Hi,

I am trying to get use the 3.0 patch. I have downloaded the patch above to my home directory, downloaded the 3.0.0 source using apt-get. i've also have libncurses5-dev and gcc installed and updated and upgraded everything with apt-get. I can't get the patch to work though. I unbzipped /untarred the source then entered the linux-source-3.0.0 directory then ran

louis@louis-laptop:/usr/src/linux-source-3.0.0/linux-source-3.0.0$ sudo cat /home/louis/patch.diff | patch -p1
patching file drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.c
patch: **** Can't rename file /tmp/pobVaNe5 to drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.c : Permission denied
louis@louis-laptop:/usr/src/linux-source-3.0.0/linux-source-3.0.0$

can anybody tell me what i'm doing wrong? I'm sure after i've patched it properly the compiling/installing of the new kernel will be no problem.

Cheers,

Louis
