Patching kernel 2.6.38 to allow FFB for Logitech wheels.

You thought about that pretty quickly :stuck_out_tongue: Currently just about to burn the ISO… Braseo is fine for burning ISO’s right? or will I have to take a nice trip to my old friend Synaptic?

Brasero works for me… though I’m still so used to ImgBurn, I have it installed in WINE :wink:

ImgBurn in WINE it is then :stuck_out_tongue: :wink:

EDIY: Downloaded and installed Imgburn - Can’t find my DVD drive o.O

In ImgBurn… got to Tools>Settings>I/O (tab)>Page 1

and select ASPI - WNASPI32.DLL
under Interfaces.

If that doesn’t work… try the other “Interface” settings, such as
ASAPI - ASAPI.DLL

Worked like a gem. Currently burning the disc just now, I guess I’ll go downstairs and grab the win& box and start transferring stuff over =P

Currently backing up my stuff. I’ll then format both EXT partitions using Gparted & then I’ll install the 64-bit transfer all my stuff again, set-up the P.I.T.A Samba, and then we can add the kernel patch… lol…

Nearly done I guess… I now have to reinstall a lot of things… so you might as well and go ahead and explain how to patch the kernel whilst I’m installing a lot of things :stuck_out_tongue:

What patching ?

I thought you were just going to use that guys custom (pre-patched) kernel:

You know what I ment… ::slight_smile: How do I use that kernel? sorry… stupid moment

Instructions are in his posting… just download them and put them in a directory… cd into that directory, and run:

sudo dpkg -i linux-*.deb

So bung em in a directory called (something like) FFB-kernel-2.6.38 put that directory in your home directory, then:

cd ~/FFB-kernel-2.6.38

then

sudo dpkg -i linux-*.deb

When finished (and back at a $ prompt) reboot… done.

Any problems, boot the original kernel from the GRUB menu.

Right got that :smiley: Also, I forgot what the ‘chmod’ command was for taking ownership back of my files. Could you be kind enough to tell what it would be? ::slight_smile:

It’s not chmod, it’s chown (you aren’t changing permissions, you’re changing ownership), so if your username is still bally … put them all in a directory called something like change-owner, put that directory in your home directory, and run:

sudo chown -R bally:bally ~/change-owner

or use the FULL path

sudo chown -R bally:bally /home/bally/change-owner

ALL files (including subdirectories) in /home/bally/change-owner will be changed to
Owner = bally
Group = bally

This is the posting you were looking for :slight_smile:

Ah… I remember now :smiley: Sorry I’ve been coding most of the day, gets very stressful at times :stuck_out_tongue: Still haven’t gotten round to download the new kernel thing, will do it tomorrow haha.

Install his files last night, doesn’t have seemed to helped the issue with FFB. Guess I’ll have to upgrade my kernel to 2.6.39.
