While doing an upload i can see the progress of the upload task in the task management however, i dont see any activity on the system activity widget on the dashboard. In the 0.32 version if a task was active it show there as well in the task management. Is this broken for others also?

ah i see…ok no worries then.

RE: E7440 kernel
[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 24144, member: 7271”]I’ll take a look, because it may be as simple (for me that is) as a firmware addition, rather than a “missing” driver. Let me take a look. However, to “add” drivers to the kernel, normally those checkboxes you saw are how you do it. You click the checkbox to “install” the driver into the kernel.[/quote]
I actually got it working now…But i meant how can i add a new driver to the collection so it can be installed into the kernel?

RE: E7440 kernel
[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 24122, member: 7271”]So my kernel isn’t loading the Intel 825xx drivers? When I get my laptop back I’ll take a look.[/quote]
It doesn’t seem like it. If i needed to add drivers to the kernel, how do i go about that?

RE: E7440 kernel
[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 24089, member: 7271”]I’m confused about the 3136 folder. Do you know what driver’s you’re missing? Maybe I could just add it to my kernel.[/quote]
ok i tested the kernel388core and a kernel you out there at one time called Tom which didn’t work either. I think the issue is just the network card

RE: E7440 kernel
I meant the linux-3.13.6 folder. I did a compatibility check and i got a fail on the network check, i’m guessing its this [url]http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/04/DriverDetails/Product/latitude-e7440-ultrabook?driverId=WM2WJ&osCode=W864&fileId=3301308144&languageCode=en&categoryId=NI[/url]
I saw something about e1000 as a error which could be intel 1gig nic. It would be great if you add it but I would like to see some instructions on what you did afterwards so perhaps i can add that knowledge to my toolbox:)

RE: E7440 kernel
[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 24085, member: 7271”]The bzImage is the actual ELF Binary (the kernel) itself. It may contain the config in it, but it is not going to be of any use to a text editor such as what you were using.
The .config is just the text file that tells the kernel how and what needs to be built. It assists in building the bzImage.[/quote]
ok and what about my other question about adding drivers?
-
RE: E7440 kernel
another question i had was if i needed to add drivers to the kernel would i just go to say
[url]http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/product/latitude-e7440-ultrabook[/url] and download the driver i need then add the driver to the linux 3136 folder? -
RE: New Developer
[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 15923, member: 7271”]Hello all,
I’m sure you’re all seeing the developer title under my name now, and I’m more than happy to develop for this.
For this reason, I think this post is appropriate and especially here than anywhere else.
I’m new to developing and I enjoy doing the work as I use FOG nearly everyday. I wanted all to know that, as I am new, I’m still learning how Blackout was building the system. I’m trying to maintain his code and add features I think are useful.
So I will be, slowly as it may be, adding features but I will not necessarily get to everybody’s stuff. If you have a feature request, please ask, but realize I’m brand new to the development of this project and need to learn the logic behind the new system so I may not be as quick as Blackout was. I’m doing the best I can and useful, and easy to implement, features I will attempt to add. Right now this is especially pertinent to the GUI as that’s the item, from what I can tell, mostly needing the work.
I hope I can please you for the most part, but am more focused on getting this completed as it has been quite a long time since a release happened.
I’m also working a full time position within a school district, which as many places (countries included) just started back up from the summer, so I’m working on this and busy at work. If I don’t make progress quickly enough, chances are I’m just busy at work. I try to help out on the forums as well, but I am human. I don’t know everything and will never claim to. I will give my help when possible. I make mistakes, and I have just a regular home with regular bills, etc…
This is all done completely in my free time (some of which my wife is starting to dislike, but excited for me as I enjoy this so much).
I’ve read through a few of the feature requests, and some of them I will try to add, some of them I won’t. I will try to post a Feature Add/Modded document, once complete, but again, my time is focused on coding/developing the system as a whole, so if I don’t get to full changelog documentation, I’m sorry. Maybe we can have the testers assist with that.
Thank you for the time on the soap box, and happy FOGing.[/quote]
I noticed you “Blackout was” building the system. What happen to him?

