unofficial linux-ck repo with cpu optimized packages is ONLINE

graysky · 2013-06-08 12:35:44

Sorry dude, that's been asked before. I don't have a device that uses it so I can't properly test it. You'll have to build it manually... is there a dkms package?

Roberth · 2013-06-08 12:43:45

Oh....:( Yeah I can but I don't like to depend on AUR.

graysky · 2013-06-08 12:47:24

A dkms package should auto rebuild for you. I believe you can modify the one in the AUR to work with the ck kernel very easily.

Roberth · 2013-06-08 14:33:54

Oh thx I will try it out when I have the time:)

BTW, what does the ck patchset add exept BFS and BFQ?

big_bum · 2013-06-17 07:49:59

How about some love for Haswell?

It should have -march=core-avx2 according to phoronix.

I have all the cpu flags from phoronix page by running `cat /proc/cpuinfo` but I don't know why gcc -c -Q -march=native --help=target | grep march gives me an -march=corei7-avx. Maybe there is a bug somewhere?

Anyway, would you consider adding it to the repo or should I build it from source for now?

graysky · 2013-06-17 08:40:22

Sure. I have supported it in the gcc patch for some time now, although never had anyone with the hardware to both verify the gcc flag and to test to corresponding packages. I will add it for x86_64 later today.

big_bum · 2013-06-17 10:52:59

Ok, thank you. I will test and see how it's working.

graysky · 2013-06-17 20:26:06

Just a little nitpicking, haswell doesn't have Core i3.

But anyways, great that you compile optimized packages for so many archtitectures!

Neither did Ivy Bridge in the first round of releases. It will come soon enough.

Roberth · 2013-06-18 03:07:29

Oh, I am so sorry I was not aware of that

big_bum · 2013-06-18 06:29:10

Downloaded, installed, rebooted, working good so far. Thank you!

graysky · 2013-06-18 19:22:35

Cool. Enjoy.

wdirksen · 2013-06-20 13:16:42

Thanks a whole bunch for linux-ck and repo-ck! I've been using them for a year now and lovin' it. The kernels are truly more responsive than ARCH for multimedia frontend machines. I guess thanks to Con Kolivas as well.

MrCode · 2013-06-24 18:13:06

VirtualBox isn't starting for me…maybe it has to do with the modules package not being updated in the repo?

lappy486 ~ $ VBoxManage startvm "Arch Linux Testing Field"
Waiting for VM "Arch Linux Testing Field" to power on...
VBoxManage: error: Failed to load VMMR0.r0 (VERR_SYMBOL_NOT_FOUND)
VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component Console, interface IConsole

EDIT: Indeed, there appears to be a version discrepancy:

virtualbox 4.2.14-1
virtualbox-ck-host-modules-nehalem 4.2.12-4

Yeah, you can thank comcast for this. We have been without internet access, cable TV, and home phone since Saturday. This is the 2nd time in as many years and it is due to the poor quality line they ran from my cable box to my garage. I just now put the cable modem in the garage and connected directly to the line from the box to get the minimum SNR to stay online to and to update the repo. Frankly, I have too many users not to do this. Sorry it took me this long.

http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest shows a paltry 4.2 Mbps down and 2.53 Mbps up. When functionally properly it's 28 down and 7 up -- and again, this is directly connected to the feed line. OK, I'm calming down. Hopefully the fix this in a timely fashion, but as it is I have to wait until Thursday for a tech to come out and I'm not sure he/she will run the new line at that time.

MrCode · 2013-06-25 04:08:12

Hey, no rush here. Everything's working just great now, and thanks again for maintaining this awesome repo!

Ah comcast... oh how I love the connection when it is good, but when you find yourself un shit creek, they might provide a paddle in a week or so... if they make it to the appointment.... in the 12 hour window.

Edit: They have never once agreed to prorate my account for donw service time either.

You probably didn't say the magic word: disconnect. Customer retentions will throw money at you. They are buying the right to continue to bleed you for their unreliable service. Wish I had an alternative. OK, end rant.

WonderWoofy · 2013-06-25 14:23:58

Unfortunately they know I won't do that. My residence has had comcast service consistently for the past 25 years... maybe more. My neighborhood was a test area for cable internet, and we were the first to have it installed. I think they know that I know that there is no real alternative. Stoopid oligopoly...

I've never really had many issues with comcast, they've been the cable provider here since they bought out the old cable co in the mid-90's. When I finally switched from DSL to Cable for internet in 06-07 they ran a new line from the pole to the house and ran new line around the house to the modem and whatnot. Service is always strong here, very very rarely do I encounter a high ping, even during hurricanes lol. But I don't complain considering I pay for 50/10 and get well over it.. Some of that may be because I'm in the home state of Comcast and a few quick hops from pittsburgh.pa.pitt.comcast.net..
I'd more or less demand they run a new copper from the pole.. I usually very politely tell Comcast what they're going to do for me… or what I'd like to see happen, and it generally works, especially if you've gotta ask for a supervisor, lol.. my 50/10 is $29/mo for a year vs the regular 6month promo because of a snafu I got pissy about when I was supposed to get my DOCSIS-3 but they never sent it.. twice... I also somehow managed to get its rental fees waived, and a few discounts as I was charged for 50/10 for a month when my old modem couldnt go above 30mbit…
Demanding might be worth a try, graysky.
…and ask them about any promotional offers… they will nearly always hand them out if they're available, new customer or not. But they wont tell you that they're running a promotion, you always have to ask lol, and when it expires, call and ask if they have any new ones.

hehe

Any idea when the linux-ck kernel is going to reach 3.10-1? The reason I am asking is because normally we get the latest kernel at the same time as Testing but the update has not came through today.

Never mind, I hate to be the one asking for an ETA so I will just wait for linux-ck to patch the 3.10xx tree.

Thanks

OK guys, I just pushed 3.10-ck-1 to the AUR and all related packages. I want to hold off building these for the repo for a few days while I run linux-ck on my own machine looking for obvious show stoppers. Rest assured that the repo will be populated with the new packages. Just want to make sure the old 'reboot freeze' issue is not present in this new release.
