Anyone got the linux-ck 4.7 packages?

axfelix · 2017-01-23 21:45:01

For Haswell, specifically.

I updated 4.7 -> 4.9 and my machine still doesn't seem to like any 4.8+ kernels (bad idle and bad wakeup from sleep), I didn't realize that ck only maintains one kernel point release back. Thanks!

Do you not still have them in your pacman cache?

axfelix · 2017-01-23 22:00:15

Nope -- I'd cleaned it out sometime in the past couple months. My bad

Slithery · 2017-01-23 22:28:34

You can build it yourself, just git clone the linux-ck package from the AUR and checkout the appropriate commit before building (or just download the relevant source files from the AUR web interface).

Yeah, the last version on [repo-ck] is 4.8.17 so you can browse the AUR or repo-ck.com itself to get the old PKGBUILD. I wouldn't wanna run an EOL kernel personally. Does 4.9.5-ARCH from [testing] work? If so, work with CK to see what might be causing the problem (ie figure out that it is the ck patchset and not 4.9.5).

axfelix · 2017-01-23 22:45:01

It's definitely not ck that's the problem, it's the upstream kernel -- I have a Venue 11 Pro tablet/hybrid thing and the ACPI suspend stuff just doesn't behave predictably after 4.7.7. Thanks for the reply, though! I've never actually built a kernel before, so I'll see how much I miss ck vs. the 4.7.6 from the Arch Rollback Machine I reverted to...

I've also noticed that Gnome 3 shows much higher idle CPU usage under 4.9.5-ck (4-6% on average) than it ever did it in the same environment on 4.7.7-ck (consistently 2%), which is a problem for battery life even if I wasn't encountering suspend issues...

@graysky Any chance I can put a few $$$ in your tip jar to get you to rebuild 4.7.8 haswell ck or 4.7.9 haswell ck? I'm having some trouble building locally and I do miss that kernel.

What trouble? Should build for you the same as for me.

axfelix · 2017-01-24 19:53:22

Same as Taijian's comment from linux-ck in the AUR, I think:

>>> I have a question regarding some modules I am missing when I try to compile the kernel locally. These modules also fail to load with the repo-ck 4.8.3 kernel. The 4.7.6 kernel from repo-ck still had them.

Specifically, I have a Dell Inspiron laptop, so I am using i8kutils to get my temp-sensors and my fan to work. According to modprobed-db, this is pulling in the following modules:
- dell_laptop
- dell_smbios
- dell_smm_hwmon
- dell_wmi

However, when trying to build the kernel, these modules are missing/nowhere to be found. Can anybody help point me in the right direction, where I can pull these in from?

graysky · 2017-01-24 22:33:46

Those are out-of-tree modules I think; try the AUR?

Please post the PKGBUILD you are using along with the makepkg command you are running and the output it generates.

Got it working, thanks -- switched to pulling down the source manually from repo-ck.com/bench.htm.

graysky · 2017-01-25 21:40:47

Glad you got the problem solved. I would still recommend that you find a supported kernel for your machine since 4.7.x is EOL'ed upstream. Have you considered linux-ck-lts? I think it's on the 4.4.x branch which is actively maintained. Your best option in my opinion is to work with upstream to see what is wrong with your hardware and 4.9.x. Also, have you tried 4.10-rc5? Try building linux-mainline for the AUR. If that works you just need to wait a little (likely <=4 weeks) for 4.10 to go final or just run the rc builds.
