I am evaluating the rteval test to see whether it is a useful tool for us.

In the current form, it is not packaged, and depends upon a library which is not packaged. These instructions only work for Natty and later.

In order to install and run it on Ubuntu (Oneiric), these are the steps:

1. Install the required packages:
   • sudo apt-get install python-ethtool python-libxslt1 python-dmidecode rt-tests
2. Install python-schedutils from source:

   • wget http://people.canonical.com/~sconklin/rteval/python-schedutils-0.3.tar.bz2

   • tar jxvf python-schedutils-0.3.tar.bz2
   • cd python-schedutils-0.3
   • sudo python setup.py install
   • cd ..
3. Fetch and install rteval:
   • git clone git://github.com/sconklin/rteval.git
   • cd rteval/loadsource

   • wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/linux-3.1.1.tar.bz2

   • cd ..
   • sudo make install
4. Run rteval (for 6 minutes duration):
   • sudo python /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rteval/rteval.py -d360.0
