[Solved] Kernel Update - Do I need to re-install Catalyst?

Hi....
Yesterday everything was going fine on my new AMD Fusion machine. Last night I did
pacman -Syu
and a new kernel was installed.
Now, I rebooted this morning, and I don't seem to have any graphics acceleration in kwin. My wobbly windows are gone, moving windows is incredibly slow and blocky, and (since I am using the netbook interface) when I click on the "running Applications" button, I only get a list instead of an image of all applications/work spaces.
So do I need to re-install or re-build the catalyst packages with the kernel update?

Ok Thanks...
I followed the catalyst wiki to install it, do I just need to do the following steps again?
cd catalyst-utils
makepkg -cs
sudo pacman -U catalyst-utils-*.tar.xz
(or if you are updating: sudo pacman -Ud catalyst-utils-*.tar.xz)
cp ati-driver-* ../catalyst
cd ../catalyst
makepkg -cis
then
# aticonfig --initial
(or for Dual Head: # aticonfig --initial=dual-head)
# aticonfig -v

Hi all i need some guide over here ^^

HI,
i doing BDCbdc for FB60 and i will need to run 1 more BDC before i PARK the doc.
The first BDC is to set the company code to 1000
But there is a problem if the company code in FB60 is 1000, then the BDC i run will fail.
IF the company code in FB60 is 1234 ad i try to set it as 1000, the BDC will run success.
therefore i think of a way, is there any way that i will able to know what is the company code in FB60 WITHOUT looking at the company code in FB60.
Is there a method that BDC can validate the company in FB60.
e.g
IF (company code in FB60) = 1000.
perform ........
else.
perform .......
ENDIF.
Points will be awared
Thanks,
guanwei

hi thanks for reply,
i know about this but what if the company have many company codes and once the BDC run.
the BDC have to check now the FB60 is 1000 or 1234 because different company code using different vendor. this is why i need to validate now the FB60 is using 1000 or 1234.
because there are too many company code, and if i have to set the company code in FB60 manual everytime it will become troublesome.
In FB60 transaction the system first promt for entering the company code
this will only happen when never use FB60 before, after you have set it to 1000, next time try to go to FB60 again it will not Promt to enter company code. it will use the last company code you have set.
that is why i need some guide on how to know what is the company code it using now by not going into FB60 itself.
Thanks

SAP ECC 6.0 IDES KERNEL Update

Dear experts,
i have installed a SAP ECC 6.0 IDES on a Windows Server 2003 Enterprise 64 bits + MS SQL from the MarketPlace:
-> http://service.sap.com/swdc
-> Download
-> Installations and Upgrades
-> My Company's Application Components
-> SAP ERP
-> SAP ERP 6.0
-> IDES-Version
-> Windows Server
-> Microsoft SQL-Server
and in order to update my solution into EHP3, i need to update the Kernel witch is in 7.00 version.
How and Where could i get the kernel update file?
Is there any difference between SAP Netweaver and SAP ERP Installation?
Thank you very much for your great help.
Best regards,
Pascal.
PS: i already update the SPAM/SAINT version (number 33) and have a well configured MOPZ for confirmed files.

Hello Pascal,
The kernel is at a differnt location. Please go to:
1. http://service.sap.com/swdc
2. Download
3. Support Packages and Patches
4. Entry by Application Group
5. Additional Components
6. SAP Kernel
Select the corresponding platform.
You should download 2 kernel files: SAPEXE and SAPEXEDB. One is database independent, one is DB dependent. Unpack them to the kernel directory and the kernel then is upgraded.
Best Regards,
Joseph

Kernel update of CI with application instance

We have JP ux with SAP 5.0 , oracle , we allready performed kernel update on DEV & QA , i want to know the procedure for CI with APP instance, do i need to update both saperately ?
regards
Sachin Sonawane

the OS for both instance is same but the /sapmnt/SID/exe is not shared because they are showing different sizes & files,
Then i need do it separately ?
If /sapmnt/SID/exe is not shared then you have to do it separately.
Is a standard practice (included on the installation guide) that application servers share following directories with the CI,
/sapmnt/SID/exe (This is not shared/mounted on heterogenous environments)
/sapmnt/SID/global
/sapmnt/SID/profile
Read the guide for reference

Juan

SAP Kernel Update Permition

Dears:
When you use the account root to extract the SAP latest kernel in the HP unix, and before or after you cover the old kernel with the new one. If you need to do any property of the kernel files. For exampe, change the file owner to as the following sample.
chown ora<sid> brarchive brbackup brconnect brtools
    chmod 4775     brarchive brbackup brconnect brtools
    chmod 755     brrestore     (owner is <sid>adm)
    chmod 755     brrecover     (owner is <sid>adm)
    chmod 755     libsbt.*      (owner is <sid>adm)
    chmod 755     sapdba        (owner is <sid>adm)

Hi Bach,
You are absolutely on the right path, nothing to worry.
Download the kernel from SMP (/swdc). Upload the new kernel to a temp directory on ur app server.
Now,
1. Take a backup of ur existing kernel directory.
2. As user root or <sid>adm replace the old kernel by the new kernel.
3. Check the following guide (Security on UNIX/Linux NW04S) and set the permissions as per pg# 9 of this guide.
https://websmp108.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=011000358700000485892007E
4. Now only for certain br*tools u will need to change the permission as this is important so that both ora<sid> and <sid>adm can use it to perform DBA activities from DB13. Set it to permissions as mentioned in the SAP Note below.
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/113747
lastly, to answer your quetion no 4775 and 775 is not the same, the 4 helps the s-bit to be switched on and helps to prevent the errors mentioned in the sap note below.
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/651351
Hope, this answers all your queries. Pls award suitably.

