Announcing 4.10. Debian Speakup kernel packages

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

I've compiled the Debian kernel 4.10.7 source with the latest Speakup patches from speakup2.tgz. They are only for AMD64, but if there is demand, I'll compile for x86 32-bit. They should be identical to the Debian 4.10.7 packages except for the Speakup patches. I also uploaded 4.3.3 and 4.6.4 which don't have the patches but have the hack to grab the serial ports. While they are for Debian, they should work on Ubuntu or any derivative. I'm running Debian testing and they work fine, but you use them at your own risk. They should be fine on Debian stable and unstable, but if you're running a very old version like Squeeze, they won't work because the version of udev is too old. If you run into problems, let me know.

To install, do the following:

1. Download the linux-image package for the version you want, such as 4.10.

2. As root or with sudo:

dpkg -i linux-imageXXX

Replace XXX with the full package name, including .deb.

While it should do the right thing, you might want to run update-grub just in case. It should show the new package you just installed. Assuming you get no errors, reboot. Make sure you have a rescue CD just in case. There is no apt repository.

Note: The source and dbg packages aren't included for space reasons. The source is identical except for speakup2.tgz. If you really need a dbg package, let me know. Thanks to iavit.org for hosting.

I only have a DECTalk Express here, so if you have problems with other synths, let me know, not that I can actually fix anything. I'm not a programmer, I just compile the kernels with kernel-package.
