 |
|
Hi,
I'm try to get the Berlios' software suspend to work on my kernel (2.6.10-gentoo-r5). I downloaded the swsusp patch from the Berlios site (software-suspend-2.1.7-for-2.6.10) and tried to apply the patch.
I got this message:
| Quote: | laptop1 root # cd /usr/src/linux
laptop1 linux # /usr/local/src/software-suspend-2.1.7-for-2.6.10/apply /usr/local/src/software-suspend-2.1.7-for-2.6.10/
Applying 100-kdb-v4.4-2.6.10-common-1 ...
100-kdb-v4.4-2.6.10-common-1 will not apply cleanly. Reverse applied patches [Yn]? y
Reversing patches...
Done.
|
So, when I make menuconfig the menu item "Software Suspend 2 is not there!
The same thing happens if I don't reverse the patches.
What does "reversing" actually mean? Is there a way to apply the patch manually?

That's exactly the instructions I followed.
| Quote: | To apply your the swsusp2 kernel patch, first go to your kernel source directory, and run the supplied "apply" script from there, specifying where you put the patches:
| Code: | cd /usr/src/linux/
/tmp/software-suspend-x.x.x-for-2.x.x/apply /tmp/software-suspend-x.x.x-for-x.x.x/ |
You can also ask the apply script for help:
| Code: | | /tmp/software-suspend-x.x.x-for-2.x.x/apply --help |
The kernel should now be patched. |
No way.
| Quote: |
If errors occurred, the patches for some reason didn't work with your kernel version. A reason for this could be that the gentoo kernel versions already contain a custom patchset. Try to download a different version of the patch and/or your kernel sources.
|
I already tried with another kernel version, and with another patch version. It didn't work, and anyway it doesn't seem a real solution.
I remember I read somewhere that I should edit the patches manually. But how? |

I never said apply patches, I said use an unoffical ebuild. |

| I've been reading up on using unofficial ebuils and portage overlays, but I am still not clear on how to obtain the suspend2-sources ebuild. Does Brix's site work with gensync, or is there some other way to let my system know where to get it? I've set up a /usr/local/portage directory, and have a portage overlay in my make.conf file pointing to it. I am not sure what else I need to do. Thanks in advance. |

Hi!
I'm emerging the suspend2-sources right now, but I have a doubt: this kernel is based upon what? gentoo-sources? or other?
I was happy with the gentoo-sources kernel, and I'm a bit reluctant to swicth..  |

| I can only guess it's based on the vanilla kernel. I figured out how to emerge the swsusp2 ebuild, and at first I thought it didn't work b/c it didn't appear in my kernel after. It turns out there was a new kernel in my /usr/src directory called 2.6.11-suspend2. |

Yes... It seems a plain vanilla with the swsusp2 patch applied..... 
I had to manually patch with squashfs and vesa tng. And I found the system a bit unresponsive with this kernel (probably it also misses other gentoo patches..), so I don't like it as it is.
Also, the software suspend is giving me lots of headaches with the x server.. So I'm not as excited as I was before.... |

| Tell me about it. The swsusp2 does not resolve any problems with modules. At least it didn't for me. |
