[Bug 1695736] Re: fails to run: support missing from kernel

2017-06-06 Thread Adam Dingle
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

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

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

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
