Never call kfree() in a device driver again
Hi all, Ah, I just wanted to tell you that I'll hold a talk about managed resource allocation in the Linux kernel, in Haifux on May 26th. Abstract: http://www.haifux.org/lectures/323 Besides, there's currently no talk scheduled after that. So it's a good opportunity to get a slot as close as June 9th! See you all, Eli -- Web: http://www.billauer.co.il ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
Upgrading Ubuntu from 12.04 to 14.04
Hi people, I work at my job with Ubuntu 12.04 and we run Django 1.4.12 locally with Python 2.7.3 and PostgreSQL. We want to upgrade Django from 1.4 to 1.6 and I also thought it would be a good idea to upgrade Python to 2.7.6 and maybe even 3, so I tried to upgrade Ubuntu to 14.04. But after I completed the upgrade, Django didn't work and I couldn't even run migrations (with South). I had to reinstall Ubuntu 12.04 and I lost all the files I had in my home directory (because I chose not to keep Ubuntu 14.04) except some files that I backed up. My questions are: 1. What do we need to do in order for Django to work with Ubuntu 14.04? 2. Why isn't it possible to reinstall Ubuntu 12.04 after upgrading to 14.04 and still keep all the files in my home directory, while not keeping all the other files (the operating system files)?

Re: Upgrading Ubuntu from 12.04 to 14.04
Thank you, it's a good idea. At work my home directory is not in a separate partition so it's not kept if I reinstall Ubuntu. Do you know how I can create a partition and move it to a separate partition?

Re: Upgrading Ubuntu from 12.04 to 14.04
I don't believe it is possible for a user to create a partition. Of course that is more of a brain-fart on my part, because it's not so useful to your situation. Gparted should be able to resize unmounted ext3/4 partitions, and from there you can create a new partition, copy your /home directory there and edit /etc/fstab to point to the new partition. I found these release notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes, but it looks rather short, and doesn't mention django. Fortunately django has its own release notes here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/releases/ which should help with the upgrade. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, I've never used django. -Efraim On Thu, 15 May 2014 16:00:00 +0300 Uri Even-Chen u...@speedy.net wrote: Thank you, it's a good idea.

Re: Never call kfree() in a device driver again
Hi, Thanks for the invitation. However I think I'll stick to only Haifux this time. I like it when it's 10 minutes from home. ;) Regards, Eli On 15/05/14 19:19, Shlomi Fish wrote: Hi Eli, On Thu, May 15, 2014 at 1:25 PM, Eli Billauer e...@billauer.co.il wrote: Hi all, Ah, I just wanted to tell you that I'll hold a talk about managed resource allocation in the Linux kernel, in Haifux on May 26th.
