Please Close -2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers.

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

wi-fi switch works for now (I don't think that's a very useful function), but there's still no LED indication. And that's 'cause I said "no difference".

Some words from developer of acer-wmi:

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

Hello all,

Please bear with me as I'm still getting to grips with Ubuntu / Linux. I have installed 8.10 and the Kernel Image. All works fine but I get no sound other than crackling. I have played around with the sound properties on the task bar at the top and also in system settings.

Can anyone advise what I need to do. If it involves the edit that is posted in sickboys original post, how do I make the edit? Is that in the terminal or somewhere else.

Sorry if these are total numpty questions.

Thanks
B

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

Hello there, i have been testing this kernel extensively.
It managed to get my 14 second to 9 second boot
But i am having some severe issues with X on my AAO. every time i run X even with the recommended xorg config and drivers my system ( only 512 mb ram because i want kuki to run on lowest specs possible and no swap ) completely stalls for a large period of time.
Also sickboy, i would like to have your help on kernel development. is it possible? add me on msn / XMPP you have my contact on PM.
As for the Repo. i can provide it without problems

Kind Regards.

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

I have no wifi with this kernel or before. Before I had the backports installed, it worked for one day, then I came home and it wasn't working. I tried a variety of options, then found this kernel, installed. Still not working.

Anyone have any ideas? I've tried flicking the switch a hundred times, but I have no idea if it's working... No LED.

Please help! I'm tired of being tied down.

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

LED doesn't work with ath5k module
To see if module is loaded:

Code:

 lsmod | grep ath5k

To see if it's active:

Code:

iwconfig wlan0

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

Nothing happens with the first command, so apparently it's not loading? And as for the second, no device found.

I'm confused as to how I could have switched it off from one day to the next...

Thanks for your help!

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

If ath5k isn't loaded, the second command won't find the device. Let's see which kernel you're actually running:

Code:

uname -r

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

I'm running the 2.6.28-rc8-custom-aa1, which is this one, right? From the posts I read, it's supposed to have the ath5k work out of the box, right? Should I try to run the madwifi ones?

This is the first time I'm doing anything above install-and-use linux on my Desktop, so thanks a ton for the help.

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

Can anyone advise on this. I'm really stuck! Any advice much appreciated.

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

Hi there, try to do this.
lsmod -l | grep -i ath5k if not there then.
modprobe -l | grep ath -> do you see it?
what's the output?

sound question : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne110L#Audio have you check this info on the official ubuntu page?

Regards.

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

Hey there!
For the first one, Usage: lsmod, and for the second: /lib/modules/2.6.28-rc8-custom-aa1/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/ath5k.ko
which means that it's there, but just not running?

I followed some steps on the Ubuntu wiki (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiD ... er/Atheros) to see if it was blacklisted anywhere and it wasn't.

Thanks again for the help!

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

First one should be

Code:

lsmod | grep ath

If it find ath5k (which it should), then you've got the proper module loaded
If it's not loaded, try

Code:

sudo modprobe ath5k

Once ath5k module is loaded, the following should work:

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart
nm-applet

[/code]

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

Neither found ath5k, so I tried installing "linux-backports-modules-intrepid" but it was there, no need to upgrade. Is there another way to get ath5k?

Thanks again for the help.

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

If sudo modprobe ath5k didn't do it, I don't know what will.
Try this:

Code:

ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.28-rc7-ultimate/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath5k

If it doesn't show a file that starts out ath5k and ends in .ko, then your installation of the kernel is bead and it needs to be reinstalled

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

I've used the ath5k driver once and I think I enabled it in the restricted drivers section of the system menu. I also disabled other possibilities.

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

Didn't find the file. I'll try reinstalling the kernel.

Edit: Reinstall and rebooting, still no luck. I'm going to try to get madwifi working.

Thanks for the help guys, at this point I'm willing to try any ideas you've got.

Edit2: I can't get madwifi working. I'm going to reinstall ubuntu and this kernel again without doing anything in between (like last time) and hope it works. If it doesn't, I don't know what I'll do... I'll report back hopefully tomorrow.

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

FYI 2.6.28 release is out, just in time for Christmas.

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

A reinstall of ubuntu and the kernel works. Thanks for everyones help, I've got no idea what I did last time, but I didn't do it this time.

Much thanks for this wonderful kernel!

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

Ive got no clue what it is about the netbook that I have, I havea ZG5 and this kernel breaks the ability to read SD cards. I did a fresh Ubuntu install of 8.10 desktop, than I ran the two kernel packages on the first page.

When I reboot, a tail -f /var/syslog shows an Error -84 initialising the SD card. I've also tried this kernel on other builds of ubuntu with the same issues. My car is /dev/mmcblk0 but with this kernel, or rc7, I have errors.

Any ideas?

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

Is the card you're trying an SDHC card or just a regular SD card? I have no problems with regular SD cards, but the SDHC card give (I think) the same error you mentioned and won't mount it. I have no idea why as the stock 8.10 kernel reads the SDHC just fine.
