Vinny: Update to vbox came through yesterday and dkms built it without errors.

[vinnywright]

I can't get the 4.10 kernel from Ubuntu - not the mainline kernel, the regular ppa - to build dkms modules. Gives me this:

ERROR (dkms apport): kernel package linux-headers-4.10.0-14-generic is not supported

well ,,,,last night , I tryed the -edge package from the repo ,,,,,I did it the smae way I did the linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04 install ,,,,and found (MY) mistake ,,,,,

this time I slowed down some , I can be quick to hit that enter key sometimes , I ran simulations of the install first yes that would be a good practice to keep .

and looked at it ,,,,,,,, what ,, wheres the headers ,,,,,,,,you need headers to build modules rite.

I look closer and more thoroughly through the package search ,,,,and find

well I did not think that it would not be a dependency of the kernel package ,,,,,,yes I should have known better , in my haste was thinking "meta package" not just "pointer to the latest"

That looks better

now remove the -s ,,,,,,,,install ,,,,reboot ,,,,, select this Kernel (the 4.10.9-041009-generic is seen by grub as beeng the newest , so default) ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and

vinny@vinny-Bonobo-Extreme:~$ uname -a
Linux vinny-Bonobo-Extreme 4.10.0-14-generic #16~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 17 17:28:20 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

all is good

Weeeeellllllll ,,,ya I installed that manualy from the mainline last night ,,,,,,,

AND on that note ,,,,it seemed to fix a quirk I was having with the wireless dropping in and out IF a wired connection was running as well ,,,,,, I have 2 wireless access points configured ,,,,,I had 1 active , and the wired connection ,,,, the 1 wireless would "time out" and the second would kick in ,,,, few more minutes that one would "time out" and the first one would kick in , and on and on and on ,,,,,,,,installed the 4.10 kernel and it quit.

VINNY

spoke to quick on this point ,,,,the wireless dropouts are still hear IF both the hard wire and wireless are active/connected,,,,,,,the system is right in doing it though I think as traffic is sent to the hard wire if it's plugged in and I'm not forcing in some way for them both to be used ,,,,so the wireless is idle and should be "timed out" I guess.

Yeah, I installed all the needed stuff - headers, hwe, and extras. It built Nvidia and bbswitch but not virtualbox. Oddly, after checking the dkms make logs all three dkms builds threw errors but only virtualbox didn't install. I suspect if I rebooted into 4.10 it would be a mess. I'm gonna wait it out I think.

5.33 is working great on my box!

I can't get the 4.10 kernel from Ubuntu - not the mainline kernel, the regular ppa - to build dkms modules. Gives me this:

ERROR (dkms apport): kernel package linux-headers-4.10.0-14-generic is not supported

I got mine @hear http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,this one ,,,, http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.10.9/

where are yours coming from ?

I had that problem with the last "regular" update to 4.8.0.45 (regular for the linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04) ,,,,,and I red in a post @hear that the kernel scheduler "cfq"was better than "deadline" in the 4.10 + series kernels ,,,,,and on MY box ,,,it seems that "cfq" is the default.

so when I booted to the dreaded black screen after the installation of the 4.8.0.45 and discovered that the Nvidia module did not build I removed the installation of linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04 which would be the 4.8.0.46 now ,,,,,,,,then red the post about "cfq" and said what the heck

now I see that their is a linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04-edge ,,that is the 4.10.0.14.11 kernel ,,,,,,,,is that what you installed ?

I wander if it missed the linux-headers-4.10.0-14-generic-all package or the "extras" if it was the http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main one

VINNY

EDIT: O heck I'm going to try the linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04-edge one and see what happens ,,,,,,,,,,,,,<masochist>

Well, I'm running the KDE neon Developer Unstable Edition, and the kernel Vinny is showing is 'newer' than mine, and he is on the Stable Edition!
