Ruby-2.6.8[.1/.2]?

[Zoltan B. <zb...@fr...>]

Dear Aivil,

now that Linux-2.6.8.1 is out and the fix to the most important bug,
namely a huge memleak during audio CD/SVCD writing is found and
Linux-2.6.8.2 is just around the corner, can we expect a ruby tree
against them? Or as there is a long weekend in Hungary, will you accept
my work if I volunteer?

Best regards,
Zolt=E1n B=F6sz=F6rm=E9nyi

[PATCH] Ruby-2.6.8.1, part1, was:Re: Ruby-2.6.8[.1/.2]?

[Zoltan B. <zb...@fr...>]

The list settings for attachments is set to 150K, so my work did not
get through. :-( I am sending it again, one patch at a time, compressed
with bzip2 insted of gzip. The first patch is against Linux-2.6.8.1.

I had time to make it, here is the result.
Two patches: one is against linux-2.6.8.1,
the other is against the ruby/ruby-2.6 CVS tree.

WARNING!

The FB changes were highly excessive between 2.6.7 and 2.6.8
and I don't really know the code there, so fbcon, et.al does not
even compile.

But the vgacon and dummycon consoles are working so multiple X servers
are possible. I am running it now.

I have a question: do you intend to push this thing into Linus' or
akpm's kernel? I would be happy to see this in -mm because there are
many changes again in 2.6.8.1-mm3 against the areas the Ruby tree
touches.

Best regards,

[PATCH] Ruby-2.6.8.1, part2, was:Re: Ruby-2.6.8[.1/.2]?

[Zoltan B. <zb...@fr...>]

The second patch is against the latest Ruby-2.6 CVS tree,
a.k.a Ruby-2.6.7.

Thank You. I will compare my and your code. I have my own version,
but without fbcon. fbcon will not work on my Voodoo3. If anyone can
start vanilla 2.6.8 fbcon, please drop a note to me.
Unfortunately a have not patience enough walk through changes,
which freezy all at start.
I have expirence, if fb low level driver is broken, then it never comes
back alive. After i will try vesafb-tng by spock.

I didn't try 2.6.8, but linux 2.6.8.1 works for me with fbcon
on a radeon card.  Zoltans ruby 2.6.8.1 compiles fine, except for the
fbcon module.  I can log in blind and start X though, so
it is useable.  X starting from a boot script works too.
Multiple framebuffers (mga+radeon) does not
work, I get a fb for the mga only.  Ruby 2.6.7 have the same problem.

Probably a broken fb driver then, linux 2.6.8.1 seems fine with the
radeon fb+fbcon.

Why not?  My experience is that 2.6 works well, but of course 2.4 have had
much more time to stabilize.  Getting ruby-2.6 into the 2.6.x-mm kernel
would be nice, there'd be much more testers and less to sync up against
with new releases.

I agree, for me 2.6 is looking very good. This is very cool stuff and
I'd love to see it merged into mainline, though I don't know how it
relates the "console re-architecture" plan? that's been talked about at
OLS and on various mailing lists.

Ruby-2.6.8

[Aivils <ai...@un...>]

Hi all!

	subject reach public cvs :)
fbcon will run only on my vesafb-tng. "multiuser" fbcon is untested.
fbcon is simplified because do not contain "multiheading".
Feel free and applay various subversions like .1 .2 and so on by yourself.

I applied ruby-2.6.8 on top of linux-2.6.8.1.  It compiled fine,
including fbcon which didn't compile in Zoltan's version.
I'll boot it later today, when I get home, we'll see how the
fbcon fares with two consoles.

i am getting compile errors here:

...
 CC      arch/i386/kernel/setup.o
arch/i386/kernel/setup.c: In function `parse_cmdline_early':
arch/i386/kernel/setup.c:661: error: `saved_command_line' undeclared (first use in this function)
arch/i386/kernel/setup.c:661: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
arch/i386/kernel/setup.c:661: error: for each function it appears in.)
In file included from arch/i386/kernel/setup.c:1380:

make[2]: *** [arch/i386/kernel/setup.o] Error 1

i guessed it was my large memory support causeing this, but
disabling that option did not fix it.

does anyone else see this? how do i avoid it?

Multiuser fbcon failed.  The pc just sat there, the framebuffers loaded
but no consoles.  The keyboard that usually gets the first console
responded to the numlock/capslock keys.  The other keyboard was
completely dead.  Seems it hung after attaching the first keyboard,
before attaching the second.  sysrq+B worked on the "working" keyboard,
not the other.

Seems linux-ruby is more half-complete as ordinarily :(
In the office space computer with Intel 82845 / nVidia [GeForce4 MX 440]
hardware linux-ruby behave as You describe above.
