How to use linux kernel I compiled?

VIM1 Linux Kernel & U-Boot
82 
LIMA (DRM support for ARM Mali 400/450 GPU) (DRM_LIMA)
CONFIG_DRM_LIMA

Got somthing!

83

thanks very much for your patience and resilient help !

84

I wonder if I can piggyback on this kernel on my SD now to just copy an ubuntu rootfs there and boot 18.04 right away… ?

85

You have to copy /lib/modules , /lib/firmware to ubuntu, maybe you can’t open Xorg.

86

my main interest is headless VIM, so not having X is ok

If you’re able to ping 8.8.8.8 but not google.com in linux 5.2 then I was having the same issue.

What has been working for me for some time, is disabling systemd-resolved and rebooting.
sudo systemctl disable systemd-resolved .

Also if double IP is a problem for you, you can remove the /etc/systemd/network/20-wired.network file. It seems it’s not really needed anymore.

in fact I’m such an Arch noob that I have to relearn the hard way all my ubuntu behaviour

whatever wifi-menu is doing does not survive reboots; how to make automatic wifi connect on boot ?

90

netctl enable xxxxxx

91

:+1:
this worked, after reboot, VIM auto connects to wifi,
and pacman is able to fetch packages as well,
only DNS seems not in good shape as…

[root@alarm ~]# ping www.google.fr
ping: www.google.fr: System error

WTF !?
I tried your systemctl disable but no way, so I renabled it

NSS instead of DNS seems better:

[root@alarm ~]# getent hosts www.google.fr
2a00:1450:4007:805::2003 www.google.fr
[root@alarm ~]# getent hosts www.google.com
2a00:1450:4007:80c::2004 www.google.com

maybe we shoudn’t worry too much

I like fresh distros, so
pacman -Syy
pacman -Su

and now everything is very uptodate

92

Which wifi driver was used for linux5.2?
Can you provide the driver firmware?

93

after installing sudo, I had to do
chmod 755 /
nano /etc/sudoers
add “alarm ALL=(ALL) ALL” in there
(using the group option in sudoers did fail for some reasons)

it’s apparently a problem with Arch linux as said here

I wanted to install alsa-utils w/ pacma, I see problems with hostname resolving…

please help !

[alarm@alarm ~]$ sudo pacman -Sy alsa-utils

the system became useless as network name resolution stopped working, using ip adresses is still working, but pacman cannot sync nor install anything now

Try this to make the nameserver work @ravelo

98

Worked thats. But some files are already there so needed force install.
Wifi works.

Whats the status with GPU?
I have drm lima but still I m noy happy with the video playback as I can see the frame switch, like the line you see when frames are changing very fast and still the graphic is being processed by cpu.

There’s a Segmentation Fault with xorg
(LIMA driver)
