I wonder why the suse packages does not ship the nvidia-installer. It 
should be able to rebuild the kernel module for other installed 
kernels.

See the man page, which is installed :)

$ man nvidia-installer
 -K, --kernel-module-only
 Install  a  kernel  module  only,  and do not uninstall the
 existing driver. 
 -k KERNEL-NAME, --kernel-name=KERNEL-NAME
 Build  and  install  the  NVIDIA  kernel module for the non-running
 kernel specified by KERNEL-NAME

This is how you would use the installer:

$ sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.96 -x
$ cd NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.96
$ ./nvidia-installer -K -k 3.12.53-40-desktop

Pity that the damn installer does not want to work against the rpm 
installation because it makes stupid sanity checks.


Anyways it should also be possible to only build the module using make
$ NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.96/kernel
$ make install whatever_options

I've played around with make but couldn't find the right options to let 
it find the right kernel sources, config etc. I'm sure that I had 
managed that in past.

Rudi

Re: [Evergreen] 13.1 kernel update to 3.12 (SLES 12 SP1 level) ready for test

2016-03-11 Thread Ronny Peine
Hello Evergreen Team,

the update to the new 3.12 kernel went fine here on different intel
machines with different intel generations and one with fglrx driver. No
problems experienced so far and everything seems fine.
Big thank you for your good work:)

Kind regards,
Ronny

When the package manager wants to install a 32 bit package on a 64 bit
installation it typically is because it doesn't find a 64 bit solution.
Some wanted 64 bit rpm does not exist on the repos.

Re: [Evergreen] 13.1 kernel update to 3.12 (SLES 12 SP1 level) ready for test

2016-03-10 Thread Patrick Schaaf
I noticed an issue that somebody might want to look into (or not).

On our production kvm virtual machines, we really run a self built
kernel provided by the kvm host system; the installed kernel in the
virtual machine is dormant. A long time ago I tried to uninstall
kernel-default, but was forced by dependencies to install another
kernel-*. Finally I arrived at having kernel-vanilla installed on all
the VMs.

Now, when updating (zypper dup) with the 3.12 update, zypper tells me
that in addition to kernel-vanilla, kernel-pae needs to be installed.
I don't even have kernel-pae in my repo mirrors, because I exclude all
the non-x86_64 stuff there.

I can workaround this with "zypper in kernel-default -kernel-vanilla",
after that, the kernel-pae is no longer required.

Maybe I'll have a close look at the dependencies, and build myself an
empty kernel-dummy RPM. Any hints on what dependencies such a package
would need to declare (so that the published kernel-* packages would
no longer be required?)

best regards
  Patrick

Ok, a little bit late but nothing big.

I upgraded today to kernel 3.12.53-40-default today on an old laptop
(Acer TravelMate 2300 from 2003).
The boot will not finish, because it generates several hundred of lines
wistron_btns: Unknown key code 10

So I booted the earlier kernel (3.11.10-34-default).
If modprobe manually wistron_btns the same happens.

So I blacklisted wistron_btns in /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf
and now everything is fine.

Thx for all the work,
Carsten

Yes, any third party module needs to be rebuilt. On the other hand, once
it is built for the 3.12 kernel, there should be no need for further
rebuilds on future updates.

I'm going to ask SCSI guys for an opinion; what is confusing is the
driver is the same as in SLE12-SP1 and almost the same as in mainline
4.4 kernel. It might be something trivial - and it might also be a bug
affecting SLE12-SP1.

There is also bsc#966831 but that is not a regression either. It's going
to be fixed with next update.

Thank you.

A general note: if anybody is going to report a bug for the 3.12 kernel,
please add me to Cc (my bugzilla account is mkube...@suse.com).

Thanks for all your feedback.

negative points were:
NVIDIA - That "hard way" is needed is to be expected.
aacraid - Not many people use it and it did not clearly turn out to be a 
regression.

