[Bug 1695736] Re: fails to run: support missing from kernel
Zesty has version 4.10.0 of the Linux kernel and yes, it appears that BLCR supports only up to 3.7.1, as mentioned at http://crd.lbl.gov/departments/computer-science/CLaSS/research/BLCR/ So yes, presumably the BLCR packages should be removed altogether, at least until BLCR is updated to support more modern kernels. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1695736 Title: fails to run: support missing from kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/blcr/+bug/1695736/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1695736] Re: fails to run: support missing from kernel
Adam, Lack of a blcr-dkms package in Zesty likely means that BLCR does not support kernels as new as used in this distro (unless it has been renamed?). Unfortunately, that means no BLCR. So, I am surprised that the other blcr packages are distributed at all. I am the "upstream" for BLCR, but I cannot answer for how BLCR is being packaged for Zesty. Hopefully the package maintainer (Alan Woodland, IIRC) will respond at some point. -Paul -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1695736 Title: fails to run: support missing from kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/blcr/+bug/1695736/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

There is no such package in 17.04 (Zesty).

[Bug 1695736] Re: fails to run: support missing from kernel
Adam, Is the blcr-dkms package installed? That is the ubuntu package containing the kernel modules. FWIW: blcr-dkms is not listed as dependency for the blcr package because that would create an unwarranted dependency for multiple MPI packages which are built with BLCR support but most frequently used without BLCR. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1695736 Title: fails to run: support missing from kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/blcr/+bug/1695736/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

- I tried rebooting and running cr_checkpoint again, and I got the same error. - "lsmod | grep blcr" produces no output. - "sudo modprobe blcr" yields this: modprobe: FATAL: Module blcr not found in directory /lib/modules/4.10.0-21-generic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1695736 Title: fails to run: support missing from kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/blcr/+bug/1695736/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1695736] Re: fails to run: support missing from kernel
Adam, This error indicates that the kernel modules for BLCR are not loaded. Unless something has changed recently in the packaging for BLCR, the kernel modules should be loaded automatically at boot. However, if you have not rebooted since the install, they might not be. Is you run "/sbin/lsmod | grep blcr" do you see any output? If not, "modprobe blcr" as root will hopefully resolve the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1695736 Title: fails to run: support missing from kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/blcr/+bug/1695736/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
