[opensuse-kernel] shmobile support in armv7hl/default kernel
by Jean Delvare 23 Jun '14

23 Jun '14

Hi Guillaume, Andreas and all, I am wondering if our default armv7 kernel is supposed to support the shmobile architecture? I see the following: # CONFIG_ARCH_SHMOBILE_LEGACY is not set CONFIG_ARCH_SHMOBILE=y CONFIG_ARCH_SHMOBILE_MULTI=y CONFIG_SHMOBILE_TIMER_HZ=128 CONFIG_I2C_SH_MOBILE=m # CONFIG_VIDEO_SH_MOBILE_CSI2 is not set # CONFIG_VIDEO_SH_MOBILE_CEU is not set CONFIG_DRM_SHMOBILE=m # CONFIG_FB_SH_MOBILE_LCDC is not set # CONFIG_FB_SH_MOBILE_MERAM is not set # CONFIG_SHMOBILE_IOMMU is not set which gives me the feeling that we half-support it, which is not terribly useful. Can we make a decision and either enable all these drivers or disable shmobile support altogether? I don't care which way we go, but I would enjoy some consistency.

[opensuse-kernel] iwlwifi status
by Zeitlinie 23 Jun '14

23 Jun '14

if this is off-topic, please discard - or hopefully suggest other support channels. The iwlwifi driver on openSUSE 13.1 causes severe issues with dual band intel AC 7260 wifi cards with integrated bluetooth. This is getting an inevitable hw component of many recent subnotebooks. I experience frequent and random drops of connection as well as loss of signal strength whenever I enable and use bluetooth together with wifi both running in the 2.4GHz band. If I disable bluetooth in the BIOS setup or use 5GHz wifi then the connection seems stable. (Many kind-of similar issue are reported by other users of linux+AC7260 on the net.) http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi directs users with iwlwifi driver issues to the vanilla kernel's bugzilla at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/. Unfortunately however, support/info on that list was limited to the statement that openSUSE's 13.1 kernel (uname -r 3.11.10-11-desktop for me) is '..very old..' and should be updated https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78271#c1 Is there any hope that openSUSE 13.1, within its life cycle, will see kernel/driver/firmware updates such as to support Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 cards properly? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] Fwd: RTL8723AU options in http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.15-utopic/
by Larry Finger 20 Jun '14

20 Jun '14

This is a heads-up regarding kernel configuration for 3.15. Selecting the configuration option CONFIG_RTL8723AU_P2P leads to crashes with some, but not all, of the RTL8723AU devices. This hardware is fairly rare, and there may not me any openSUSE users with it, but why take a chance. All of the CONFIG_RTL8723AU_P2P code has been removed in 3.16 and replaced by cfg80211 ioctls, thus not having P2P functionality is only temporary. Thanks, Larry -------- Original Message -------- Subject: RTL8723AU options in http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.15-utopic/ Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2014 17:42:20 +0200 From: Jes Sorensen <Jes.Sorensen(a)redhat.com> To: andy.whitcroft(a)canonical.com CC: timg(a)canonical.com, Larry.Finger(a)lwfinger.net, Clinton Sprain <clintonsprain(a)gmail.com>, achiang(a)canonical.com Hi, Alex Chiang was kind enough to point the finger at you guys :) I received an OOPS report on the kernel here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.15-utopic/ It is related to the rtl8723au staging driver which I am currently in the process of bashing to pieces. Looking at the crash report it looks like it is happening in some P2P code which is enabled with CONFIG_RTL8723AU_P2P. We ripped out all the CONFIG_RTL8723AU_P2P code completely for 3.16 as it's completely broken and it should be handled outside of the driver anyway. As such, I wanted to request you disble this config option in your next build? It should avoid users experiencing crashes unnecessarily and all of us receiving bug reports over it :) Cheers, Jes -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] QEMU/KVM broken with new plymouth
by Max Lin 13 Jun '14

Hi, I'm not so sure here is the right place to ask. New plymouth[1] was submit to Factory, but we found it will broken on QEMU/KVM(ie. openQA[2]) with encrypted lvm environment, and it seems an known issue(see comment in [1]), anyone know that does it QEMU/KVM issue? if so, do we have any solution? or any opinion?

[opensuse-kernel] Why is CONFIG_SLAB the default in SUSE kernels ?
by Cristian Rodríguez 12 Jun '14

12 Jun '14

Hi: Just out of curiosity, why SUSE kernels default to CONFIG_SLAB and not CONFIG_SLUB ? I just checked the rest of current distribution world and everyone else takes the kernel default. I am assuming there is a reason for this, that it is intentional and not a oversight where somebody forgot changing the configuration... -- Cristian "I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] Is the kernel production in a rut?
by Basil Chupin 12 Jun '14

12 Jun '14

I use the ..../stable/...... kernel repository to get, and keep, the latest stable kernel on my 13.1 Desktop system (ie, I don't use the 'release' kernel'). Over the past ~week there were 2 updates for- kernel-devel which brought this file to version 3.14.5-2.1. Nice. But where are the associated files- kernel-desktop and kernel-desktop-devel ? In the past I have seen an update for kernel-devel and without updates to the other 2 files. However, the next day (for me) the other 2 files were available for installation. But not this time - as I said, it's been around a week without any sign of the updates for kernel-desktop and kernel-desktop-devel. What's the problem?

[opensuse-kernel] Could you please add patches for chrome laptops to the kernel?
by 胡小柯 11 Jun '14

Hi, I'm using Acer ChromeBook C720 with openSUSE 13.1, but the touchpad did not work out of box. I installed Arch Linux according to this wiki, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Acer_C720_Chromebook. And it just work out great. However, I do not know how to install those patches fixed touchpad issue. I wonder if anyone could add those patches to the kernel-desktop. Here are the patches, https://patchwork.kernel.org/bundle/bleung/chromeos-laptop-deferring-and-ha…. Thank you! --- Best wishes.
