Makin susah nampaknya nak blog sejak akhir-akhir ni (ni pun cukupkan syarat je). Saya sempat menaik taraf kernel sempena dengan patch yang dikeluarkan untuk  menangani isu keselamatan. Patch tuxonice yang terkini pun nampaknya ok.

Linux an-nahl 2.6.24.2-adli #1 PREEMPT Mon Feb 11 18:50:30 MYT 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

Jika anda memuat turun source code Linux, cara untuk mengemaskini kernel dan membuat kerja-kerja penampalan :-)  ada di dalam directory Documentation  (Documentation/applying-patches.txt)

Jangan panik jika ini berlaku kepada anda (terutamanya jika ia berlaku 5 minit sebelum sesi pembentangan. Oops, aiseyman!

Yang di atas berlaku apabila saya cuba suspend ke disk sebelum pulang ke rumah. Nasib baik. Semua mungkin sudah sedia maklum yang project software suspend di suspend2.net sudah bertukar kepada TuxOnIce. Apa pun setelah mengenakan patch-2.6.23.9 dan tuxonice-3.0-rc3 semua kembali ok. Lega!

Before you get excited with kvm in the latest linux kernel (2.6.20) , please check whether your processor is supported

Shakir had 2.6.20 compiled by the time I spoke to him about it. This time I used the built-in ipw2200 and ieee80211 drivers. The only patch needed was suspend2. Everything is working as expected alhamdulillah

Linux an-nahl 2.6.20 #1 Sun Feb 11 14:36:29 MYT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

It’s also great to be home at last.

I decided to literally berhijrah to the latest stable kernel (2.6.19.2) on my Dell Latitude X1 yesterday. Migration is certainly needed as my deskmate at work (Yomud) has started using one of those Mac Powerbook.

adli@an-nahl:~$ uname -a
Linux an-nahl 2.6.19.2 #2 Fri Jan 19 19:46:49 MYT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux


Everything looks allright and you somehow get the feeling that your machine is faster (lol). The only weird thing is now my wifi interface is now called eth2_rename :

eth2_rename  IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"kamen_rider" 
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.442 GHz  Access Point: 00:11:95:9E:9F:D8  
          Bit Rate:36 Mb/s   Tx-Power=20 dBm   Sensitivity=8/0 
          Retry limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:0987-6ABC-DE   Security mode:open
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality=72/100  Signal level=-56 dBm  Noise level=-87 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

Initially I thought that I didn’t get the ipw2200 and ieee80211 sources compiled correctly. I didn’t have time to google this one yet, but if anyone out there have face similar situtation, please let me know

May the new year bring happiness and success for you in this world and the hereafter.

Assalammualaikum and very good day to everyone,

Linux kernel 2.6.18 has oficially got native real-time support thanks to the the work of Ingo Molnar (Red Hat) and Gleixner (TimeSys).  You can read about it here. It is a shame that the newly released Ubuntu Edgy Eft (today!) does not use this new kernel yet.   This is a good news for embedded developers and those using Linux for Multimedia application.

Two words describe the improvement,

                                                                       LINUX ROCKS!
