Write and Submit your first Linux kernel Patch

[@linux786]

Great lecture. Shows how easy it is to start contributing to the kernel. I will start doing so right away!

[@dimalmfao]

man, this is useful. remember, when you gonna commit your code, the next time you install linux, you should think another way.

[@bluezhudong]

It's really great ! I will try to submit a patch to the upstream!

[@pyrokamileon]

I would love to contribute to the kernel! I'm listening to this now while at work and I will play it again later and follow the steps..! 😎

[@braoultvideos]

@J I - look in Documentation/process subdir. Doc about dev process have been moved there some time ago.

[@rj-nj3uk]

Man I am too excited. I will be creating my own linux version. yaya!!

[@mehdizeynalov1062]

amazed by this quality content. thank you.

[@SohomBhattacharjee]

29:00 -> we do multiple inheritance, object overloading in C. my question... HOW? any references ?

[@somedude4122]

structs and void pointers, and __attribute__((packed))

[@Technicalturbo]

Nice video with proper commands and configuration files .. keep it up

[@chanvts]

great lecturing! excellent job sir!

[@deogratiusekodi3431]

Just watched it.. I'll definitely disturb Greg's inbox

[@ji1046]

where is documentation/howto ? I searched it in the source file documentation directory but there is no such file

[@lordmetroid]

@KusuriRX No he says it is Goblin, the SUSE version of Moblin.

[@balkiprasanna1984]

Thank you very much ... Very informative ...

[@anupdhond]

nice video. By the way is it just me who thinks this guy's voice sounds like one of the winklewoss brothers from the movie "The Social Network" ? :)

[@ashwin372]

Shit i can't undo that thought

[@MladenMijatov]

I love this guy!

[@raxeax]

"Why don't you demonstrate your programming capabilities?" That was your sentence.

[@atjhamit]

Thanks for this!

[@dardevelin]

An experienced Programmer tends to want to get rid of all tasks he can. Sometimes that means find the best way to save your time and not repeat to every newbie you meet. so yes you will watch/read basic stuff like an hello world, for the next time you don't explain and say "Hey, GO here"

[@Vatar88]

I used to program the Linux kernel like you until I deallocatted a pointer to the knee.

[@SB-co7nn]

Thank you, sir.

[@sharabshaik8667]

Can anyone explain me or share a link to set up the mail to send the patches

[@DaVince21]

Isn't the answer obvious? If it's garbage, there's so much incentive to make it better.

[@yon2004]

OMG the best video ever

[@HermanWillems]

What is the maintainer quit maintaining ?

[@hyperthreaded]

It seems to me that you *can* have automated tests for hardware by emulating the hardware and running the kernel to be tested in a virtual machine.

[@ServalLi]

I'm considering use hotmail to send patches...

[@alokcom]

How do we update the repo for next set of commit to kernel

[@fosdemtalks]

FOSDEM is a yearly conference in Brussels, Belgium, which occurs in late January - early February. We record all our talks and put them online, but we don't actually create the content in those talks. If you want to know more about this talk, I suggest you contact the speaker directly.

[@nadimalmas2725]

can i resolve checks?? to submit my first patch

[@Ikkepop]

you're incredible , and i'm secretly batman , but don't go telling everyone , i hide it under a false image/name

[@numba1netsfan]

@newe3 yea I think the problem for me is and was (im starting to actually grasp it) is thinking of the kernel as some untameable beast. Now that im looking at it as my bitch im starting to learn it. Its actually a strange program

[@ilikewebm]

It would be cool if the FreeBSD Kernel would be as cool as Linux

[@UltimatePerfection]

I am not going to go anywhere close Linux kernel code. Not only I would mess something critical up, more importantly I would be yelled at by Linus.

[@venkychunky1]

Awesome!

[@sandun001]

My boss always advise me , Keep Reading the Source code ! He is a great US government officer man. He is great !

[@BAgodmode]

I’m a time traveler coming from the future. I only had enough fuel to go back this far. In 2025, on June 18th, 3:51AM CST, a small child in Oklahoma will watch this video, and then he will try what he sees in the video IN REAL LIFE. If Timothy Rosegarden of Enid, Oklahoma is reading, please do not do it. If you commit to the core of Linux, you will start a chain reaction that ends in an extinction level event for the people of earth, the refugees on IO, the Mars colony is doomed either way, but we can save earth and the people of IO, Just please, go back to watching Paw Patrol, do NOT code a Linux patch.

[@inanme]

Have you done anything so far?

[@The_Nickromancer]

can anyone tell me how to make a language patch for psp Japanese games alot of people are doing it for games and i want to know how

[@cornboy3]

What window switcher are you using for your presentation? It looks awesome!

[@njkevlani]

I have the same question.

[@manisadhasivam7712]

Nice video...At least for the newbies...

