Kernel update – 2.6.15.1

Byetzion 03/03/2006

Alongside a newer kernel, I’m enjoying a newer Software Suspend2 package. I am not crazy about betas, or RCs, so now I’m on the 2.2 stable. I have hibernated only once since I’ve upgraded kernel, but it went just fine on the first try, so I’m rather ok with it without setting a set of cover-it-all tests.

Here’s my kernel config, if anyone’s interested – config-2.6.15.1.txt

Also, you can get the latest swsusp2 and fbsplash from the right places, as described in my post here. It’s good I use this blog – it keeps my memories for me.

Byetzion 19/03/2007

I have been extremely busy for the last few weeks and couldn’t find time to update my blog, so apologies are in place. I am sorry, and I will add later this week several tips and tricks about BASH scripting, which might save time and effort for those of you who use if for more…

Ad-hoc remote backups to tape

Byetzion 19/07/2009

I have a nice SCSI tape connected to a single server. This allows for on-demand backups, with the hope (and seldom, with the established knowledge) that I can recover the data I have there. Old computers, decommissioned computers and systems I wish to erase and reuse are seldom backed-up, just because of the effort in…

Correction of a small but annoying error

Byetzion 19/04/200719/12/2023

For some reason (probably a typo) I’ve missed an important character in an example I gave here, but I have just recently fixed it. Anyhow, to clarify this, here is the extended description of the correction. The $IFS Bash system variable defines what is the default separator between strings. Changing it can help when dealing…

Build ZFS on OEL with UEK7

Byetzion 07/05/202307/05/2023

ZFS version 2.1.11 is supposed to work correctly with Oracle UEK 7. However, on update (and later – a reboot) – it broke. The driver cannot build using dkms, and the error message is something like this: If you look into /boot/config-`uname -r` output, and look for CONFIG_MODULES string, you will indeed find that it…

Painful upgrade from Edgy x86_64 to Feisty x86_64

Byetzion 24/06/2007

If it works, don’t touch it. This is one of my mottoes. I have broken this rule just yesterday when I decided that I was too lazy to install Pidgin from source, and decided I wanted it to be installed directly from deb. Unfortunately, there was no pidgin deb for Edgy. None that I was…

SecureBoot and VirtualBox kernel modules

Byetzion 01/06/201919/01/2022

Installing VirtualBox on Ubuntu 18 (same as for modern Fedora Core) with SecureBoot will result in the following error when running the command /sbin/vboxsetup The error message would be something like this: There were problems setting up VirtualBox. To re-start the set-up process, run /sbin/vboxconfig as root. If your system is using EFI Secure Boot…
