just a remark: sometimes I feel that the forum moderators a just too rigid or all about the rules and not about the people. I wish that the ambiance on the forums to be more user-friendly if that is possible; not so much acid, but more kind and helpful.
PS: sorry for the off-topic and I want to say that I appreciate what the moderators (and everyone who contribute to arch in a way) are doing.
You also have to understand that we are responsible for keeping the forums legible. I was merely pointing out the fact that 2.6.38 was not even in the testing repo. and testing is meant for people who actually use the repo and report any bugs/issues with any packages. It is NOT a discussion forum. That needs to be under GNU/Linux Discussion forum.
What would you say if I were to create a thread for a yet to be released kernel version as a place holder? lets say 3.0.0. It just doesn't make sense.

Manadatory SP stack and which kernel version for source Release 4.6c

Hello!
I have the following questions:
- Which support package stack and which kernel version are mandatory for Source Release 4.6?
- Has the SAP Business connector still any supports?
And some additional question regardind connection Lotus Notes with ERP 2005:
- What is the procedure to connect Lotus Notes and ERP 2005 (Do we need RFC-connects or RFC/BAPI?)
Can anyone help out or recommend how to proceed?
Thank you!
Regards
Axel

First I would like to recommend getting a good basis consultant to do that whole process. If you have never done such kind of big technical upgrade/conversion before it can become a totally frustrating experience.
> Do you all do Unicode Conversion first before going for upgrade process ?
4.6c is not available as Unicode. During the PREPARE programs/transactions will be imported to the 4.6c system where you have to run all the preprocessing step mentioned in the Unicode conversion guide. After that is finished, the system is upgraded and immediately after the exported and to be imported as a Unicode system.
Anyone have experience in doing CUUC to EHP4 under single upgrade ? My colleagues have upgraded 4.6C -> ERP 6.0 for EHP 1 only and we want to perform EHP4 and Unicode Conversion under single project. Appreciate anyone advice on this.
There are many many things to look after, too much to list here in a forum. As suggested I'd consider getting a basis consultant with experience in that area.

Kernel 2.6.20 released !

That's good news !
http://kernel.org
Can't wait for the arch package to update.

Hey tpowa!
yesterday a new patch was released for bcm43xx! it fixes the txpower bug for 4311 & 4312! This means no more ndiswrapper for any bcm4311 & 4312 users! If you recompile the kernel please do add this patch also.
larry from bcm43xx-dev:
The patch below will only affect cards with PHY revision 8, which I think are only BCM4311 and
BCM4312. At least those are the only ones in the database.

SAP 700 Kernel compability with 640 Release

Hello Gurus,
We have our SAP system with 640 Release and due to some reason we want to upgrade our kernel to 700.
Is this possible to upgrade only SAP kernel to 700 without upgrading the SAP Release?
Thanks in advance..
Manoj

We have our SAP system with 640 Release and due to some reason we want to upgrade our kernel to 700
What would that reason be?... Theres a 640_EXT extended kernel that may cover that (if you tell us what it is?)
Is this possible to upgrade only SAP kernel to 700 without upgrading the SAP Release?
If you are using Release 640 you must likely are running a 4.7 system.... You can't run a 700 kernel in a 4.X system you'll need to upgrade first.

Juan

Trouble installing ZFS in archlinux kernel 3.6.3-1-ARCH

@modular, You're trying to build with the 3.6.2 kernel. The current version (rc11) does not work with the 3.6.2 kernel. If you want to use it, you will have to downgrade to the 3.5.6 kernel (linux and linux-headers). https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Downgrading_Packages
Thanks!
Comment by: MilanKnizek on Wed, 24 Oct 2012 08:07:19 +0000
@demizer: there still seemed to be a problem during upgrading - zfs/spl requires kernel of certain version (hard-coded) and this blocks the upgrade (the old installed zfs/spl requires the old kernel and kernel can't be upgraded w/o breaking dependency of zfs/spl and therefore build of the new zfs/spl fails, too).
So far, I have had to remove zpl/spl, upgrade kernel, rebuild + install spl/zfs and manually run depmod against the new kernel (i.e. the postinst: depmod -a does not work until next reboot) and only then reboot to load the new kernel zfs modules successfully.
That is quite clumsy and error-prone - I hope it will be resolved via DMKS.

