[opensuse] kernel upgrade on Suse10.2
On my laptop, an older modell Thinkpad I have a freshly installed 10.2 Kernel 2.6.13-15.16-default. In order to use acpi and be able to suspend etc. etc. If I use acpi with this kernel I am not able to use my network card. With acpi=off the card works but sensors does not give any usefull info about temperatures and fan. I found out that I should upgrade to >2.6.20 to have things my way. My first try the instalation of 2.6.20 did noy work because some dependencies where not right or errors like that. Is there a place where I could get a Suse 10.2 kernel rpm which works out of the package. Where would I have to steer Smart in order to get such a feat done? Or shall I just wait for 10.3? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You could try http://jengelh.hopto.org/p/suser-jengelh/ , but also be aware that slurping in some packages might change their look (which is what seems to statistically confuse some.)

Hi ! I have few questions regarding Jan Engelhardt's latest kernel upgrade for SuSE 10.2 1) Does it include (or plan to include) new CFS scheduler? 2) Are there any other packages to be upgraded after installation of kernel-default-2.6.22.2-ccj52.i586.rpm? 3) Why nVidia OpenGL drivers are being installed into /usr/X11R6 instead of /usr/lib/xorg/modules/? 4) Is there AppArmor module compiled into the kernel package, or one need to install it manually? Thanks in advance Andrei -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

No, patching schedulers has caused me pain in the past (since SUSE patches conflicted with SD for example).
2) Are there any other packages to be upgraded after installation of kernel-default-2.6.22.2-ccj52.i586.rpm?
On upgrade (i.e. removal of old kernel), your package manager should automatically jump at the KMPs. If you only install (i.e. keep the old kernel), it depends on your package manager whether it will recognize the Enhances: rpm tags in the KMPs and automatically add them.
3) Why nVidia OpenGL drivers are being installed into /usr/X11R6 instead of /usr/lib/xorg/modules/?
In order to not clash with the Mesa libGL libraries, the nvidia rpm, when first published, used a neat little trick in that it placed the nvidia GL libs in a higher-priority search directory. /usr/X11R6/lib has such higher priority over usr/lib, as you can see in /etc/ld.so.conf. Since /usr/lib/xorg is not listed in etc/ld.so.conf, it is not searched *at all*, hence, the Mesa libs would win. So if you think, the missing /usr/lib/xorg is a bug, report it.
4) Is there AppArmor module compiled into the kernel package, or one need to install it manually?
It is included. Jan -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

And "plan to include": not before 2.6.23, but once I consider it stable enough (and worthwhile enough to package it :-)), yes. Jan -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

That is a very old kernel.

Add the following URL to SMART (or YAST) and you get the latest kernel and a lot of other updates for 10.2 as well. http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/suse/update/10.2/ -- Erwin Lam (erwin.lam@gmx.net) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Something wrong with that. 10.2 shipped with 2.6.19 I'm pretty sure. 2.6.13 would be from opensuse 10.1 The big issue is udev. udev changed fairly significantly between 10.1 (2.6.13) & 10.2 (2.6.19). So double check what you really have, before you try to go forward.

2.6.18.x actually. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Greg, You are completely right. The kernel I mentioned was the kernel in use for the Suse 10.0 which I tried to improve with a 2.6.20 kernel. Gave up and installed on a second partition 10.2 which runs 2.6.18.8.-0.5-default. Caffeine level down.