[@souravmondal07]

how to add that signed off line after commit message ?

[@DanielBaluta]

git commit -s

[@miguelmorales3979]

What is his OS?

[@psygaara]

and why you think that linux is "shitware"? and with which OS do you compare it? i really don't get you.. you can run linux anywhere and you can customize it as you want

[@chaitusvk1]

excellent

[@Rubdos]

Exchange server WONT LET PATCHES THROUGH IT. LOOOOOL. I pressed 'like' at that point!

[@zownix]

I'm guessing it's sugar but I'm not sure.

[@raf.nogueira]

I want so much to be a kernel developer is some way that i can get money even only for food ? when i learning the thing ? I love the graphic things , drivers ,opengl , gtk , qt etc

[@maxx666mayhem]

awesome

[@numba1netsfan]

I have "The C Programming Language" and "Linux Kernel Developement 2nd edition" are these good books for kernel hacking? The second book is published by novell i believe.

[@psygaara]

Yes I have, show me.

[@camel_doctor]

what's the os he's using?

[@TijmenvandenHeuvel]

I would guess OpenSUSE.

[@milesrout]

He says it in the first 25 seconds idiot.

[@camel_doctor]

Miles Rout That's great. We don't know that because we've never heard of moblin or goblin os. And do respect people.

[@andresl.8903]

Gowtham Gts Moblin is the predecessor from MeeGo, which is the direct predecessor of Sailfish OS from Jolla.

[@FlightGearUser]

Did you see his email address? @suse.de so probably he uses SuSe. But AFAIK, this depends on the desktop environment.

[@dolby360]

Is this video still valid?

[@TheRealCykey]

amazing talk. Thank you :)

[@Ikkepop]

Oh so you're gonna pick on my grammar now ? That definatly proves that you can write a kernel

[@ShamelessHorse]

Nice to hear each questioner had a totally different national accent.

[@DaVince21]

You know what's funny? The number of kernel developers HAS doubled now!

[@Techz3]

4 people are afraid of branches

[@ilikewebm]

Okay 700 lines..

[@vha1207]

2021 🤩

[@ilikewebm]

The company i tested had 1200 errors :-)

[@Ikkepop]

clearly , and i clearly have an uncredited nobel piece prize and know alot of fancy words too gotta do better then that

[@tsvigo11_70]

Какой-то мерзавец придумал ставить открывающую фигурную скобку справа на той же строке что и условие. Она должна быть на строчку ниже и слева.

[@sandun001]

Great US government friendly great video !

[@TheBuilder]

The title didn't imply it would get accepted :(

[@johnmcmanus6719]

On google play linux kernel in a nutshell is £13

[@koolkd12]

3 people use windows

[@climatechangedoesntbargain9140]

ancient times

[@thorham1346]

Eight space indentation? What the hell are these guys smoking?

[@thesmileynoob]

Thorham its not 8 spaces its 1 tab. How many spaces your editor displays as a tab can be configured.

[@fastundercoverkitgoogle7381]

But configuring your editor to display tabs as less than 8 spaces will inevitably lead to code that's shorter than 80 characters for you and longer for others

[@nobytes2]

thesmileynoob usually 1 tab is 4 spaces, but Linux kernel uses 8 space tab.

[@psygaara]

don't blame Linux if you don't have skills, blame yourself.

[@TaborKelly]

But it's open source: go fix it.

[@Ikkepop]

i wonder if Linus Torvalds hides under a secret identity as a 15 year old school girl on the internet

[@GIANT1GF]

P.S. why would you watch this video, if you already know for like 15 years on how to contribute to Linux? It's like a senior C developer watching a "hello world" tutorial.

[@LorenKuich76]

Yep.

[@Ikkepop]

And i singlehandedly beat-up a grizzly bear while riding a unicycle, on a tightrope, over an active volcano, with angles singing in the background go get some proof, then bicker

[@psygaara]

"If it's open source, it's open to shit. Enough said." - this is not an argument, sorry.. also, they don't accept any patch you send

[@sophiabyfield-rich9259]

Xgrid egg

[@ShamelessHorse]

Your sentence means that it's obvious why anyone would contribute to Linux.

[@tonupif]

Пиздато!

[@dylan.dsouza]

Lost count of how many 'shit's in the previous comments

[@LorenKuich76]

"Couldn't code their way out of a simple web socket programming?". lol. I honestly don't get you.

[@robin2604]

git gud

[@raxeax]

Programming emo...bad joke. Are you serious?Youre saying here how are you good programmer,but i saw on you channel crap like this "Untrained girl presses 40 lb kettlebell overhead with one arm". I don't demonstrate my programming capabilites because i don't have this channel for making videos & no time for making videos.

[@ryansmith6308]

You waste time. Honestly, you do.
