support for 6.6

[dga4130-renato]

Hello,
Can you have a look to this patch please ? Maybe will be useful

Support for Kernel 6.6 is on its way.
Branch generic already contains it, even 6.7
Problem on that branch is still that the update-initramfs on ubuntu 23.x doesn't work correctly ...
Branch generic supports all kernels since 5.15.1 and goes a completely different way.
But up to now it's experimental ...
BTW - it seems they have the same issue with dkms and version as I had it.

I have a possibility to use the new branch on Ubuntu 23.10. It requires a modification of an original ubuntu file.
Do you like to test it?
If yes: as explained - it's experimental. I would provide a patch for the file. After that you can install the current branch and check if it fits your needs.

Yes , ok let's test it Il gio 25 gen 2024, 19:21 AndiWeiss ***@***.***> ha scritto:

I did another try and found that the file which has to be patched gets replaced during 'apt update'.
I'll add a patch mechanism to my alx-wol.
That will be the next commit.
I don't really like that - I would prefer not to have this strange dependencies into the ubuntu base system :-/

[dga4130-renato]

Ok, when all is fixed the right way you can explain how it works and instructions for installation ...

[AndiWeiss]

I found a better way. Pushed version 1.99 on branch generic.
Just check it out and install.
sudo ./install.sh
If you want to be sure uninstall alx-wol before, but that should be done during installation.
USE IT WITHOUT GUARANTEE!

Tomorrow morning I will spend some time on this project , but I would like to know better what the script will do... I see some change on initramfs .. just to be sure on what will be done on the system so I can reverse by hand if fails

Hi there,
for full deinstallation of alx-wol 1.99:
sudo dkms remove alx-wol/1.99 --all
In the case something wasn't removed:
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dkms/alx-wol/1.99
(or - if you don't have another alx-wol version - /var/lib/dkms/alx-wol)
With this the dkms installation is gone.
To remove all reamains:
sudo rm /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/dkms-adder
sudo rm -rf /usr/src/alx-wol-1.99
That's it.

Works great !!!!!!!!!!!
To be sure on future versions i downloaded kernel 6.7 on mainline and installed it. Great job. 2 minutes and all fixed.
Will test it for a few days but i think will have no problems !
Push up this to master branch, will solve problems to many people.
Btw add to instructions the manual way to remove it if someone has trouble !

i will send the link on the other sites i visited that had no solution.

You are a magician . Thanks very much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi there,
nice to hear, thank you for the compliments.
I'm currently writing new documentation.
Because of your hint I'll create a script which does the deinstallation.
There is one thing you need to know:
In the case that the patch doesn't apply on a newer kernel it can happen that the kernel will not be installed.
I didn't find a possibility to inform about that automatically.
So: In the case you see a non-applying patch feel free to give me a hint. I tested several versions but I can't check all coming versions :-)
As soon as the documentation is finished I'll bring that on the main branch as version 2.0.
