Ubuntu 12.04.05 LTS and Kernel 4.6
Ubuntu 12.04.05 LTS and Kernel 4.6
Hi!
I am wondering, will the Kernel 4.6 work with Ubuntu 12.04.05 LTS? I am currently using long-term stable 4.1.20. Will I note any major change using the new 4.6 Kernel?
Cheers!!
John

Some of this will depend on which version of gcc was used to build the kernel as some system calls have different names especially for C++ stuff, unless gcc was built from source using the older names for the calls that would match you distribution. More FUN.

I compile the kernels with the version 4.9.2 (Debian 4.9.2-21) of GCC.mechanic wrote:Some of this will depend on which version of gcc was used to build the kernel as some system calls have different names especially for C++ stuff, unless gcc was built from source using the older names for the calls that would match you distribution.

Since I'm not the Command-Line experienced guy. How do I get the version string of GCC from my install 12.04 LTS so I can judge whether or not to use 4.6?
<or>
Just do it! If it works, great! If not, go back to 4.1. Just load Kernel from CF Card and copy nothing to Ubuntu Directories, right?
Thanks,
John

You can get the version string with gcc --version. It's not necessary to copy the kernel modules directory to /lib/modules.jdupuis wrote:Hi mechanic and xeno74!xeno74 wrote:I compile the kernels with the version 4.9.2 (Debian 4.9.2-21) of GCC.mechanic wrote:Some of this will depend on which version of gcc was used to build the kernel as some system calls have different names especially for C++ stuff, unless gcc was built from source using the older names for the calls that would match you distribution.

When I do apt-get install gcc, with Lubuntu it wants to install gcc-5.xeno74 wrote:I compile the kernels with the version 4.9.2 (Debian 4.9.2-21) of GCC.mechanic wrote:Some of this will depend on which version of gcc was used to build the kernel as some system calls have different names especially for C++ stuff, unless gcc was built from source using the older names for the calls that would match you distribution.

So was Lubuntu 16.04 built with gcc 4.x or 5.x ?

Well, I guess this is as good of a time as any to ask:
Is it difficult to install 16.04?
I have the empty 1 TB SATA in my X1000 I took out of my Sam460ex. I think it's wanting (begging) for Ubuntu 16.04. I presume by some of the reads here that you have to have an installed working Linux to install 16.04 via Terminal. Is that right?
Thanks!
Cheers!!

No, it isn't.jdupuis wrote: Is it difficult to install 16.04?
Fantastic! You could copy Julian's NI image to the whole empty 1TB SATA HD if you like.jdupuis wrote: I have the empty 1 TB SATA in my X1000 I took out of my Sam460ex.
Yes, that's right. You could copy Julian's NI image to the whole empty 1TB SATA HD from your Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS.jdupuis wrote: I presume by some of the reads here that you have to have an installed working Linux to install 16.04 via Terminal. Is that right?
NI = Northern Islands Graphics cards (HD5000 and HD6000)
OK, here are the installation instructions:
- Download Julian's NI image with Ubuntu 12.04.5 from the following link: Ubuntu-Mate_16.04-X1000-NI-2.img.7z
- Decompress the downloaded image with 7-Zip
- Copy it with dd to the whole empty 1TB SATA HD on Ubuntu 12.04.5.
In my case /dev/sdb:Code: Select all
dd if=Ubuntu-Mate_16.04-X1000-NI-2.img of=disk drive ID
Code: Select all
dd if=Ubuntu-Mate_16.04-X1000-NI-2.img of=/dev/sdb
- The ROOT partition is very small. You can delete the Sam partition and increase the root partition with GParted if you like.
- Reboot your AmigaONE X1000 and press F to enter the CFE prompt.
- Next enter the following at the CFE> prompt (pressing enter after each line):
In my case:Code: Select all
setenv bootargs "root=the_ROOT_partition_on_your_1TB_SATA_HD quiet ro splash"
I use the stable longterm kernel 4.1.21 on my CF card to boot Ubuntu 16.04.Code: Select all
setenv bootargs "root=/dev/sdb2 quiet ro splash"
Code: Select all
boot -elf -noints -fatfs cf0:vmlinux-4.1
- The login details are as follows:
Username of amigaone has the password amigaone - You can create a boot menu entry if you like. Reboot your AmigaONE X1000 and press F to enter the CFE prompt.
- Next enter the following at the CFE> prompt (pressing enter after each line):
Code: Select all
CFE> setenv -p MENU_3_LABEL "ubuntu MATE 16.04 with kernel 4.1"
Code: Select all
CFE> setenv -p MENU_3_COMMAND 'set pmu -astate=A4 ; setenv bootargs "root=/dev/sdb2 quiet ro splash" ; boot -elf -noints -fatfs cf0:vmlinux-4.1'
- To activate the new Boot Menu type menu and use the arrow keys to select and highlight 3: ubuntu MATE 16.04 with kernel 4.1 before the timer bar runs down.

Hi xeno74,
sdb is my Unallocated SATA. Perfect! On my off-days Tomorrow and Monday, I'll take it for spin! Let you know how it works out.
Haven't had the courage to modify my CFE Menu yet. Still have the original unmodified SATA with AmigaKit's AOS4.1FE install used for initial setup unplugged and always on stand-by. That's my security blanket in case I have to pull myself out of a jam. It works!
Cheers!!