All, if you're suffering zfs kernel upgrade pain fatigue, seriously consider going with the LTS (long term support) kernel. I just successfully built zfs on a system that I switched to the linux-lts 3.0.48-1. All you have to do is install the linux-lts and linux-lts-headers packages, reboot to the lts kernel, and change any instances of depends= or makedepends= lines in the package build file like so:
Before:
depends=('linux=3.5' "spl=${pkgver}" "zfs-utils=${pkgver}")
makedepends=('linux-headers=3.5')
After:
depends=('linux-lts=3.0' "spl=${pkgver}" "zfs-utils=${pkgver}")
makedepends=('linux-lts-headers=3.0')
Then build and install each package in this order: spl-utils,spl,zfs-utils,zfs.
Worked like a champ for me.
Comment by: stoone on Mon, 29 Oct 2012 12:09:29 +0000
If you keep the linux, and linux-headers packages while using the LTS you don't need to modify the PKGBUILDs. Because the checks will pass but it will build the packages to your current runnning kernel.
Comment by: demizer on Mon, 29 Oct 2012 15:56:27 +0000
Hey everybody, just a quick update. The new build tool I have been working on is now in master, https://github.com/demizer/aur-zfs. With it you can build and package two different groups of packages one for aur and one for split. Again, building the split packages is more efficient. I still have a lot of work to be done, but it is progressing. I will be adding git, dkms, and lts packages after I setup my repo. My next step is to add unofficial repository support to my build tool so I can easily setup a repo with precompiled binaries. I will be hosting the repo on my website at http://demizerone.com/archzfs. Initially it will only be for 64bit code since the ZOL FAQ states that ZOL is very unstable with 32bit code due to memory management differences in Solaris and Linux. I will notify you all in the future when that is ready to go.
@MilanKnizek, Yes updating is a pain. ZFS itself is hard-coded to linux versions at build time. The ZFS build tool puts the modules in "/usr/lib/modules/3.5.6-1-ARCH/addon/zfs/", and this the primary reason it has to be rebuilt each upgrade, even minor point releases. Nvidia for example puts their module in "/usr/lib/modules/extramodules-3.5-ARCH/", so minor point releases are still good and the nvidia package doesn't need to be re-installed. A possible reason for ZOL to be hard-coded like this because ZOL is still technically very beta code.
I do have a question for the community, does anyone use ZFS on a 32bit system?
Thanks!

Comment by: mikers on Mon, 15 Oct 2012 23:34:17 +0000
rc11 doesn't support Linux 3.6; there are some patches on GitHub that might apply against it (I've not done it myself), see:
https://github.com/zfsonlinux/spl/pull/179
https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/pull/1039
Otherwise downgrade to Linux 3.5.x or linux-lts and wait for rc12.

@demizer: 3.6 support is available in the master builds, which are stable but not officially released yet. Can't the build be updated to use the master tars?

@vroomanj, I plan on working on the git packages this weekend. All I have to figure out if it is going to be based on an actual git clone or if its just going to be the download links you provided. They are pretty much the same, but i'm not really clear what the Arch Package Guidelines say about this yet. Also, I don't think the current packages in AUR now should be based off of git master. They should be based off of the ZOL stable releases (rc10, rc11, ...). That's why I am making git packages so people can use them if they want to upgrade to the latest kernel and the stable release hasn't been made yet. As is the case currently.

Help needed applying OSS note 981295 in SAP ECC 5.0 with SAP Kernel 640_REL

Hi Experts,
Our functional team is trying to implement a kind of workflow through a notification via SAP Inbox (transaction code SBWP) after the release of a Purchase Order (Transaction code ME29), this is every time when a purchase order is released through transaction code ME29, a notification will be sent to the SAP Inbox (transaction code SBWP). So according to this they told me to implement OSS note 981295, but using transaction SNOTE I get the message that this note can't be implemented in my system this because my SAP Kernel version is the release 6.40 and the needed SAP Kernel for this note is from version 7.00 to version 7.10. So what do you recommend please in this case in order to implement the required functionality on our SAP ECC 5.0 System?
Best Regards,
Erik Espinosa

Note clearly states
This note is only relevant if the following Support Package is installed in the system:
NW04s: Support Package SAPKB70008
Meaning is not relevat to your case. You need to keep looking... if you open an OSS message people from SAP might put you in the right direction.
Regards
Juan

Solaris kernel patch levels

I have engineers asking for a particular kernel patch level to be installed on machines.
Is there anywhere that lists the kernel patch level on releases and hardware updates for Solaris 8-10?
Thanks,

It looks like it is unable to load fglrx.
Do you have any fglrx specific configuration? Do you have anything in your /etc/modprobe.d ?
Could it be that fglrx is compiled for previous versions of kernel and this is a problem?
I don't have any specific fglrx configuration and in /etc/modprobe.d/ I have a file called modprobe.conf that contains
blacklist radeon
fglrx
I dont think fglrx was compiled for previous versions of the kernel because I used the kernel that the latest release contained. My kernel version is 3.16.3-1.

