So, basically, don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

While waiting for the kernel headers for an earlier backport image to compile, I tried searching for somewhere online that I might be able to find the original kernel headers package for this image. Only links I found were to Debian backports, which said the package didn't exist. No git, no third-party repo, nothin'.

I was really looking forward to Waldorf on my desktop, as it's my secondary/testing PC for now (gotta keep my netbook in working condition for daily use), and the wifi worked for the few minutes I tested the LiveUSB, but it failed a few minutes after the install.

Shoulda gone the dual-boot route, but I simply overwrote the perfectly functional Statler install that was already set up to my liking.

Which brings me back to the thread title...

Think Titanmech posted about torrenting older #! iso's. Maybe here ? Nah brainfart ... looks like a false alarm.

Oh, I still have the install images for Statler (which should still, by the way, be available from the official CrunchBang download page); problem is, the headers for that kernel - only one that's worked with my wifi - aren't available anymore. Hence my need to compile the headers.

Incidentally, I'm sure there's a lot of info online about compiling kernel headers, but there are so many links about compiling drivers *against existing headers* that I can't find it.

The current Statler backports image (the one available for download right now) appears to still have the 3.2.0.0 kernel. Could you get what you need from there?

(edit) -- never mind; you answered this question before I was done asking it...

Am yet again ... running on pure caffeine fumes. Sounds like a sticky and/or annoying situation. Can only wish ya luck with the project Sage. My money's on that you'll find a workaround for it though.

pvsage · 2012-06-13 17:55:24

@pidsley: No, not the 3.2.0-0.bpo.1 kernel headers.

machinebacon · 2012-06-13 18:32:38

2.6.39 then? That was the previous 'updated' kernel after 2.6.32-5

pvsage · 2012-06-13 18:35:21

No, I need the headers for the 0.bpo.1 kernel. *sigh* I expected they would still be there, since the kinks still hadn't been ironed out of the 0.bpo.2 kernel.

machinebacon · 2012-06-13 18:39:44

Oh I see, misunderstood #6 smile Does Liquorix have them, maybe?

Err 3.2.0-0.bpo.1-all: http://packages.debian.org/squeeze-back … .bpo.1-all
Edit: facepalm that. mipsel.

I'd have been willing to try 686-pae, but that's gone too.

mipsel, huh? hmm tongue

pvsage · 2012-06-13 20:06:43

By the way, if anyone needs anything related to the 3.2.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 kernels, including the RT and xen images and headers, I guess I'm your guy now. The compiler spit 'em all at me.

pidsley · 2012-06-13 20:11:11

^ so is it working now? don't make us ask again...

Yup; running full throttle...so far...posting from it now, in fact. Gotta get Stylish & throw that Matrix theme over this stark white text!

EDIT: Good, that's better...nice, soothing green on black. Next, fix the fecking mojibake by installing all those lovely font packages...

Ahhh the good guys won this round. And ha ! ... I'd've won the bet if any cash had been involved. tongue

pvsage · 2012-06-13 20:42:48

what - you were betting that the compiler would give me not just the headers, but the whole kit and kaboodle?

CBizgreat! · 2012-06-15 08:33:26

lol Nah ... was betting you'd soon find a solution to the problem. I was right dang it ! However since nobody was betting against ya Pvsage, I didn't make any money on the deal. But shrugs ... didn't lose any either. And you figured out the problem, so all is well with the software world. wink