[SOLVED] no timidity service + pulse, kernel update (3.16.3-1)

I had sound working before upon boot, but sound was failing after resume from suspend on HP dv7 laptop. I hadn't gotten around to figuring out how to store alsa state (what I believe to be the solution to sound failing after suspend). My install is about a week old. I ran pacman -Syu to get into the habit of doing so. Now I know why it is suggested to not do the updates when you don't have time to fix things that might need to be fixed.
alsamixer is not muted, but I only see master channel as user or root - selecting the Intel PCH sound card within alsamixer allowed me to see the other channels, but speaker-test remained silent. But I have been consistently seeing PCH Transcoder A errors on boot. Wasn't sure what they were, since everything had worked prior to kernel update. Investigating sound yields my hardware is Intel PCH, so these errors may be important, but I am also unsure how to access any log they might be recorded in.
EDIT: speaker-test and timidity work in single user console mode, but not in KDE.

Any ideas on what I should do? Also, why did my sound break, and what should I do to prevent sound from breaking in future kernel updates?

fluidsynth (needed for Rosegarden) has been told to use pulseaudio instead of alsa directly (as per https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=154002 )
What worked to get speaker-test running in Konsole: adding -D to:
ExecStart=/usr/bin/timidity -iA
to become
ExecStart=/usr/bin/timidity -iAD
in /usr/lib/systemd/system/timidity.service (as per: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=149339&p=2 post 29)
Additionally, I was able to see a default audio device in KDE system settings...multimedia instead of just dummy device. However, even after preferring the default audio device for everything (and it tests fine), Rosegarden still has no volume. Timidity in Konsole plays audibly now too. I am now going to reboot and see what the status is.

Mounting issues after kernel update (2.6.25)

After installing the recent kernel update, mounting has gone haywire. When I put in a cd (in either of my 2 drives) it doesn't mount. In thunar, when I click on the cd drive, it displays this error:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so.
I did dmesg | tail and I got this:
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.

Also, when booting a few minutes ago, it was stuck on the "checking filesystems" for a few minutes, when it usually does that step almost immediately. I also couldn't mount an iso, this is what happened:
[root@eric-arch eric]# mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to/iso.iso /mnt/iso2
mount: could not find any device /dev/loop#
Note: I am not certain that it was caused by the kernel update, but that is the only thing I did to my machine before this started happening.
Please help asap because I need to do schoolwork which is on a cd.

jealma wrote:I know the solution to the /dev/loop-problem. The new 2.6.25 kernel has the loop device as a module. Please try a `modprobe loop`, that gives you a /dev/loop. I don't know whether that will be persistent after a reboot, so you may need to add "loop" to the modules-list in /etc/rc.conf.
That worked, but I still have other issues with cd mounting, so I downgraded my kernel for now.

[kernel] kernel update and third party modules management

Hi all,
I turned to Archlinux with my new thinkpad X220 just for a few days, while I have used Ubuntu for 4 years. I had never controlled my system in such a degree, and feel happy about it.
However, I have a question about kernel update, for I had install some modules from AUR with yaourt( e.g. tp_smapi, acpi_call). For my poor knowledge about pacman, I don't know how to handle those modules while I upgrade my kernel. I cannot remember to re-install all of them!
I think there must be a solution that I didn't found, so I write this thread to ask for help.
Any help would be appreciate.

Mr.Elendig wrote:You can use some silly wrapper around pacman that rebuilds them when there is a kernel update. I'm sure someone has written one already.
Thank you, Mr.Elendig. Do you mean some kind of frontend such as yaourt?
Or some kind of hooks like this:
aur/mkinitcpio-vbox 2.0-3 (Out of Date) (29)
VirtualBox hook for mkinitcpio that rebuilds kernel modules on next reboot
Using the key words you provided, I searched " kernel upgrade module rebuild " and found that gentoo offically provide a tool called "module-rebuild" to reinstall external modules. Maybe it's because gentoo always compile source code? But no other results.
However, now I found what I need to do is just to build the modules listed in the /etc/rc.conf, and that is acceptable. Maybe after a few weeks of study, I can find out my way to solve this problem.
And thanks for your reply.

