The specs are: Intel Xeon CPU (with 8 cores), Ubuntu 12.10 (Linux-3.5.0-17-generic). Recently, I installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my machine and configured it for Xenomai 2.6.2.1 kernel, following the instructions given on this page: http://www.stanley.gatech.edu/skelly/uncategorized/installing-xenomai-on-ubuntu-12-04/#comment-932 I was successful with the setup and the grub menu shows the xenomai kernel installed. But, on booting into the Xenomai option, a desktop is displayed without any menu/task bar etc. The PC freezes upon booting, with no internet connection available. Here is the screenshot of the post-boot screen. I think this might be a problem with configuring the kernel, but then there are no set rules for configuration for a particular machine. I will be really grateful if somebody could help me out here. - Ankit -- Ankit Goila U-M ID: 83509056 Graduate Student (2012-2014) M.S.E Mechanical Engineering University of Michigan, Ann Arbor Contact: 734-747-0829 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

See here: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?XenomaiKernelPackages Also, if your NIC happens to be the r8168, you should compile that driver separately. There's a Debian package for that one as well, pointed to in the above link. John ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

I currently have Ubuntu 12.10 installed on my machine. In order to use the pre-compiled packages, do I need to just compile the code given online through the command line? Or do I need some other packages as well? The Ubuntu currently has the kernel version 3.5.0-17-generic.

I believe you should be familiar with installing software packages on Ubuntu, where no compilation is necessary. For Ubuntu 12.10 you should use the 'precise' debian archive, so CODENAME=precise then follow the rest of the instructions as usual.

On reboot, I am able to access the desktop from the Grub menu, however, the keyboard and the mouse are unresponsive. In a way, I can see the desktop, everything as such, but am not able to provide any input. Is this a configuration issue? Or is it with the drivers? - Ankit -- Ankit Goila U-M ID: 83509056 Graduate Student (2012-2014) M.S.E Mechanical Engineering University of Michigan, Ann Arbor Contact: 734-747-0829 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

The dozen or more systems I'm aware of on which these packages were tested never exhibited such symptoms. There are a great many things that happen between the grub menu and the point where one may 'access the desktop'. I won't be able to hold your hand through learning about those. I suggest you do some basic troubleshooting on your end, starting with checking system logs and configuring grub and the kernel not to hide console messages and init not to start graphics. When you're at the point where you've captured and analyzed the various sources of diagnostic output, googled error messages, and are still stumped, copy the relevant output to a pastebin and ask again here. That might increase your chances of getting help. John ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