RE: E7440 kernel
Is there any difference between the .config & the bzImage ?
-
RE: E7440 kernel
[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 24079, member: 7271”]I never heard of that.
My kernels do have network drivers, otherwise nothing would work ever.
The bzImage does contain a copy of the config now as well.
To get the .config, download the latest kernel from kernel.org
Extract the file.
Then download the config (32 or 64) from svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk/kernel/TomElliott.config.<32 or 64>
Then open the kernel editor.[/quote]
ok ill give that a shot

RE: E7440 kernel
[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 24076, member: 7271”]Which configuration did you use?
Did you copy mine as the linux root’s .config file?[/quote]
I just loaded the BzImage into the kernel editor, where is the .config file?

RE: E7440 kernel
[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 23900, member: 7271”]Sorry me previous data was so short sounding, I had only my iPhone when I responded to that.
However, the information is correct.
The “errors” aren’t really “errors” at all. It’s the kernel loading drivers, that the system doesn’t have. Because it can’t find a place to use those drivers, it just spits out those messages. They’re harmless messages. If you know you have the devices those errors are referring to and you’re getting those messages, then it might be cause for concern.
My kernels have a lot of things added to them to try making them cross platform as much as possible. So a few error messages because it can’t find something is nothing to be worried about. They also, in many cases, take a little while to load because there is so much to try to match up. My systems take about 2 minutes before I have access to a shell, or the tasks start being performed.
I’m sure I could remove more things, or you could build a kernel that only contains the drivers needed for a particular system, but it would not work on all systems available. Where I work, we only have 10 different systems. Others might only have 1 type of system.
If you built your own kernel, it might load the task faster, or boot faster, but my kernels are meant to work on a broad number of systems.
I hope this explains that.
Thank you,[/quote]
ok i fired up the kernel editor and loaded a kernel that i had used in the past to see what options where check off and i saw this
[ATTACH=full]578[/ATTACH]
so i’m wondering how this kernel even worked. Shouldn’t those options be checked off?

RE: E7440 kernel
[quote=“Albatros, post: 23911, member: 16710”]Here is a tutorial how to build a [URL=‘http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/request-for-kernel-compiling-info-please-read.4045/’]kernel[/URL]. I had no problems with this tutorial. The messages that apperars, how Tom said are not serious and it can take minutes until the kernel have the right drivers found. I have a PC where the kernel have needed around 4 minutes until it had all right drivers loaded.[/quote]
I meant an actual video maybe posted on youtube. the instructions are good though.

If you get time i think it would great if you authored a video on how to create those kernels

RE: E7440 kernel
[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 23889, member: 7271”]Both of those errors are fine. Just wait a little bit.[/quote]
I’m going to rebuild the server because i got some sort of error about network is unreachable when trying to pxe boot and then something about the images/dev directory. I have never seen those before so once it’s rebuilt i’ll try those kernels again

that one doesn’t work either. It gives a error about esas2r driver will not be loaded because not ATTO esas2r devices were found

Can someone create a kernel that will work with the dell e7440 or if a kernel exist where can i get it?

RE: PXE booting a DELL latitude 10 tablet problem
[quote=“Rick F, post: 19811, member: 18439”]Here’s a side tip for those Latitude 10’s… the dock can only support two USB devices at a time. This machine SUCKS.
I’ve also seen that in my case anyway, the only USB port that sees a USB device (pre-windows) is the front dock USB. So, how do you put the keyboard in the front USB to boot to the BIOS, and choose the flash drive (which also has to be in the front port)??? Well, to free up a USB port, pressing the Volume UP button on the side of the tablet, and I mean pressing it rapidly non-stop, is the same as hitting F12 on your keyboard. That’ll get you to BIOS and you can then see your flash drive which is in the front port. All this, providing that its a working bootable flash drive. As I’ve said, my OS boots up fine through the flash, but not Clonezilla. Hope this helps.[/quote]It was rather difficult to get someone that was technical at dell to give me an answer on this but yes pxe booting is not supported on those Latitude 10’s. In fact those Latitude 10’s are discontinued now, and have been replaced with the venue 8 & 11 pro which is suppose to support pxe booting.
