Andrews Lavarre <alavarre@gmail.com> 2012-08-29 21:49:26 UTC --- Installed Joey Li's patch to 3.1.10-1.2 kernel-desktop. It **is** more reliable. No further crashes of the touchpad to date, 36 hours later. Well done, Joey. However, it seems to break VirtualBox, as detailed in the preceding attachment: Oracle's VirtualBox fails to run and says to reinstall the kernel modules The VirtualBox kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup as root. You should first install the DKMS package... + DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support) Framework 2.1.1.2-1.1 is installed. + And indeed, /dev/vboxdrv does not exist. + So I run it: tm2t:~ # /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules done Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules done Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMS Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 3.1.10-1-desktop cannot be found at /lib/modules/3.1.10-1-desktop/build or /lib/modules/3.1.10-1-desktop/source. failed (Failed, trying without DKMS) Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules failed (Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong) + /var/log/vbox-install.log returns a long list of issues, including one that says: ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid. include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing. Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it. ===== So I'm getting in over my head. I have other versions I can use to do my work, and Joey's patch seems to have fixed the other versions as well, but this issue should be addressed eventually. I'll be glad to upload /var/log/vbox-install.log if you need it. Thanks again to Joey for fixing the pad. His patch seems also (can't understand why, but if it ain't broke don't fix it) seems to have solved the problem in the other versions as well (e.g., 3.1.10-1.16.1). I've been 36 hours without the pad freezing up. Well done Joey.
