Slo-Tech - Dva meseca po izidu zadnje različice Linuxovega jedra je včeraj na božični večer Božiček obiskal Linuxaše in jim prinesel novo različico jedra 2.6.10. Seznam novosti v primerjavi z 2.6.10-rc3 si lahko ogledate tu, prenos pa je mogoč s slovenskega zrcalnega strežnika. Posodobitev seveda vsem toplo priporočamo.
Mam 2.6 od 2.6.6 na parih serverjih, pa deluje super in brez problemov! Kakšna usuvanja ?! .. mogoče pri katerem bolj eksotičnem ali manj podprtem HWju
Najpomembnejšega se ni še nihče dotaknil. Namreč 2.6.9 (ali celo že 2.6.8) je sesul podporo za pisanje CD-R (menda zaradi spremenjenega memory managementa). Je z najnovejšo verzijo kaj bolje?
Problem je na relaciji razvijalci jedra - razvijalci cdrecord-a. V jedru so spremenili ravnanje s procesi (kar je bilo zapisano v načrtu razvoja), cdrecordovcev pa to ne gane kaj dosti in za vso nesrečo krivijo razvijalce jedra. Primer slabe komunikacije. Trenutno večina preprosto meni, da je cdrecord broken aplikacija in jo poganjajo kot root uporabnik.
Caqka, sploh ne. Ampak vsakic znova sem presenecen, kako ti in se par osebkov tezi v komentarjih novic, ki jih sploh ne zanimajo.
Cdrecord pa ne uporabljan. Razen ce k3b ne uporablja kakih delov. Ampak k3b dela ko sus, tako da me problem cdrecord ne gane. Sem pa bral nekaj o usb, ki me heca na eni masini, tako da nestrpno cakam da vidim, ce bo to resilo tezavo.

Po mojem si vsaka racunalniska & co. novica zasluzi, da je obljavljena na slo-techu, pa naj bo se tako "majhna" novica. Kot drugo pa je pol ok, da se glede te novice oz. v zvezi s to novico "razvije" debata. Seveda nekatere osebnosti pa pol sproscajo zgolj svojo frustracijo...
Jaz mu nic ne pokazem executable. Jaz sem mu enkrat davno dal emerge k3b in to je bilo vse. Ceprav se zdaj spominjam, da so bile enkrat neke tezave, ampak to se poleti.

I finally did some testing and gathered some information on the kernel 2.6.9 problem. Here is what I can tell you:
* Cdrecord won't run anymore when configured suid root. The reason is that the new kernel forbids suid root programs to use the SCSI subsystem (or something like that, correct me if I am wrong :) So Cdrecord needs to be configured without suid root and the next version of K3bSetup will do that. Cdrdao does not have this problem. I think that's becasue it drops the root privileges in an earlier stage but I am not sure about that. * K3b is unable to properly handle external (USB, Firewire) devices on the new kernel. Whenever the tray is open it will not be recognized as a CD/DVD device and if K3b is trying to access it while the tray is open it will get strange wrong answers from the device. I don't know how to solve this. Evenmore I think I cannot solve it since the dvd+rw-tools have the exact same problem. Hopefully this will be fixed in a future kernel version.
So what does that mean for you? Well, you have to decide for yourselves. Since I have multiple external DVD devices I still stick to kernel 2.6.7 since otherwise I would always have to make sure the tray is not open when starting K3b and trying to burn something. But if you don't have any external devices and configure cdrecord properly using kernel 2.6.9 should be no problem.
Update: This issue seems to be related to SCSI devices rather than just external.
quote it k3b homepage
It's not the opensource i hate.
It's the fanclub I cannot stand.
Ja, sem ravno tudi sam bral. Samo pise da je v verziji mislim da 0.11.15 zadeva urejena in da dela z 2.6.9 kernelom. Vseeno pa priporocajo 2.9.7. Ampak meni dela bp na 2.6.9. Je pa tudi k3b ze novejsi, bojda je zunaj ze 0.11.18.

CONFIG_CDROM_PKTCDVD: If you have a CDROM drive that supports packet writing, say Y to include preliminary support. It should work with any MMC/Mt Fuji compliant ATAPI or SCSI drive, which is just about any newer CD writer. Currently only writing to CD-RW, DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs is possible. DVD-RW disks must be in restricted overwrite mode. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called pktcdvd.
pa sem mislil, da so linuxi
stabilni OS-i... Že razmišljaš o prehodu na kak drug OS