Need urgent Help for Kernel upgrade......

Hi Gurus,
I have recently upgraded SAP kernel from Release 6.40 Patch 109 to Release 6.40 Patch 175. My System is SAP ERP Central Component 5.0 and Release is 6.40 and Kernel Stataus is showing below details:
Kernel release    640
Compilation       SunOS 5.8 G
Patch Level       175
ABAP Load         1521
CUA load          16
Mode              opt
~
I have total 8 Application servers. today I have genereated EWA report and in that report, for SAP kernel section it has reported that <b>"You are running different SAP kernel releases on your instances. This situation may lead to severe problems and is not supported by SAP.
Recommendation: Use only one kernel release for all instances."</b>
Actaully I have updated kernel in my central instance (/sapmnt/<SID>/exe) and this directory is NFS mount in all the application server. So I am not sure why the SAP EWA is repoting this that you are running difference SAP Kerenl release.
If this is correct then how to rectify it ? what action I need to take to resolve this ?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks & Regards
Basis

I will plan to do that as early as possible. Even I
am going to write to SAP to release that note in
english for better understanding.
yes - that note should be translated giving the importance.
My question is: Am I on HIGH ALERT for this issue ?
Since it is production server, will it going to
affect my system in any aspect ??
No, you will just see a slightly higher usage of "nfsd" when you start the application servers for the first time since they will all copy parts of the kernel locally.
2nd thing, This is applicable only to NW ? Because I
have upgraded SAP Kernel to Patch 175 to other R/3
system having more application server, but I didn't
get this comment in my EWA report ?
The comment isn´t related to to usage of sapcpe. The comment means, that you have at least one application server, that uses local binaries with a different patchlevel instead of those on the central instance. I would consider that more critical. Maybe you installed one of the servers later and used a newer installation CD set which creates that new structure for using sapcpe by default... don´t know, just a guess. To check, go to SM51 and select each server and press on "Release Information", you will see which one is affected.
This week I am planning to upgrade kernel for 4.6D
release to Patch 2307. Will this be gona issue for
that also ?
Kernels lower than 6.10 use a different approach (the "ctrun directory" mentioned in that note) - technically it´s the same. The installation guides for 4.6c should tell you how to set that up.

Components involved on SAP KERNELL

Hi,
I want to update the sap kernell. I always update with sapexe, and sapexedb(independent and dependent database), but I need to try to update the kernell, but the last release delivered it´s the 701_117.
If I want to update I need to try with the package dw+disp package?
SAP Note 19466 - Downloading SAP kernel patches
More thanks

Hello,
Components of SAPEXE and SAPEXEDB are tested together.
You can update a kernel component if it's newer than the component of SAPEXE or SAPEXEDB
but there may be some unknown side effects.
Component release date is no longer relevant in itself. Sometimes a newer dated SAPEXE
or SAPEXEDB can contain an older component than a single component with an older release date.
If you want to find out which version is newer you should check the file versions.
Regards,
Laszlo

Fix linux kernel vulnerability

At the moment I have one OEL server ... during boot up it reports
Red Hat Nash 5.1.19.6 ( yes it reports Red Hat even though I built it from an OEL download.)
Once up, a 'uname -a' reports '2.6.18-164.el5 x86-64.'
Now I have a directive to upgrade the kernel if the kernel is a 2.6.x release prior to 20 Sept. 2010 for Red Hat Enterprise v5 servers)
I assume that even though this was built from an OEL download, the fact that it is still showing "Red Hat" at boot time means I'm still on a Red Hat distro.
How do I make the upgrade?
As this is a trial machine, we have not purchased a support contract. That is not out of the question, but short term I'd rather not wait on our arcane purchasing system.

The OSS document that you mentioned lists the latest kernels as of September 2010, and describes the changes made.
Why are you afraid that you might not be in compliance?
Because I don't know enough about what I'm doing to be able to confirm that the specific issue has been addressed.
I'll be the first to admit that I may be staring the answer in the face and simply not recognizing it because I'm not familiar enough with administering Linux versions/patches, etc. I'm comfortable as a linux user and as a DBA with my db's on linux (actually, I stay away from Windows as much as possible), but this is a level of os admin I've never had to deal with.
Part of what leaves me a bit uncomfortable is the statement in my directive that the directive states
=========
Affected Software/Patch(es):
Linux Kernel 2.6.X releases prior to 20 September 2010 *
===========================
but even with the latest applied updates, I get
[root@lnxsrv02 ~]# uname -a
Linux lnxsrv02.mydomain 2.6.32-100.0.19.el5 #1 SMP Fri Sep 17 17:51:41 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/LinuxNote that - with no further reference - the date of my update level would have me at an "Affected" level.
If I understand correctly, all you need to do is install the latest kernel update of OEL, because that's the distribution you are running.
What repositories does your system use? Which kernel updates are automatically available?

