7 package? I saw that you put the Flags in the wiki ("-march=corei7 -mtune=corei7 -O2 -pipe"), but which parameters do I have to change in your PKGBUILD?

Best regards and thank you for your great work!

graysky · 2011-08-19 10:20:10

@fsckd - I just bought the .com as you see. To pay godaddy another $11/year for the .net is insulting

@Lothium - If you're wanting to compile it up yourself from the AUR, you don't need to modify anything. The default PKGBUILD uses march=native (which is what you should be using in your /etc/makepkg.conf) so as long as you're building it on the target platform, it gets auto-detected. I only have to specify it manually for the repo builds because my machine is a core2. Have look at the build script I use if you want more details.

Ahhh good to know! Thank you very much for the information!

Best regards!

Very good sir. Alas, I regret to bring to your attention this misguided fellow who is spreading unfounded rumors that .net is the correct domain. I suggest you attempt to remedy the situation before it gets out hand.

@nXqd - please open a new thread. This thread is only about the repo/packages.

@nXqd
O.k. last warning to you. Keep to the forum rules. Read them, then post.
In this case you violated this one: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … _Hijacking

With the last ck i7-avx, I jump from 10W (stock arch) to 15W on my laptop with the same kernel options and same usage.
I will investigate further another time...

hotweiss · 2011-08-21 16:34:20

I installed the appropriate kernel and edited menu.lst and now my computer won't boot. I get: unable to determine major/minor number of root device.
Any ideas?

Edit: It's working now. Forgot to change vmlinuz-linux to vmlinuz-linux-ck.

@krum - Interesting, from what I've read the CK patchset + BFS is better on power consumption. I will look into this on my laptop and I will start a new thread with the results. Are you getting your power use info from powertop?

EDIT: Please take all discussion about power usage to this thread to help keep discussion in here focused on the repo and its packages, problems, etc.

@hotweiss - a common mistake which I made myself Glad you are up and running.

Thanks for the kernel. With this kernel my notebook is not overheating any more. Hopefully that aspm regression gets fixed soon.

b9anders · 2011-08-23 16:57:14

there is something unclear to me in the wiki:

To enable the BFQ I/O scheduler, direct your kernel to use it on a device-by-device basis. For example, to enable it for /dev/sda simply:
# echo bfq > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
To confirm, simply cat the same file:
# cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
noop deadline cfq [bfq]
Note that doing it this way will not survive a reboot. To make the change automatically at the next system boot:
Place the module in your MODULES array in /etc/rc.conf
Place the echo line in your /etc/rc.local

What is 'the module' I am meant to place in rc.conf?

Also, I just ran

echo bfq > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler

and bizarrely, got

bash: /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler: Permission denied

when I tried running it with sudo. from root, I get:

bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

any advice?

That's because BFQ was not ported to linux-3.0 yet, so it is not available for now. We'll have to wait until the author updates it. I'm subscribed to this topic exactly for that reason.

graysky · 2011-08-27 15:26:57

For grub2 users, Ronald has fixed the compatibility issue with linux-ck and the autogeneration of /boot/grub/grub.cfg in the 1:1.99-5 release of grub2 so update your systems and rebuilt (grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg) and you're all set!

Thanks Ronald!

Bad news, repo-ck.com's ip blocked in China.

You gotta be shitting me? What do the Chinese have against linux kernels? Perhaps it due to a key word on the page (I spell out what BFS stands for in the body).

JokerBoy · 2011-08-28 12:06:36

aren't you using a godaddy ip!? it's rather related to this.

graysky · 2011-08-28 12:16:51

@JB - yeah, it's a godaddy host. The Chinese don't like godaddy?

JokerBoy · 2011-08-28 12:55:54

Or godaddy doesn't like China. You can google "godaddy china".

Not sure what you're asking me to do here... the repo contains these. If you browse to the site, there is an index greeter page that provides links to the files. http://repo-ck.com/
