For anyone who's interested and wants to help improving these applications: I've just added the source to GitHub:
Schoelje/device-driver-manager
Device driver manager
https://github.com/Schoelje/device-driver-manager
Schoelje/welcome-screen
Welcome screen. Includes hardware detection for third party driver installation (device-driver-manager).

That fixed it...Schoelje wrote:I've uploaded DDM with arjay's fix:
http://www.schoelje.nl/lmdekde/packages ... .0_all.deb
The process should be a lot quicker now, so let me know.
1. Installed NEW .deb
2. Used the new DDM to remove Nvidia
3. Rebooted into Mesa driver.
4. Used NEW DDM to install Nvidia.
Sucess. No halts, lockups. Worked perfectly, about 5 minutes..
Here is the ddm.log

Re: Unofficial LMDE KDE Live DVD: UP4 / 201208
Schoelje,
i was thinking about this PAE thing lately: in lmde we already saw that the i486 kernel won't ever acknowledges more than one core (i have still to test in the other side of mint because as far as i know Clem used a straight 32bit kernel to circumvent the PAE option ubuntu took and assure maximum hardware compatibility)
this way i think the only workable option is to detect the use of the i486 kernel and give the users a one-button-easy-to-install-the-PAE-kernel

Re: Unofficial LMDE KDE Live DVD: UP4 / 201208
Currently this is DDM's logic to detect a multi-core 32-bit system:
- Get the number of cpu's:
Code: Select all
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l
- Get the kernel release:
Code: Select all
uname -r
- If #cpus is more than 1 and kernel release is 486...
- You can install PAE
Re: Unofficial LMDE KDE Live DVD: UP4 / 201208
but and this http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... 20#p626247 it will recognize more than 1 core if we are running i486. so it will never prompt to install PAE
Re: Unofficial LMDE KDE Live DVD: UP4 / 201208
I must be getting old...
Well, maybe we should use dmesg to tell us whether or not pae is possible:
[ 0.000000] ACPI: NR_CPUS/possible_cpus limit of 1 reached. Processor 1/0x1 ignored.
The last part is a tell-tale that there's another CPU that could be used...

G'morning BostonPeng
very concerned i would say better have 2 of those (one for you and one for me)
nahh, if you are using the alleged 32bit kernel (that actually is a 486) that's normal; check these 2 posts http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... 20#p626257

Morning ZZ. Damn, I had seen those posts but completely glossed over them without realizing what they were saying. No wonder my laptop seems a tad slower the last several months. I haven't had much coffee yet this am so I'm going to ask what's probably a stupid question: Should I simply go into Synaptic and install the 686-pae kernel? This is what I'm showing form dmesg:

Re: Unofficial LMDE KDE Live DVD: UP4 / 201208
yep, with that processor i would install PAE (image+headers)
that's what Schoelje is trying to automate in ddm.

Re: Unofficial LMDE KDE Live DVD: UP4 / 201208
On my way to install them now.
@Schoelje:
I remembered I still had the debs for the ddm and welcome screen on my drive so I installed them to get a screenie of the original report it gave me.
I'm noticing this version of the welcome screen shows the Mint KDE logo while the debs I downloaded Monday show the green Mint logo.
Would it break things if I used debian-welcome rather than welcome-screen? I really like having the blue logo since I'm running the KDE version of LMDE.

Re: Unofficial LMDE KDE Live DVD: UP4 / 201208
I managed to get the PAE kernel image and headers installed but saw errors about the dkms.config file.
Silly me forgot to run sudo nvidia-xconfig before I rebooted and got dumped to a terminal login prompt upon reboot. I did some digging and saw that both cores were being recognized and used and found instructions to remove and reinstall nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-glx from the terminal (with a reboot between the steps). I'm back up and running KDE and dmesg shows a much different response than it did earlier this am.
ddm still doens't seem to recognize that I'm on a dual core machine but I am using both cores again. Thanks for the assist ZZ. I'm writing an article for my site showing how to ID the issue and resolve it, complete with getting the Nvidia drivers working again.

Re: Unofficial LMDE KDE Live DVD: UP4 / 201208
I've changed DDM to install the pae kernel:
http://www.schoelje.nl/lmdekde/packages ... .0_all.deb
It does not deal with BostonPeng's findings.
What would be a sound solution?
@BostonPeng
You can use welcome-screen and mintwelcome together, they don't interfere.
The logo is found here: /usr/share/linuxmint/common/artwork/logos/scalable.svg
The KDE logo is installed by mint-artwork-lmdekde and yours is probably mint-artwork-lmdekde
You can check that with:
http://www.schoelje.nl/lmdekde/packages ... .0_all.deb

What would be a sound solution?
- Move /etc/X11/xorg.conf when it exists
- Is there a way to install the dkms for a new kernel (so, not the one you're using now)?

Re: Unofficial LMDE KDE Live DVD: UP4 / 201208
Good Afternoon, Schoelje...
This is not a real priority issue as you previously mentioned. Probably not even as issue at all.....
Just thought to mention it, as 'Boston Peng' did, and I confirm.
Its just an appearance thing. The Welcome Screen and DDM work well....
The text does not fit well in the Welcome GUI.
You mentioned it would be hard to fix. So no problem.
Probably dependent on the font we use.
I am using. DejaVu Sans 10

Re: Unofficial LMDE KDE Live DVD: UP4 / 201208
Damn, I forgot I had a newer version in my Downloads section. I have the older versions in Installers and completely forgot to install the updated version. D'oh! It didn't matter though because even with that package installed and running kbuildsycoca4 ddm doesn't see I can run PAE, unless the fact that I'm already running PAE confuses it (or maybe I need to reboot before testing again).Schoelje wrote:I've changed DDM to install the pae kernel:
http://www.schoelje.nl/lmdekde/packages ... .0_all.deb
I used Startup-Manager to disable the PAE kernel while I was fixing my issue and once the new kernel was playing nicely with others I used SUM to use it as the default. I also have the delay set to 2 seconds so I don't have to wait so long on boot.Schoelje wrote:It does not deal with BostonPeng's findings.
What would be a sound solution?I think the first option is the safest bet: even though you have both i486 and i686 installed on your laptop (well, I have), the system always boots with the i686 kernel, even if you grub select i486
