New kernel package 2.6.7 breaks samba package -- solution

The new 2.6.7 kernel package from current breaks samba when it tries to load openldap.
The following will fix it :
cd /usr/lib
ln -s libldap-2.2.so.7.0.6 libldap.so.2
The symptom you'll see is that the samba service fails to start, and you'll see a shared library load error on boot.

And as of now there is an update for openldap which fixes the issue also. There was probably only a few hours where this could have happened.
So no one else use my fix
If you did, you either need to remove the link or use pacman -f to overwrite the link you made.

New Kernel breaks Sound

I am running arch on my old Toshiba 4020CDT Laptop. It uses an old Yamaha opl3sa2 ISA sound chipset.
Sound was working fine under the 2.6.13 kernel.
I just updated to the 2.6.14 kernel and the sound no longer works.
I get an error "myarch opl3sa2: can't grab port 0x538"
This is baffling me. My modprobe.cong file has not changed. (I need to specify the port for the sound card manually here; otherwise the OS guesses wrong. This is not unususal for ISA sound cards).
I also see all the needed modules when I do a lsmod.
Perhaps the initrd is messing things up...
Any iedas?
Rob

Thanks for post. I was the one who posted bug report 3609. It was a bug in the hwdetect script that was quickly fixed. (Thank you arch linux team!).
When bug 3609 was filed I was using the 2.6.13 kernel.
But when I upgraded to the 2.6.14 kernel, Sound stopped working.
Good News!! I tracked down the problem with my sound. The appropriate part of my original /etc/modprobe.conf that I used with the 2.6.13 kernel read as follows:
alias snd-card-0 snd-opl3sa2
alias sound-slot-0 snd-opl3sa2
options snd-opl3sa2 fm_port=-1 midi_port=-1 port=0x538 wss_port=0x530 isapnp=o dma1=1 dma2=0 irq=5
Notice that the options line is ALL one line.
For some reason, the new kernel and initscripts do NOT like any line greater than 80 characters. So I modified my modprobe.conf file as follows:
alias snd-card-0 snd-opl3sa2
alias sound-slot-0 snd-opl3sa2
options snd-opl3sa2 fm_port=-1 midi_port=-1 port=0x538 wss_port=0x530 options isapnp=o dma1=1 dma2=0 irq=5
Now sound works again. VERY strange.
So if anyone is having hardware problems with the new 2.6.14 kernel, check your modprobe file for any lines greater than 80 characters and modify accordingly.

Anybody willing to help out?

rooloo wrote:
the problem is not that the programs won't or couldn't work with 2.6.26 kernel.
It's an issue with pacman, the madwifi and wlan-ng26 packages. They where built with a dependency line. In that line there is this value 'kernel26<=2.6.25'. As u can imagine, if u want to install kernel 2.6.26 and some packages on the machine require kernel 2.6.25 or less then pacman will bitch about dependency issues. Even though both packages may work on 2.6.26.
No, that dependency is correct, these two packages only work with kernel 2.6.25. In the general case, modules need to be rebuilt against a newer version of the kernel, and these packages had not yet been rebuilt at that time.
But even without mentioning that, they don't even install in the same location : /lib/modules/2.6.25-ARCH vs /lib/modules/2.6.26-ARCH
That is why it is not recommended to use the testing repository unless you want your system to break periodically.
That is correct.
Users using testing should be the ones helping out (on bug tracker, forum, mailing list, etc), not the ones asking for help...

How do I use a newer kernel in the netinstall USB image

Hi,
trying to install Arch onto my laptop. My laptop is a Acer 1410 and it seems to have a new wireless card. dmesg | grep firmware shows something like iwlwifi-1000-2.ucode firmware file req failed: -2
The problem is I can only find iwlwifi-1000-3.ucode on intel's website. So I assume a newer kernel will help. Replacing the kernel on the live USB with vmlinuz-2.6.31-17-generic copied from by ubuntu install makes it not able to boot.
Thanks

The error message means that the firmware is not installed. Did you actually try the 1000-3.ucode before assuming you need a new kernel?
Also, there are various places where you could get an older firmware package, if you really need the 1000-2 version. Have a look at the wiki's Downgrade page for details.

which pkg else should I remove?
your kernel. i'd recommend you to do that first:
cp /boot/System.map26 /boot/System.map26.old
cp /boot/vmlinuz26 /boot/vmlinuz26.old
in case of problem with your newly installed kernel, edit the grub entry at boot according to the new back-up names above.
then simply:
pacman -Uf kernel26-snapshot-2.6.31-rc6-git6-i686.pkg.tar.gz
also, why has mkinitcpio been removed? reinstall it before installing your new kernel.