Gspca for newer kernels

Hi. I've got Creative Webcam NX Pro and I found i should be able to use it with gspca. gspca4all package in AUR is orphaned and outdated, so I tried to do it myslef. Unfortunately, adter many tries to compile it myself, it looks like it's impossible for newer kernels. The last release of gspca was in 2007. I'm sorry to see it's discontinued, but if it supports so many webcams, maybe it's at least possible to make it compile on 2.6.30 kernel?

gspca was integrated into the kernel(with 2.6.27 I think).

Changelog, kernel upgrade

I'm new to Arch as of a couple of weeks. Whilst most of my newbie questions have already been answered by man pages, the wiki, and these forums, I'm left with two questions about Arch that I didn't find an answer to, so I'd appreciate if someone could answer these.
'pacman -Syu', or indeed 'yaourt -Syua', can show a number of updated packages. Is there a central changelog for these? The key word being 'central' - so one doesn't have to visit each package's web page to see what's changed.
How does one know whether a package installed from AUR requires reinstalling after a kernel upgrade? It could be one that provides a kernel module, for example.

I don't think there's any standard way of knowing whether or not an AUR package absolutely needs to be rebuilt against a new kernel.
In my case (because of the fairly limited amount of AUR packages I'm running), I just rebuild them whenever a kernel update has been released.

Relation between R3 kernel version 640 and 4.6B, C D

Hi,
What is the relation between R3 Kernel 640 version and SAP 4.6B, C, D versions. Based on R3 kernel version how to identify the sap version e.g. 4.6B, C D etc.
Thanks.
Anirudh,

Hello Anirudh,
Every SAP release will have its own set of kernel releases
SAP Kernel 7.00 is valid for ECC 6.0.
SAP kernel 640 is actually valid from SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.7. it is also valid for ECC 5.0
For 4.6 C kernel release 46D is available.
For 4.6B SAP Kernel 4.6B and 4.6 C are available.
For 4.6A 4.6A,4.6B and 4.6C are available.
This is what is available in marketplace however I have heard about something called downward compatability of kernels which means lower releases can have higher kernels.
You must always go for the highest available kernel patch.
However kernel is OS bit size specific
Regards.
Ruchit.

*SOLVED* - 2D draw very slow, intel / fglrx Xorg driver

Hey all,
My very first support post to the forums
I have an issue on a few computers whereby the 2D drawing in X is very slow. This happens on my laptop with Intel vga and also on a desktop when using the proprietary fglrx driver. I did not have this problem a few months ago when using stable. At that time, I installed testing and discovered the problem, so I went back to stable. Some time later an update to Xorg came into stable and since then the problem is now in the that tree also.
I thought it might be the new GEM stuff for the Intel driver, so I installed the 2.6.28 kernel when it was released - it did not solve the problem. Installing an NVIDIA card into the desktop box does solves the problem (can't do that for my laptop!). Because it's happening with the intel and fglrx drivers, but not with NVIDIA, I think it might be a problem with some Xorg component that the NVIDIA driver performs itself? But I've no idea..
Essentially, I'm using wmii as my desktop, which is a tiled window manager. Creating a new terminal window, switching between them and closing them all is very slow (taking a second or more), when it should be pretty much instantaneous.
When doing these things, Xorg takes up 90% CPU usage. By comparison, on the same laptop under Debian it only uses 10% CPU (and the problem does not exist).
I have created two desktop screencasts of what I mean. In the videos I am quickly opening a bunch of xterms and then later holding down 'switch between terminals', then holding down 'close terminal'. I run htop to show the CPU usage.
Arch, 4.9 MB, OGV - http://christophersmart.com/videos/archlinux-wmii.ogv
Debian, 5.7 MB, OGV- http://christophersmart.com/videos/debian-wmii.ogv
Any ideas?
Thanks a bunch!
Chris
Edit: FYI, the desktop has an Intel Core2 CPU with 8GB RAM and 2 x WD Raptor drives in RAID 0. With an ATI card, wmii is unusable.

Well I first discovered the problem with the 'intel' driver and later when I set up Arch Linux on a desktop I was met with the same issue. I think it might be some part of Xorg that they both share, but it's not just a problem with the catalyst driver.. unfortunately
