It just occurred to me that maybe Linus should release Linux 4.0 when the Kernel can be compiled with LTO and LLVM. Which means GCC 4.9 and LLVM 3.5. And many other major subsystems should all be ready around the same time like X 1.16 and maybe wayland?

How do you compile it with sudo, su, fakeroot...? Or as a user, which explains that "Permission denied" .

As Dungeon said, you have to compile everything as root, either using sudo each time, or using "sudo su"

Then follow the instructions here (in italian): http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/Amministra...ilazioneKernel

[Vincenzov]

make xconfig

make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd kernel_image kernel_headers modules_image

works good 3.14.00
:-(

no sudo , Use this procedure to be approximately 2 years

[Vincenzov]

I do not know if it's a problem of my kubuntu or a defect in the kernel .....

now that you mention it, I was wrong and I'd used the sudo command by mistake, I deleted those folders and now I'm recompiling.

Compiled now kernel 3.14.1 very good, 3.15.0-rc1 error. Ok I am waiting for rc2 or rc3
Thanks