After last kernel update OpenGL not working (radeonsi)

uname -a
Linux arch 3.14.4-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue May 13 16:41:39 CEST 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Just updated the Kernel and Steam and the games are not loading and giving me opengl errors. This didn't happen just before I updated the kernel.
When opening Steam I get this error:
OpenGL GLX context is not using direct rendering, which may cause performance problems.
For more information visit https://support.steampowered.com/kb_art … -EYZB-7457.
When launching a game (Dota2) I get this error:
Could not find the required OpenGL entry point 'glGetError'! Either your video card is unsupported, or your OpenGL driver needs to be updated.
As said, this happened just after the Kernel update. I just reinstalled it and there's no error or anything.

I'm on Nvidia hardware but I'm also suddenly getting the same error after an update so it seems likely this is related. Per your suggestion I downgraded the kernel (and I know it worked with this version):
uname -a
Linux ShawkatArch 3.14.2-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Apr 27 11:28:44 CEST 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux
but I'm getting the same error. However my glxinfo indicates direct rendering is OK:
glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: Yes
glxinfo32 | grep direct
direct rendering: Yes
Portion of Steam errors:
libGL error: dlopen /usr/lib32/xorg/modules/dri/nouveau_dri.so failed (/home/cookcd/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by /usr/lib32/xorg/modules/dri/nouveau_dri.so))
libGL error: unable to load driver: nouveau_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: nouveau

[Solved] Nvidia after kernel update

The nvidia wiki clearly states that: "Every time the kernel26 package is updated, it is a requirement to reinstall the nvidia package and rebooting afterwards. "
But my question is, why? I mean, if the module was to be recompiled, that would make sense. But what does just reinstalling the driver accomplish? In my system, pacman -Ql nvidia shows:
$ pacman -Ql nvidia
nvidia /etc/
nvidia /etc/modprobe.d/
nvidia /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau_blacklist.conf
nvidia /lib/
nvidia /lib/modules/
nvidia /lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/
nvidia /lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/kernel/
nvidia /lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/kernel/drivers/
nvidia /lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/kernel/drivers/video/
nvidia /lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko
From what I've read, I think the kernel update process copies the compiled modules into the proper folder (inside /lib) named by the kernel version. Should this not be the case with nvidia? If it is not, then is this why the reinstall is needed?
Thanks in advance (and my apologies if I've glossed over something that's patently obvious --- while I've searched for the answer before posting, I am still quite the novice at tinkering with the kernel)
EDIT: just after posting I've realized that maybe this post belongs in "Kernel and Hardware Issues" subforum. But the truth is this isn't really an "issue"... it's more a question from, well, a newbie :-)

Running the risk of asking what might be obvious to some, why?
The driver speaks to the kernel. When the kernel updates, the language used might have changed in various ways. Since nvidia is closed-source, its not always obvious whether what has changed affects it. The same applies to xorg-server, when it updates you should recompile your nvidia driver. Its SOMETIMES not needed, but when it is, would you rather be solving it from the tty?

Now I'm confused. Are you saying that the safest approach is to recompile and (re)install the nvidia module after each kernel update? And does this only apply to modules from beta & AUR, or [extra] as well? And shouldn't all this issue of recompiling modules also apply to every other module installed in the system?
Yes that's the safest approach. [extra] is taken care of by the devs, the simple way is to assume they'll bump it if needed (and you don't need to do anything).
The same thing applies to almost any kernel module (AFAIK). It applies to virtualbox's modules, for sure, as well as phc-intel (the only other 2 external modules I use). Most kernel modules are actually compiled in to the kernel26 package anyway, so its not very many. I just automatically recompile the ones I use whenever I notice a kernel/xorg update.

Automatically build kernel module after kernel update

Hello. Everytime kernel is updated, my wifi drivers don't work. I need to use this to get my adapter working: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/8192cu-dkms/ .
After kernel update, I have to manually reinstall the package, so the kernel module gets rebuilt. Is there any way to make it automatic?

I noticed it, but your script doesn't run at all when I type `mkinitcpio -p linux`. And wifi still works after reboot. Same for graphics driver, it has a hook at shutdown, that rebuilds its module after kernel update, it haven't run too and graphics driver works. It's like 'mkinitcpio -p linux' does nothing to the system.

Automatic recompiling of kernel module after kernel update.

Hello everyone,
i tried to search for it but without success...
my question is - is it possible to set it up somehow that aur package would recompile after kernel update?
The package I would like to rebuild is rt3090 which is module for my wifi card. It is very annoying to rebuild it manually. I know that my fglrx module does it automaticaly but how to set it?
Thank all of you for any advise.

Thank you :-) It looks ok, I will try DKMS as soon as I get some free time. If there was any problem, I would tell you.
BTW: I use catalyst mainly because of saving energy management, which is of course better for my netbook. My card is too new to be fully supported by the opensource driver.
EDIT:
I solved the situation by upgrading my system, I tried in-kernel module rt2800pci. In the previous kernels it didn't work well with my crappy ralink rt3090 wifi card, but that's been improved :-) so I do not need rebuild the package anymore even because this module isn't compatible with newest kernel.
I also learnt how to write my own hook from archwiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mkinitcpio) so if the new module didn't work I would try it.
The final solution = replace module rt3090sta by rt2800pci.
Thanks! Arch has very powerful community :-)
