Hi all, I need to install Gobohide tool in my Fedora core 11 system and i download the software from http://www.gobolinux.org and extracted.Then i navigated to the GoboHide/bin directory and executed the ./gobohide -h command.The output is: * [root@localhost bin]# ls go gobohide [root@localhost bin]# ./gobohide -h go ioctl: Inappropriate ioctl for device [root@localhost bin]#
*Then i noticed that i need to patch Linux kernel.So how to patch linux kernel.And from which directory i have to patch Linux kernel.And this command is right or wrong
patch -i /path/to/gobohide.patch -p1
if i excecuted this command i get the output as:
[root@localhost bin]# patch -i /home/user/Download/Linux/2.6.29.1-r1/01-gobohide.patch -p1

This is clearly incorrect, you seem to be in the bin directory, you should be in the same directory as the sources. Could you try after going to the kernel source directory and trying the same command?
Balbir
which is the kernel source directory is it /usr/src/Fc11/2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE/kernel or what?

You should know it depending on how the sources are installed. Typically it should also be in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/source