Otherwise it seemed all good.

I just released the kernel update to 3.12.53.

Yes, with the kernel currently only "hard way" for NVIDIA will work, as
the KMPs are built against the old kernel.

That is so, I had to use "the hard way".

https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_the_hard_way

I also had to manually blacklist nouveau, or it insisted in loading
and caused nvidia to crash. And do not forget to run mkinitrd.

Previous to that, I "prepared" the kernel sources:

echo -e "\n-- cloneconfig --" && make cloneconfig && \
  echo -e "\n-- scripts --" && make scripts && \
  echo -e "\n-- prepare --" && make prepare && \
  echo -e "\n-- Done good! --"

After that, it seems to run alright.

FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:


I guess that installing the driver the "hard way" would work, perhaps 
I'll try later.


On text mode console, I get some weird effects with redrawing the screen 
with Alpine (it is what I'm using to compose this), but 'mc' seems fine.



I have also tried a laptop with Intel video, seems to work better. Tried 
hibernation, no problem there.

Mine is G03.

nvidia-glG03-331.79-27.1.x86_64

I will probably have to use the .run

I'm personally using a local rebuild of the actual rpm and they work nicely 
with.
G04 .

It could be possible for myself to share the result, but I will only do it for 
G04
version, any oldies is out of my scope, as I will not have hardware to test it.

This reminder me to perhaps also have a special rebuild for fglrx.

I have tried the 3.12 kernel on two machines. One machine is a desktop box
with an Intel Core i5-4670 CPU and AMD fglrx driver installed. Have been
working on this machine all day yesterday without any problems. The other
machine is an Acer laptop with an i5-4200 and Intel graphics. On this
machine the 3.12 kernel actually works better than the 3.11 kernel. Intel
graphics driver is much better, no graphics glitches under GNOME and even
backlight control works now.

Do you remember what was the last working version? The aacraid has been 
backported for SLE12-SP1 so that the version in the evergreen 13.1 
kernel differs from current mainline only in 2 or 3 commits which do not 
seem very important.

I'm not really an expert in this area but it looks like an IRQ is 
received and handled before all the device data structures are set up 
properly (a pointer which is still null is dereferenced).

I haven't had time, but have been running
repositories/home:/mkubecek:/evergreen-13.1/openSUSE_13.1/'s 3.12 kernels on
most of my 13.1 installations too long to remember, something like 16-20
months maybe? If not, then at least since last July. Most made it to 3.12.51
before I saw this thread's announcement.

I used it since weeks perhaps months (was using the home:mkuebeck) 
and it work great in most of my cases and hardware around.

AMD FX8350 + nvidia blob as desktop (high 3d usage / kde 4.x)
AMD FX8350 as server with adaptec raid 8805 
AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2431 + adaptec raid 5805 8x 1To nearline raid6
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1620 v2 @ 3.70GHz + LSI MegaRaid 1 (2x400G intel ssd + 
2x 2To HSGD)
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz + 8x 2T Seagate raid soft mdadm 
(web/mail/postgresql/kvm)
AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 250 Processor (high throughput firewall)
AMD A10-5800K APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics + adaptec 5800 with 8x 2To WDC 
(raid6) + 8x4To Seagate (raid6 soft) + 10Gbps network intel card
(heavy io : backup)

But on two machines : having an adaptec raid controleur 6805 I'm getting a 
kernel backtrace 
(sorry no time until today to report it correctly)
Which is curious, I was using during a certain time a kernel 4x series on 
them
Not a big deal for myself, but can be really tricky to recover from ...

We were able to capture some informations, 
https://dav.ioda.net/index.php/s/4wyMDlKot3Z1F8w

It is not easy to play with those servers, I've only a small free timeframe ...
It seems our controler are missing a firmware update which will be make next 
tuesday night.

Tested today on some AMD based desktops, and a Lenovo T410 laptop. Everything 
fine there.
