  • Kernel 6.12

    From Nux Vomica@nv@linux.rocks to comp.os.linux.advocacy on Tue Nov 19 21:16:25 2024
    From Newsgroup: comp.os.linux.advocacy

    Kernel 6.12 is out.

    My own automated build from source, including kernel header
    install, only required about 2.5 minutes.

    But then there was Nvidia. Gentoo emerge handles this but
    I still hold my breathe every time.

    It worked.

    Now I am cruisin' on 6.12.

    The only noteworthy difference, however, is that there are
    now four kernel preemption models:

    1) Server
    2) Desktop
    3) Desktop low-latency
    4) Real Time

    I chose #2 which is what I've been using all the time.

    There are other improvements that are not revealed through
    configure options.

    Get 6.12. Be there or be square.

    Lackey.

    Haaaaaaa, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

    Gentoo and LFS are the only GNU/Linux distros. All
    others are cheap imitations, just like costume jewelry.

    Well what's smatter, you fucking distro lackeys?

    This is a GNU/Linux group and I post a topical message
    and I get no fucking responses?

    You'd rather discuss ridiculous and meaningless things
    like the smell of your own fucking farts?

    Get the fuck outa here now!

    I want nothing but GNU/Linux discussions on this group.

    $ uname -a
    Linux lm 6.12.0 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Nov 19 11:11:40 PST 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

    Oddly enough, the beta drivers don't work with Linux 6.12 yet. I had
    to switch back to the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-550.135.run binary blob.

    Note that my distribution doesn't build the kernel for me, I have
    to do it myself.

    Lackey.

    Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha etc.

    Gentoo can build the kernel but I do not allow it to do so.

    Rather I use my own script. I just point it at the source
    tar ball and it does the rest:

    ...

    cd /tmp/src/linux
    mkdir -p /tmp/install/headers/$NEWDIR/usr
    make INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/tmp/install/headers/$NEWDIR/usr headers_install
    find /tmp/install/headers/$NEWDIR/usr/include \( -name .install -o -name ..install.cmd \) -delete

    cd /tmp/install/headers/$NEWDIR
    removetree kernel-headers-$OLDDIR
    if [ $? -eq 0 ]
    then
    checktree
    if [ $? -eq 0 ]
    then
    insttree kernel-headers-$NEWDIR
    else
    echo "Could not install"
    fi
    else
    echo "Could not remove"
    fi

    ...
