I usually take the newest openSUSE kernel (from repository
Kernel_stable). But since some month I have a DVB T2 HD card, which
requires a patch (see https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194171).
So I need to compile kernels myself. I have a working compilation path.
But the current path has 12 steps! It takes some time. I wonder, why it
is so complicated to configure, compile and install a Kernel under openSUSE.
Is there a better/easier/automated way to configure, compile and install
a Kernel under openSUSE?
I know this blog article. But the article uses Vanilla kernels and also
needs 6 steps. With additional patches (4 steps), third-party modules (2
steps) and cleanup (1 step) the article would also need 13 steps:
Compiling the Linux Kernel, the SUSE way
https://www.suse.com/communities/blog/compiling-de-linux-kernel-suse-way/
This is my Kernel configuration, compilation and installation path:
1. Update kernel-source and kernel-default from Kernel_stable repository
2. Save kernel-source: cp -a /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-...
/usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my
3. Apply my patches
cd /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my
patch -b -p1 < ~myuser/.../my-kernel-patch.patch
4. Copy standard configuration:
cd /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my
cp -v /boot/config-4.11.4-1.gcba98ee-default .config
5. Edit .config:
remove CONFIG_LOCALVERSION, CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL, CONFIG_EXPERT
remove some hardware-dependent settings
6. edit configuration interactively:
Disable CONFIG_EXPERT and CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL, because otherwise
"make binrpm-pkg" creates huge kernel binaries.
make oldconfig
[...]
Local version - append to kernel release (LOCALVERSION) [] (NEW) -my1
*
* Configure standard kernel features (expert users)
*
Configure standard kernel features (expert users) (EXPERT) [N/y/?]
(NEW)
Kernel debugging (DEBUG_KERNEL) [N/y/?] (NEW)
make menuconfig
Do some additional configuration.
7. Compile kernel
(-j4 for four processor cores, ionice and nice to reduce the load,
binrpm-pkg for RPM without source-RPM)
make clean
nice ionice -c idle make -j4 binrpm-pkg
8. Install the kernel RPM package
rpm -Uvh /usr/src/packages/RPMS/x86_64/kernel-4.x.y_my1-....x86_64.rpm
9. Install necessary symbolic links for "dkms"
cd /lib/modules/4.x.y-my1
ln -sv /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my source
ln -sv /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my build
10. Update third-party modules (e.g. Nvidia driver):
dkms install -m nvidia -v 375.66 -k 4.x.y-my1
11. Cleanup
cd /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my
make clean
12. Select Grub configuration and reboot
grub2-once --list | less
grub2-once 2
reboot
Greetings,
Björn

Hi list,
speaking about software raid, not hardware controller based.
I am trying to go for some local OpenSuse machine and adding some
storage to it. Was considering Raid6, and now reading about a bit and
people left and right scaremongering about the larger the disks these
days in the double digit terabyte capacities even, the more likely it
is that during a reconstruction of a raid subsequent errors would
occur.
I would absolutely like to keep my data consistent, and I am not
thinking about double digit terabytes either, would stick to 2TB or
4TB disks, with Raid6 thats at least 4 physical drives.
Now I am wondering if it possible to use a good robust file system
that can add some more parity or check blocks or redundancy on top of
the hardware disks, to absolutely be able to always read my data.
I can't add multiple machines or like those high availability stuff
like clusters and what not I read about DRBD (Distributed Replicated
Block Device), or maybe I am just too scared by those technical terms
or consider myself to be just a simpleton and wanting to keep it
rather simple.
My use case here is also not constant availablity, when a disk needs
to be replaced, so be it, but I don't want to lose my data that I can
not ever read certain parts of it again or such stuff.
The thing that came to my mind was, if there is some file systems that
would add redundancy and robustness onto the mdraid system of the
linux kernel?
Anyone with some useful insights? Roughly speaking, I was considering
some simple pcie esata interfaced controller card and an external case
enclosure with esata port and portmulitplier stuff inside, that can
present at least 4 physical disks as JBOD, just a bunch of disks, so
that the Linux can seem them all separately.
Speed and rebuild times are not my concern, but data persistence and
data integrity. Not even number of physical disks, I could live with
even one of those 8 bay device enclosures and cases that are out there
on the market.
Thanks for any help and hints.

Just been emailed this link:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/49650/how-to-get-keycodes-for-xmod…
To quote this article:
Here you can see keycode 97 is unused on my system:
|keycode 94 = less greater less greater bar brokenbar keycode 95 = F11
XF86Switch_VT_11 F11 XF86Switch_VT_11 keycode 96 = F12 XF86Switch_VT_12
F12 XF86Switch_VT_12 keycode 97 = keycode 98 = Katakana NoSymbol
Katakana keycode 99 = Hiragana NoSymbol Hiragana |
The keycode X uses and the keycode the kernel uses are OFF BY 8 for
"historical reasons". So take 97 - 8 = 89 and use 89 with the
setkeycodes command (again as root):
So to make my vol - button work (xmodmap keycode 122 -8 = 114)
setkeycodes e01e 114
This has worked! I have re-mapped apl the buttons apart from my hotkeys.

Still looking for the keycodes for F13-16

this can't be the wanted behaviour for any removable storage devices?

Hi,
I just upgraded my asus laptop with intel/nvidia graphics from 42.1 to
42.3, all went well so far.
But when entering
prime-select nvidia
I get: ERROR unable to query GPU information
The script runs anyway, I guess, because when I reboot at some point the
screen with the boot messages begins to flicker heavily (I could not
read the last message...). I had to restart and boot to runlevel 3, then
entered "prime-sectect intel" and now I can boot normally - but of
course only using the intel card.
I don't know which information you need to help me: please ask and I'll
try to provide it.
Thanks for your help!
Daniel

On the odd chance that I was ignored for possibly hijacking a thread,
I shall start a new one but copy and paste my comments in hope of an answer:
(re: Killing ReiserFS)
I have been following this thread with some interest because of having
been running ReiserFS since before he turned homicidal. I have had zero,
count that ZERO, problems in all that time so I read with some dismay
the effort to actively kill its usage in this whatever-you-call-it distro.
I think that the more relevant question to ask is not "can we keep this
file system around, pretty please" but "what distros are allowing its
use by not actively trying to kill it"? I have used opensuse since
before Mandrake went away, which has been a while and, although I don't
really want to change distros, I am not married to suse (or leap, or
whatever).
I feel that what we have here with opensuse/leap is an example of the
classic "swing" cartoon which shows the stages of project development
from sales, engineering, installation and what the customer actually
wanted. My need is not as complex as some and for that ReiserFS works
quite well.
So, my question remains, "If not suse/leap, then who"?
Hopefully someone will know what distros allow the freedom to use
whichever FS one wishes without running afoul of the FS nazis.
