[Bug 432732] Re: Cannot download kernel information from kernel.org

 

Okay everyone, alpha patches are here. The RSS layout that deepspring
mentioned above will most likely be used in the next version. We have
come up with a good fix (albeit slower speed) that should work for this
problem. I don't want to use the patching system in KernelCheck until
I'm sure these work.

(The patching system works when you click "Check for KernelCheck
Updates" on the second page of the wizard.)

You can opt to patch the original source and reinstall KernelCheck, or
locate the two files, main.py and KernelPageParser.py and run the
patching command on those two files.

If you installed from source:
KernelPageParser.py should be located in /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/KernelCheck/
main.py should be located in /usr/local/share/kernelcheck/scripts/

If you installed from a deb:
KernelPageParser.py should be located in /usr/share/pyshared/KernelCheck/
main.py should be located in /usr/share/kernelcheck/scripts/

General patching format: cat PATCHNAME.patch | patch -p1
Alternate method (best used with sudo): patch -p1 <PATCHNAME.patch

Hopefully these work, and if they do, I'll release the patches to the
easy-update system.


P.S. These got me past the download stage, after that KernelCheck should be fine. Attached are the main source changes.
