Re: apt-get is not working properly

IIRC the package name is libncurses5-dev. It will be quite hard for you to
do any kernel  development if you can't solve this by yourself.

 In future, ask this distro related questions on the ubuntu forums, or
 even try google :-)

 Looking at your problem it seems that ncurses-devel is not the package
 name for what you are looking for.

 You could try, apt-cache search ncurses,  from the list, get the
 name of the package you are looking for.

and look into the function print_context_stack() which will teach u how
to identify the start/end of stack, whether the address is valid, how to
traverse from one frame to another (using RBP / EBP of course, so CONFIG
for framepointer is definitely needed).

Re: Kernelnewbies Digest, Vol 45, Issue 1

2014-08-01 Thread Vishwas Srivastava 
To run menuconfig programme you need ncurses package, which is not
installed on your system
That is the reason of your first problem.
Now, your ubuntu version, looks like obsolete (i believe you installed it
long time before)and is no longer supported anymore.

If you update your ubuntu version, i guess you would be able to install
ncurses and would be able to build (make menuconfig wont fail).

Hope it would help.
