Pardon the interruption, but are you saying that you need to use a binary blob for a mouse? A mouse? What kinds of a mouse needs a binary blob driver? I have a bluetooth gaming mouse which has 5 or 6 different drivers to provide all the functionality the mouse is capable of, and all of these drivers are linked into the kernel. The mouse is a Razor Orochi. The problem is that there is absolutely no guarantee whatsoever insofar as API and ABI compatibility across Linux kernel versions. Internal APIs between major internal kernel components don't change much, over time. But when it comes to things like low-level device drivers, you've got no guarantees that the same source can be compiled against the next kernel release, unchanged. The only way to guarantee that a particular driver's code will compile with the next kernel is for that driver to be a part of the mainline kernel. That's not an absolute, 100% guarantee, but it's the best that can be hoped for. If you have a particular driver that was built for a particular kernel version, but it's not part of the mainline kernel itself, maybe it will still compile and work properly against the next kernel version, or maybe it will not. And if it doesn't, there is no magic button one can push, or one some magic rpm can be installed, to make it compile. One will have to look the actual compilation error, look at the previous kernel's source, look at the current kernel's source, figure out what's changed, and figure out what needs to be changed, in the driver's source, to update it to your current kernel's version. For your use case, Fedora is not going to work very well, with new kernel version updates almost every week. Practically, you should be using Linux distribution with a stable kernel, that will backport any bug fixes to its stable kernel version; like Centos/RHEL or Ubuntu LTS. That's what those distros are for: to provide a stable kernel for the lifetime of the release, that third party hardware OEM can target their custom kernel drivers for. pgpg4eRrthdNp.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/TV7RCD33TUVXJ5JVNZ7T3OP3KKJCSULM/

Uhm, did you get the libstdc++-devel RPM installed? It provides the stdarg.h file, specifically: /usr/include/c++/8/tr1/stdarg.h Checking an old F26 VM I have, the equivalent file is: /usr/include/c++/7/tr1/stdarg.h I believe the C compiler will find it if it's installed. Even if it does appear to be installed, a "dnf reinstall libstdc++-devel" should clean up any cruft your messed-up install may have left. -- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigitalri...@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - -- -- ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/3FCAGQ7JBS6CRCWMYKM5OZZ4A5IYST54/

Try "dnf system-upgrade log". I issued that command and all it did was tell me there were 6 boots that appeared to have upgrade logs, going right back to the upgrade I did of F23 to F24, but the names it listed were meaningless to me and it didn't provide any path references to where I might find the logs to be able to search them. Each line has a number at the front. Run "dnf system-upgrade log --number=n" to see the corresponding log. Booting into the latest F27 kernel I have installed which is 4.17.3-100, where both drivers have previously successfully compiled and installed (which is how I'm able to send this email), the mouse drivers still compile but the usb device driver fails to compile. Both with the F28 kernel, being 4.17.3-200, and the F27 kernel I mentioned, the compile fails with stdarg.h not found, so I'm now confused about what the F28 upgrade has done. The F28 upgrade should not have updated the F27 kernel source that was already installed and hence there should not be any barriers to compiling the driver against the F27 kernel when under F27 it did compile. Why don't the drivers for the previous kernels still exist? The upgrade shouldn't have removed them. The upgrade will have replaced the -headers package which is what the drivers will compile against. You could try replacing it with an earlier -headers package version, but I doubt that's the problem. This is why I strongly avoid hardware that requires out-of-tree drivers... However, this might be the solution: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723bu/issues/106 ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/EXUSTLVYFZ2GXOPATJWR7DHYU4HZAMLM/

Following your suggestion I ran a sudo dnf upgrade which produced all the conflict messages that I worked around by adding --allowerasing and --skip-broken, but this time dnf said to try --best and --allowerasing, which I did and that installed all the package updates that caused the conflicts. Having done this I was able to complete the upgrade to F28, but now I have big problems. Under F28 my USB network device doesn't work because dkms can't compile the driver for it, and, either because of this failure or a compile failure the drivers for my mouse haven't been installed by dkms either. Booting into the latest F27 kernel I have installed which is 4.17.3-100, where both drivers have previously successfully compiled and installed (which is how I'm able to send this email), the mouse drivers still compile but the usb device driver fails to compile.
