i can confirm this issue

updated patch and info are available there:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VServer
http://ubuntu.uni-klu.ac.at/ubuntu.uniklu/dists/dapper/uniklu-vserver/

Shouldn't an official update of this patch be pushed out to Dapper, since what's there is useless?

The patch does not work - and I'm unable to find out why.
But I also don't want to use a prebuild kernel (or prepared sources) from a third person, so MarcelloNuccios kernel is no option for me.

Please fix it, it shouldn't be to hard....

I have the same problems. An official update of kernel-patch-vserver for dapper would be greatly appreciated. I am working at the moment with the uniklu-kernel, but they stopped patching the 2.6.15 branch, so dappers release version is now equal and soon will be higher than theirs.

Please update the package, as this is the only way to stay with the dapper supported kernel-versions.

I have tried to solve the rejected hunks. All but one were trivial, can someone please have a look at this, if I did the right thing:

I tried to integrate include/asm-i386/page.h.rej into include/asm-i386/page.h.orig. I ended up with include/asm-i386/page.h. I have attached these three files. I also attached the resulting patch.

This patch is untested yet.

ok. forget it. this patch is not compiling cleanly:

...
  CC kernel/sys.o
kernel/sys.c: In function 'sys_reboot':
kernel/sys.c:495: warning: implicit declaration of function 'vs_reboot'
kernel/sys.c: At top level:
kernel/sys.c:560: error: conflicting types for 'vs_reboot'
kernel/sys.c:495: error: previous implicit declaration of 'vs_reboot' was here
make[2]: *** [kernel/sys.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [kernel] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.15'
make: *** [stamp-build] Error 2

I will dig into this, but I am no C-programmer or kernel-hacker...

Hi,

i was able to compile kernel/sys.c when putting the function prototype of vs_reboot before the call. I will tell if the patch works.

Hi,

my patch works at least for me. I think it does things the way unijku does. It is not testet. I asked the maintainer of the package and he told me the patch was removed from debian as the patch was integrated in kernels shipped with debian etch.

I am not sure what is the intention for ubuntu. I dont know who decides if they either want to update the patch or integrate into mainline. Probably somebody who knows should take over? The patch that works is available here: http://shove-it.de/open/jcm/vserver_linux-source-2.6.15-27.50.patch
It works for me for : linux-source-2.6.15 2.6.15-27.50

Hi,

I just tried your patch, but the kernel did not compile.

I did the following steps under /usr/src:
sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.15
sudo wget http://shove-it.de/open/jcm/vserver_linux-source-2.6.15-27.50.patch
sudo tar -xjvf linux-source-2.6.15.tar.bz2
cd linux-source-2.6.15
sudo patch -p1 ../vserver_linux-source-2.6.15-27.50.patch
sudo cp /boot/config-2.6.15-26-amd64-server .config
sudo vi Makefile (added "+vserver" to EXTRAVERSION)
sudo make oldconfig
sudo make
sudo make-kpkg --initrd binary

The last statement exits with the error:
dpkg-gencontrol: error: current build architecture amd64 does not appear in package's list (i386)

I use ubuntu 6.06 64bit

Any hints?

Regards
Joerg

Hi Joerg,

i am just trying to build a amd64 kernel, i used a 32bit build. Could you try to run make-kpkg clean before?

One thing is to say. I spoke to the vserver folks on irc and they said the 2.01-1 version of vserver is probably security error prone and not supported. They would like to have someone to be responsible for ubuntu and vserver. Probably with the task to port the supported version to the 2.6.15 kernel-source. The kernel-patch-vserver package is an orphaned package from debian-etch.

From now on i used the 2.6.18 version of linux-vserver.org devel prepatch and vanilla sources. I think it should work as well to use the binary kernels from etch, they already contain vserver patches, but i did not try.

Maybe there is someone who finds the time to port the patches back to the official 2.06 kernel sources? I dont know if thats a lot of work, maybe not. We have to investigate =).

Regards, Joerg

Hi Joerg,

thanks for the hint. "make-kpkg clean" made it.

So, let's wait for the future of vserver in ubuntu.

Joerg

Hi,

are there any news about this bug-report?

Regards,

Joerg

Does this bug also belongs to supported Ubuntu versions like Ubuntu 12.04 LTS?
