Since today Pidgin stopped working and the workaround is to "refresh the SSL certificate".
Where is it stored?
Similar problem as reported by another user. While booting, the system can't find /dev/sda1 and so a "kernel panic: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0)" appears on screen.
I'm compiled & built kernel linux-2.6.32.25 on Ubuntu 10.04 running in VirtualBox virtual machine.
ps.: The update-initramfs, update-grub didn't work out for me.
After successfully compiling and building my mainline Kernel (2.6.32.25) under my Ubuntu 10.04 with these headers I was wondering: how to make this kernel on startup, so I can choose which one to boot?
I have GRUB2 (grup-install -v says: 'GNU GRUB 0.97') installed.
I tried this:
sudo make install
And got:
luky@ubuntu1004:/usr/src/linux-2.6.32.25$ sudo make install
sh /usr/src/linux-2.6.32.25/arch/x86/boot/install.sh 2.6.32.25 arch/x86/boot/bzImage \
System.map "/boot"
Here's my /boot folder:
luky@ubuntu1004:/boot$ ls
abi-2.6.32-24-generic System.map-2.6.32-24-generic
config-2.6.32-24-generic System.map-2.6.32.25
config-2.6.32.25 vmcoreinfo-2.6.32-24-generic
grub vmlinuz-2.6.32-24-generic
initrd.img-2.6.32-24-generic vmlinuz-2.6.32.25
memtest86+.bin
I would NOT like to have to manually change GRUB's config files.
So, I want to learn how to develop drivers for Linux.
And for that I heard it's recommended to use an unmodified kernel, since distributions can patch/change it a lot.
I downloaded Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid): http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-i386.iso.torrent
I found this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds
How do I know what's the most compatible kernel version for that Ubuntu release ?
I could not understand from the wiki page.
I just can't find a decent (and free) one. What can I use?
Are there good sources for learning how to write drivers for webcams, electronic devices and stuff for Linux? Besides reading the source code :P
