Master Kernel Thread

[dannyboy79]

Hi - I tried this but:


...and when trying to install:

What else can I try? Thnx for your help.

well you could use xconfig like the guide suggests here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...ompile+kernels

or you could try to install the packages, it's telling you which ones it's missing. when you do a search and those exact criteria return results, you should always remove a little and try search again, when I do
sudo aptitude search libglade, I get all this libglade-cil - CLI binding for the Glade libraries

i libglade2-0 - library to load .glade files at runtime
p libglade2-dev - development files for libglade
p libglade2-ruby - Libglade 2 bindings for the Ruby language

p libgladexml-perl - Perl module for the libglade library

so maybe try to install libglade2-0? then try again. just do the same for each thing. it's not like installing this stuff will take up tons of room.you can also write down what you install in case you want to remove it if it didn't help, you can always run a simulation also before you do the final final install of a package, to make sure it's not going to bring down tons of dependencies, so that command is
sudo aptitude -s install libglade2-0
it will go thru it's normal thing BUT not install it, just tell you what it will install if you don't use the -s (simulate) option. Good luck

Thanks a lot, dannyboy. I'll give it a try as soon as I have more time. Will let you know.

Does kernel 21 support the iwlwifi driver for Intel Wireless 4965?

I read that it works with 21 or when 22 is released and I don't want to recompile if internet will still not work.

[coffeecat]

xyz, it's libglade2-dev you want. I had the same problem as you and libglade2-dev pulled in a handful of dependencies and then I was able to run 'gksudo make gconfig' OK.

I can't stand menuconfig I always get lost.

Thnx for replying. OK I got libglade2-dev and ran gksudo make gconfig. Here is part of the output I got back:

Any thoughts?

Think that it may possibly make 2.6.22 from some posts on lkml.org.
You can always try it out now if you'd like, no need to recompile your kernel to build the driver and install the associated bits and pieces: http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi

[matt221984]

It might be useful to note in the first post that the Nvidia driver wont compile on the 2.6.21 kernel if you have Paravirtualization Support enabled in the kernel.

I didnt read this entire thread to see if it had been mentioned or not, but you can read up on the bug in this thread:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...ol#post2306826

If you uncheck Paravirtualization Support under Processor type and features when configuring the kernel you will be able to compile the nvidia driver when you boot that custom kernel.

I was effected by this bug and it seems to only exist in the .21 kernel.

I wrote:

Before all: thanks for the thread! The mehod using

make-kpkg

works ok.

BUT:

the problem with this method is that everytime you rebuild a kernel, you have to do a

make-kpkg clean

, ...

Well, I managed to find a solution. Building and installing vanilla kernel without using make-kpkg.
I've put it on my wiki, here:

I too had the same problem with Nvidia Drivers using envy. The steps from brent.stephens worked great for me:

1. Go to your source location and run make menuconfig
2. Under "Processor type and features" turn "Paravirtualization Support" OFF
3. Exit and save the config.
4. Run make prepare
5. Re-run the NVIDIA Installer
6. Profit.
