-cko2 in the AUR

dtw · 2005-07-05 15:09:34

ah - of course - they just added the final writer support so now you need to specify swap or file

phrakture · 2005-07-05 15:31:53

dibble: couldn't you put the binary in the community repo?

Also, I'm dumb about this, but swsup2 only does suspend to disk, correct? swsup will do suspend to ram, and I would need resume= and resume2= ??

dtw · 2005-07-05 16:02:57

dunno about the second bit phrak but re: the first bit - i'd prefer it was voted into [community] fairly, I only want to spend the time maintaining it if people are actually going to use it

CyberTron · 2005-07-05 17:30:46

phrak: swsusp2 shall be ablwe to suspend-to-ram aswell,

look in the /etc/hibernate/hibernate.conf file and (if you have hibernate-scripts installed) change
powerdown method to your liking

makes sense - it's got 12 now!
also, I always figured "if I'm going to maintain this for myself anyway, why not stick it in the community repo anyway"

-=EDIT2=- It's official, I'm denser than concrete. I just opened up alsamixer and played around in there a bit, increasing volumes and enabling stuff, and now sound works too. Somehow the mixer settings got messed up. *le-sigh* Move along people, nothing to see here but a guy who doesn't think things through before posting on forums. -=/EDIT=-

-=EDIT=- Okay, I'm just shortsighted. I missed chmodding a couple directories back to 755, and now I have direct rendering back for users.. but my sound is still borked. -=/EDIT=-

Problem: I just makepkg'd and installed the cko2 kernel, then went ahead and installed ati-drivers from community too.
Now, I don't get any sound output at all, and the ATI drivers only give direct rendering to root.

When I installed the ATI drivers, it make alot of the directories chmod 700 for root - I think I fixed it all, but if anyone could give me a heads up on why this is happening, I'd be quite appreciative.

Btw: /dev/dsp is there, symlinking to /dev/sound/dsp and all permissions are right.
Xorg.0.log shows "Direct rending enabled" and no errors.

Everything was working fine under my own custom compiled kernel.

Cerebral · 2005-07-10 03:36:54

Allrighty, for those of you who were nice enough to completely ignore my last post, I just installed the cko2 kernel and the ati-drivers package and both work *cough* flawlessly!

Way to go guys.

dtw · 2005-07-10 09:30:16

that ati pkg is a bit borked - the permissions on the pkg are wrong! I checked it installed ok but can't test it cos i don't have an ati card!

i might rename the kernel pkg: kernel26community - what do people think of that?

CyberTron · 2005-07-10 09:42:27

yes, it is quite alright if you do that dibble, the only problem I find with that name, is that it doesn't say what kind of kernel it is (except for 2.6)

or do I think wrong here?

iphitus · 2005-07-10 10:01:23

whats wrong with kernel26cko ?

dtw · 2005-07-10 11:00:46

good points, boys - i suppose kernel26cko is better

CyberTron · 2005-07-10 12:15:21

yes my vote is for kernel26cko

dtw · 2005-07-10 12:42:45

it'll mean a whole new entry in the AUR - it'll be considered as a new PKG

OCNubStylee · 2005-07-10 23:07:44

This kernel is not working for me. I successfully made the package as the radeon wiki showed how to do, however when I try to load the kernel it gets to about :: Starting Hotplug Daemon :: and then the startup output gets all messed up. The words go everywhere. I really can't explain what's happening very well, as I have no error message. It's just like the output gets messed up and it freezes.

Anyone have any ideas of what's going wrong?

Also, I have no way to boot into the old kernel from grub. Does this mean I need to reinstall arch?

mmgm · 2005-07-10 23:38:58

OCNubStylee:

No, not at all. Just grab the arch install disc, mount your partition and edit the grub config file to include the old kernel. Easy, nay?

Gullible Jones · 2005-07-10 23:40:42

Hotplug woes, eh, OCNubStylee? Try specifying your modules to load in rc.conf... And post any error messages you get.

OCNubStylee · 2005-07-11 03:02:50

My modules are agpgart fglrx snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss usbcore usblp

I can't tell you any errors because I don't get any. It just freezes at the Hotplug part and the screen gets all out of wack. I wish I could show you a screenshot...

Also, in my /boot/grub/menu.lst I had the original kernel as:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/discs/disc0/part6 ro

and I just added the new one as:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz2612-cko2-swsusp2 root=/dev/discs/disc0/part6 ro

is there anything wrong with the new kernel's line?

edit: here's a picture...sorry about the flash. This happens after the hotplug part, its showing previous output.

Any ideas?

iphitus · 2005-07-11 07:22:56

I get that lots when i mess with my initscripts.

Remove hotplug from your rc.conf. the dirty thing should never have been there.

edit: you're still using devfs too, ick use udev!

mmgm · 2005-07-11 07:40:10

Yeah, an easy fix would be removing hotplug.
If you're really into automatic modprobing, you can try the new lshwd release (only released yesterday), it now contains a startup script so you can just add hwd to the daemons array instead of hotplug. See how that works out for you, it should definitely be faster.

iphitus · 2005-07-11 08:11:01

Aye, z4ziggy the developer of lshwd *hates* hotplug. I share his sentiments, it's slow, and is a bit of a hack job imho.

OCNubStylee · 2005-07-11 09:00:34

Thx, I'll try removing hotplug and see if that works...

Although I have another problem now...I tried recompiling the other kernel, and now both of them are doing the same thing...so now I have no kernel to boot into.

I was wondering if I could boot into the installer and mount the harddrive to /mnt and then go into the /arch/setup program and go straight to the "install kernel" section so I can replace the vmlinuz26 kernel...can I even replace it if it's an old 2.6 kernel and the one on the harddrive is 2.6.12?

Thx
~Chris

mmgm · 2005-07-11 09:09:05

Have no fear, pacman is here!
All you gotta do, I think, is:

mkdir /mnt/Pie
mount /dev/discs/discX/partY /mnt/Pie
chroot /mnt/Pie
pacman -S kernel26

tomk · 2005-07-11 20:27:25

Go ahead with kernel replacement if you want, but as I'm not blinded by hotplug-hatred , can I point out that your screwed-up init messages are the first in the boot sequence i.e. well before the hotplug (or any other) daemon is kicked-off? I think you need to look elsewhere for the cause of your problem.

OCNubStylee · 2005-07-12 00:53:10

Indeed they are, I was confused by that aswell. However on my other kernel it does the same thing at the hotplug part, and the output (the arrangement of the words) is different.

I just realised, I can mount the harddrive and remove hotplug from the init scripts, however how do I add that other package to replace it, is there a pacman on the arch cd?

Edit: Nevermind, both kernels are working now. Thanks for your help everyone! :)

However, even though I installed this new kernel, my ATI drivers are still not loading. Mesa is shown to be loaded instead...:(

dtw · 2005-07-12 07:31:38

the ati-drivers in [community] are borked - i have to rebuiild them