In need of a 2.6.18.4 kernel package

NEW KERNEL V47, and a new hope for 720p video play...

thats right people, after matan's strange disappearing, we now have pali getting us new kernels, and his first kernel with loads of new awesome patches is in the extras devels ( v47 ) , you can try it out, same installation method as the old v46 (or v42 from the extras ), and same overclocking method too .
and now he is working on a 720p video playback patch, he already got the 720p media codecs (finally) and many users reported that they are able to play 720p mpeg4 videos on the n900 (this patch isn't in the extras devel version....yet ! ) so now we don't have a hardware problem to play 720p videos, the problem is in gstreamer (video player in the default media player) but thank god, we have MohamadAG to work on that openmedia player so we can finally get 720p video playback .
and if we can play 720p videos, we can shoot them too .
and i can say that after 40 minutes of hard usage of this new kernel my phone seems a lot smoother and abit faster than the old v46 or v42 with the same overclocking settings .
Use Hildon Application Manager or via apt-get
Step 1 Installation:
In Hildon Application Manager install package: Linux Kernel for power user
Or via apt-get package: kernel-power-flasher
Step 2 Multiboot support:
First see step 1.
Then in Hildon Application Manager install package: Linux Kernel for power user (boot image)
Or via apt-get package: kernel-power-bootimg
this is not for noobs right now, but it will be soon, and it might become a part of the cssu .
and btw if you get a 400 degrees temprature in conky don't panic, its a false value, its 40

Load new kernel

I am running arch on Thinkpad x230t and I found this guide with recommendations for running arch on this particular laptop:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Le … nkPad_X230
I am trying to install the linux-ck kernel and am having some trouble. I downloaded the tarball and ran the PKGBUILD and ran for a while and finished without doinging anything alarming.
I made the recomended changes to:
/etc/mkinitcpio.conf
/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
And then tried to run:
mkinitcpio -p linux && mkinitcpio -p linux-ck
It created the first linux image without any problems but failed on the linux-ck, here is the full post:

What is the output of
# pacman -Qm
From the error that you posted, it clearly states that it can't find the specified linux-ck kernel, which if you installed should be hanging out inside of your /boot directory.
You might as well post the output of
ls /boot/
As for installing/compiling the linux-ck kernel, the Linux-ck ArchWiki, gives you a general idea, however its the same as installing any custom package (for me at least). Below are the steps that I personally do, keep in mind that there might be other/easier ways.
1. Download the latest linux-ck tarball from the AUR, and if you are using an nvidia card you can also grab the proper nvidia-ck package.
2. Extract the tarball, and cd into the newly created folder
3. edit the PKGBUILD, the only things I change in this file, are the variables in the code below that are set equal to y (enabling the option)
### PATCH AND BUILD OPTIONS
# Set these variables to ANYTHING that is not null (y or hello or 2 or "I like icecream") to enable them
_pstates_pat=y # Enable Haswell support for the new Intel pstate drive
_makenconfig= # Tweak kernel options prior to a build via nconfig
_localmodcfg=y # Compile ONLY probed modules
_use_current= # Use the current kernel's .config file
_BFQ_enable_=y # Enable BFQ as the default I/O scheduler
_NUMAdisable=y # Disable NUMA in kernel config
I personally have just started messing around with the kernel configuration so I'm using localmodconfig as a starting point. You can however load your own config, or start one from scratch.
4.Save & quit the file, then I personally run the command below, which compiles the package and if successful it installs it. Keep in mind I'm pretty sure you have to have 'Sudo' set up on the system.
makepkg -ci
If you don't have 'Sudo' or whatever, you can still just run
$ makepkg
# pacman -U pkgname-pkgver.pkg.tar.xz
5. If all is well, I update my grub2
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
At this point, you should be able to boot into your new kernel. Hopefully you use nvidia, and will notice that you have no X working. You can follow the same outline to compile and install the proper nvidia-ck driver package.
Hope this helps.

What is the best way to upgrade to a new kernel?

I would like to upgrade to the new kernel: kernel26-2.6.23.14-1 from the one from core (on the CD).
What is the best way to do this? Also, is there a way to find out what is new / has changed in the new kernel?
Thanks for any insights.

Gilneas wrote:
Surely you have tried pacman -Syu?
Kernel changelogs are on kernel.org. Perhaps it's more interesting to read articles on kerneltrap.org though.
I have had a kernel panic one time I upgraded a kernel. I had to walk back step-by-step to backtrack what I did.
I basically uninstalled the nv kernel driver for xorg and installed the proprietary drivers from their website (which I shouldn't have uninstalled nv drivers, but nonetheless I learned from it). But, somehow I think one of the packages I installed automatically upgraded to the lastest kernel. When I reverted to the properietary drivers it somehow uninstalled the latest kernel. The key thing I learned was "install the right drivers the first time!" But, yes, I know about "Pacman -Syu" in general, but didn't know that was the appropriate way to do it. It's just my two cents.

