<0> hey ferro, i'm having trouble finding the source for this file...
<0> i basically need to patch it by adding a line to the source and recompile the module
<1> you want the source for your current running kernel
<0> should i download kernel sources?
<0> all of it, thats the only way to get it
<0> ?
<1> check the version of the kernel you're using, and apt-get the source (i think it's 'linux-source-2.6.15' for dapper)
<1> then unpack, copy your config file from /boot to the uncompressed location of the kernel source as filename '.config', patch the source, do 'make menuconfig', save, then 'make modules', locate the module and place it in it's designated location
<1> alternatively, you can just 'make modules' 'make modules install'
<1> that's if the thing you're patching is a module
<0> yea its just a single module, so i'd rather just rebuild that alone
<0> i've never actually done this before, but it seems pretty straight forward? can i get edit the source.c compile it and then made modules on it?
<0> sp sorry-- make modules make install
<1> make install will make the whole kernel iirc (or am i crazy)
<0> hehe yea, i meant make modules, make modules install
<1> make modules_install will install the modules only
<0> can i use those commands to make a single module?
<1> but then you may need to make a new initrd file
<1> i'm too lazy, never tried single modules that way, it may need to be linked in some way, so a normal compile command may error out
<0> damn. is there a howto on this anywhere? for people that need to rebuild a module and install it
<1> probably
<1> or save yourself a headache and buy a USB mem card reader
<1> heh
<0> the guy from evil genius, he made it sound really straight forward... ha
<0> "Because the code is removing 40 lines and adding in one, I just went directly to that file in my source directory and made the edit by hand. I rebuilt and reinstalled modules, and rebooted the box."
<1> yep
<1> the steps i said, it's not that hard
<0> alright, i should just do em all then.. cool
<1> yeah, go for it
<0> thanks, i'll follow
<0> **** all this time i didn't know what blocking and block sizes were all about... i guess this has helped me understand that
<1> if you have the time, go through the linux kernel, check it all out, you'll learn a **** load. Every option will have a help section via the ? key
<0> so, i've compiled a bunch of kernels years ago when i used to use redhat-- i've read nowadays its fairly pointless because of the generica
<0> what do you say about it?
<0> generica /slash everything is built in for the most part and doing a custom kernel won't gain you much
<0> as it once did
<1> compiling your own kernel can improve performance and reduce the ability for many security holes to creep up on you, it also allows you to get more of an idea as to wtf you're doing, what drivers are for what hardware and you can tinker with the idea of using some of the more... specialized options the linux kernel provides
<1> you can also make youself a nice monolithic kernel (no modules)
<1> modules are a slight performance drain for starters
<2> i saw that a greak deal with dealing with freebsd
<2> take a stock kernel
<2> 5 minutes of editing a .CONF
<2> 20 minutes (fast machine) of compiling
<2> reboot, 40% performance boost :)
<1> i got my kernel cut down so much... it takes me < 5mins to compile now
<1> but I do have a beefy system
<0> lol, the mmc_block.c file is copyrighted by HP
<1> takes about 6 hours or more on my poor ppc though
<0> i did an online support chat with a rep earlier and asked them if there was an equivalent for linux distros, as they had a windows patch
<0> (HP Rep)
<0> pretty damn funny that the obvious answer was no, and now seeing this later.. ha they actually own the file
<0> hey ferro, i have a problem... alot of (almost all) of the 40+ lines of code to remove don't exist in this .c file...
<0> theres a diff command w/ arguments in the patch itself
<0> should i try running that?
<0> or will that possibly screw it up
<1> the diff file will remove lines IF they exist and replace them with different lines of code
<1> if they don't exist, it'll give you an error output
<1> could be they changed something in that file from 2.6.15 to 2.6.17.5 (as that's the kernel described on the website)
<3> shizident: what's the issue?
<3> (haven't read all of backscroll yet)
<0> i have an SD card over 1GB and my built in reader won't mount it because of a block size issue
<3> shizident: and you've found a fix for it?
<0> yep, a guy had the same prob and he just patched the mmc_block.c rebuilt and reinstalled modules
<3> please link me to the URL
<0> well, ferro found the url, so that was awesome.. im half way there
<0> here's the thread:
<0> http://www.evilgeniuschronicles.org/wordpress/category/technology/computers/linux/
<3> if it's sane I'll generate a diff and send it to Ben.
<0> cool
<0> damn, maybe i should just build a custom 2.6.17 kernel and get the source and patch it that way
<2> back to work
<2> bbl
<0> alright thats what i'll do for now, ill pop back tho
<0> thanks guys
<4> anyone know how to install Microsoft fonts on ubuntu?
<3> you still haven't resolved that?
<4> no..
<4> it keeps giving me an error
<3> do you have msttcorefonts installed?
<4> look i'll put what error its giving me
<3> do you have main, universe, and multiverse enabled?
<4> msttcorefonts: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
<4> yes.. i have all those repositories installed
<4> look i'll send you the screenshot with the error
<3> that's not very informative for me
<3> what would help more is ``sudo dpkg -D3773 -i /var/cache/apt/archives/msttcorefonts*.deb''
<3> pastebin, please.
<5> Anyone else here experiencing problems with PPC install wireless connectivity?
<5> it fails to find my network or let me join it
<4> crimsun: theres a screenshot of the command you told me to type
<3> delf0s: I can't accept dccs
<3> delf0s: (also at work presently)
<3> delf0s: please pastebin (http://pastebin.ca) the output I requestde
<3> requested ^
<4> there i pasted it
<3> URL please?
<3> delf0s: are you using apt-cacher or apt-proxy?
<4> i have no clue.. where do i check that?
<3> dpkg -l apt-cacher apt-proxy |grep ^ii
<3> yeah, that's a bug
<3> here's a workaround:
<3> http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=369962
<3> scroll to the bottom
<2> hmm
<6> yep
<2> i feel like crap thismorning
<2> drank a bottle of wine last night
<2> and smoked a few bowls
<2> <3 air conditioning
<6> it's still night for me
<7> how can i get the latest kernel headers?
<3> sudo apt-get install linux-image-$(uname -r)
<7> hmm weird, already latest
<7> when i try to compile zaptel it tells me they are wrong version :/
<7> oh 'sources for the for the 2.6.15-23-server kernel' ?
<2> heh
<7> whats the package name for the kernel sources in apt-get?
<2> apt-get install kernel-package
<2> surely
<2> oh
<2> kernel-source
<7> kernel-source-2.4.27 is already the newest version.
<7> but im 2.6.15-23-server
<7> Zaptel just says this: You do not appear to have the sources for the 2.6.15-23-server kernel installed.
<2> :/
<8> hi there
<8> anyone can tell me how to make wine work? i have followed the installation at wine HQ but I still cant get a .exe work
<9> right, so ssh-askp***-fullscreen is a simple gui user-input grabber which returns the text to standard out.
<9> is there anything like that which doesn't mask the input? i want to use it in bash scripts.
<9> for instance, at some point in the script, ask the user for input, except not in console/terminal (there might not be one) instead as a gui input like ssh-askp***-fullscreen.
<9> and i want the user to be able to see the input that they're typing.
<10> helo
