How to apply patches ? #3

Closed EndlessPeak closed 4 years ago

EndlessPeak commented 4 years ago

I am a new bud to Linux. Since I am using Manjaro Linux 5.4-35 on the ASUS laptop,I am terribly shame to ask my question,which sounds quite silly: How to apply the patches you mentioned in "readme.md" from "https://patchwork.kernel.org" to my linux kernel? Could you please give some docs link,tips or something just make me understand how to deal with it?Thank you so much.

Hey, What model of your laptop? Possibly you don't need to update anything.

On Manjaro you can update kernel to version 5.6 with the help of mhwd-kernel, open terminal and type: 

sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux56

I have installed the linux56 kernel by mhwd successfully,but the service still doesn't work well. My laptop model is ASUS TUF Gaming FX80.CPU core i5-8300H,GPU GTX1050 Ti,RAM 8GB. Operating system is Manjaro Linux 5.6.8-1. Here is the error log. 1 Last time the error is switch fan mode from "normal" to "silent",and report error either. I tried to edit the file "/sys/devices/platform/asus-nb-wmi/fan_boost_mode", after I edit it from "2"(normal mode) to "1"(overboost mode),the problem appeared:though the fan starts to speed up and works well,my laptop's keyboard lose control.I cannot do anything but reboot compulsively. After reboot,I tried fn+F5,it doesn't work. Is there anything need to config or fix? Thank you again for your kindness!

Bad news, mentioned patch still not merged into 5.6 tree, only in 5.7 it's merged. If you don't mind installing pre-release kernel, try to install 5.7-rc3 using: 

sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux57

This should work.

Yes，after installed linux57 kernel the service runs automatically.Thank you!