Arch freezes after about 10 minutes with new kernel [SOLVED]

As the title says: Arch freezes after about 10 minutes with new kernel (2.6.27). I can only move a mouse, but everything else is frozen. Even restarting X doesn't do a trick. It doesn't work at all. Frozen.
I don't get any kind of error message (oh really?), so what's the problem..?

Yeah... I'm using nvidia... So the problem is nvidia drivers, not the Linux kernel?
Edit: My card is nVidia GeForce 8800 Ultra. I can't get driver information now, because I'm using WinXP right now. I'll check it later.
Did you make a new install or just updated?
You can try to reinstall old kernel with:
pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/kernel(version you want).pkg.tar.gz
if you made a new install you may have to install the xorg keyboard driver and so.
By the way, there are a few diferent packages for nvidia drivers. Check wich is yours.
Also check /var/log/ folder for errors.
Updated kernel.
And as I said, I'll check the driver later.

Need install disk based on newer kernel to resolve network issues

Hi
It seams the kernel version supplied on the installation disk doesn't work with my network card. (See separate thread.) However, it seams that this network card should be supported in newer kernel versions.
How do I a) update the kernel when I have no network on the machine? or b) get an installation disk which has a newer kernel?

a) download kernel26 and kernel26-firmware packages with another computer, copy over via usb, install them with pacman
b) http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=95503

New kernel and problems installing nvidia-legacy drivers

I just compiled new kernel, and I can't install nvidia-legacy drivers properly. Pacman installs them, but the module (nvidia.ko) goes to /lib/modules/2.6.19-ARCH, and I want it to 2.6.19.2.. It doesn't work if I just copy the module..
I've compiled kernel many times without problems when I was still using Slackware. So, what do I need to configure to use the new module directory? I Propably made some small/stupid mistake..
I tried legacy drivers from nvidia.com, but they didnt compile.. weird, gonna try that again too..

You need to install the nvidia drivers, or any other non-kernel drivers, specifically for the kernel you are using. Arch packages the nvidia drivers to work with the Arch kernel packages, and the "Arch way" to deal with your situation is to modify the appropriate PKGBUILD to match your kernel, create a custom package with makepkg, and install it with pacman.
You can also use the nvidia installer, but in that case the nvidia files installed on your system will not be under pacman's control.

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).

Hi,
Yes, I know, loads of people have problems getting this to work and it has been posted thousands of times...but yet I can't do it! I've been trying for days, googling, reading the wikis and forums, but it won't work for me at all! I guess I'm doing something really evidently wrong, but what?
I've compiled a low latency kernel to allow me to run some midi applications that my wife absolutely must have (and she won't accept my move to Arch until I get them to work ) Now, this part is OK - I've succeeded here no probs. But no amount of work will get that Nvidia card up and running. I've tried this using abs in the following way: I've copied /var/abs/extra/nvidia-96xx to /var/abs/local/nvidia-96xx/ In nvidia.install I've changed KERNEL_VERSION from 2.6.25-ARCH to 2.6.21-rt; I've done the same thing in PKGBUILD; and I've changed pkgname in PKGBUILD to nvidia-custom. Then I've run makepkg -i -c...nothing. It seemed to build the first time I tried, however on booting into the new kernel I got greeted by a blank screen (and pacman won't let me re-install the NVIDIA driver, either) However, the second time it refused (I think it was a permissions problem). So I tried the same manipulation, this time copying /var/abs/extra/nvidia-96xx to my home directory. Still nothing. What am I doing wrong? Sorry for being such an Arch noob!
Thanks in advance!

OK, here is the exact error message when I try to do this manually:
The CC version check failed.
The compiler used to compile the kernel (gcc 4.2) does not exactly match the current compiler (gcc 4.3). The Linux 2.6 kernel module rejects kernel modules built with a version of gcc that does not exaclt match that of the compiler used to build the running kernel.
If you know what you are doing and want to ignore the gcc version to check, select "No" to continue installation. Otherwise, select "yes" to abort installation, set the CC environment to the name of the compiler used to compile your kernel, and restart installation. Abort now?
Does the fact that I find nvidia.ko where it should be mean that this is the problem when I try to install Nvidia with abs? How do I set the CC environment like it says? I don't really understand this message.
