Arch Linux User Repository

Right, I checked the latest PKGBUILD for the stock Arch kernel and it has cpio as makedepends. Add it to linux-g14 too, I didn't catch that because I already had cpio installed in my system.

Hi, is there a new dependency on cpio? I had the same problem as this https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=261876.

Oh man, thanks! I didn't clear my src so it just used some old dir. My bad. Fix incoming.

This isn’t building because the fedora-kernel ZIP file expands to $srcdir/fedora-kernel-50c4293d202534b2773149500aac51f13fd76c9b/, but PKGBUILD looks for its patches in $srcdir/fedora-kernel/*.patch.

Here’s a patch to fix it:

This is not building properly any more: the fedora-kernel repository isn’t advertising commit 3e893afb4b3fcc73192caa1d5a645abae87d2112. You can fetch it manually for now (though I imagine the commit will be garbage collected in about a month’s time), but the rog branch that it was on has had its extra commits rebased from 5.11.15 to 5.11.16. Could be worth asking upstream to leave tags or branches behind for the old versions, or else fork it on GitLab to do the same.

@dragonn ah hmm odd I was for some reason on the impression that the 201 was onboard. I do have the problem however under pipewire no matter what version I try.

@cvelteren first, that patch says it is for AX201, mine G14 has AX200. Maybe 2021 models have never card. But even that, that is not a kernel patch, it is a firmware patch so that would be a new package called linux-firmware-g14. I don't think making it makes a lot sense, that patch should quite fast come into stock linux-firmware too.

@dragonn can you add the patches to prevent pipewire disconnects with the bluetooth chipset on the g14 (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/?id=73144e02dcff54529ab42d951de682740d204180)

Is this package still relevant going forward to 5.11 or have these patches been merged?

Windows has the bad habit in leaving devices in a "unclean" state where Linux drivers can not recover them back. This mostly because by default when fast startup is enabled in Windows it doesn't do normal shutdowns/reboots where device drivers are initialized and shutdown but fast startup is just cheating and is just hibernation.
