Red Hat / Fedora :: RPM Kernel Upgrade To Latest Version (SL6)
May 13, 2011
I am relatively new to the Linux System (8 months). I am having issues after upgrading the Scientific Linux 6 kernel from its current 2.6.x version to the latest version that SL6 has available. The issue is that once I install the upgrade and reboot, the internet becomes extremely laggy when scrolling on web pages, so much so that you get a ripple like effect as your scrolling. Which doesn't occur in the current kernel i am using.
Current Kernel is: 2.6.32-71.18.2.el6
New Kernel RPM update is: 2.6.32-71.29.1.el6
I wish I could figure out the problem but I am having trouble identifying what exactly the current kernel has that the new one doesn't that would cause the internet lag. I have read other topics with similar kernel update problems, but none have expressed an internet problem & only an internet problem from a kernel update.
I am using Nagios 3.2.4 monitoring tool on a Linux box with Fedora 10 installed on it and Apache version is 2.2.10. I would like to upgrade my Fedora version from 10 to latest version Fedora 13.
I have install windows XP and Fedora-14-X86_64 on dual boot, I want to run other OS on fedora by using Virtual machine. I have download and installed VirtaulBox-4.0.0 successfully but I cannot able to start it. I got error about Vbox driver not installed [error code:1908]. I have also installed DKMS package, but also didn't work.
Finally I found the actual problem was kernel not compatible with latest version of vbox and I need to update my kernel-headers. I also meet that solution by using command: yum install binutils gcc make patch libgomp glibc-headers glibc-devel kernel-headers kernel-devel and its work fine, this command download and install the kernel compatible VirtualBox-3.2.* and now its works fine.
But problem is that when I booting my PC, it shows 3 options for entering OS rather then 2. 1. Fedora-14 (2.6.35.10.74.X86_64) [which is new one/updated after using that command] 2. Fedora-14 (2.6.35.6.45fc14.X86_64) [which is new one/updated after using that command] 3. Other [windows XP] How can i delete that old version- No.2?
I'm so tired on how i can change the resolution of my suse 7.3 because i change my monitor into a wide flat screen.
but now i decided to upgrade my OS in to the latest version of suse but i don't have any idea on how to start because i have alot of files and important application in 7.3 i worried if i upgrade my OS it will erase my files and application. does anyone know to do it. i want to upgrade but i dont want to loose my files and application.
Twice now I have received update notices informing me of header upgrades which I installed, both required a restart of the system. Usually when this happens there is an additional item in the grub menu. The last two times this has happened I didn't get an additional menu item. What is the latest stable version? I am currently running:
2.6.32-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 20 14:21:58 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I did try a "sudo update-grub2" and the menu didn't change.
Can someone tell me which is the latest stable kernel version available in the repositories?? Is it 2..6.35-22 ??? if so, when will 2.6.36 be available??
I'm looking to upgrade squid 3.0.x to the latest version 3.1.x. Is there a way of doing it without losing the current configuration ? The installed version was done using the binary package (rpm) and not compiled from a tar package.
I'm trying to upgrade netatalk to the latest version because my Time Machine gets corrupted when the volume reaches its max capacity. How do I do it? I uninstalled netatalk, downloaded the latest package, made configure, make, make install (without any errors, just some warnings), but netatalk doesn't seem to run. I can't connect to the shares. If I install netatalk 2.1.2 via synaptic everything starts to work again. How to upgrade netatalk to the latest version on ubuntu 10.10?
I have CentOS 5.5 installed on my Dell D600. This release includes SAMBA 3.0. Question: Is there a way to use yum to upgrade / install the latest version of SAMBA (3.5.3)?
A "yum search samba" shows there is only the "samba3x" release available - which is SAMBA 3.0
I've downloaded the SAMBA3-3.5.3-43.el5.i386.rpm package for Cent OS 5 from the SAMBA.org site, but when I try to install it, it fails due to package dependencies.
Short of downloading the source and compiling it myself, is there a better method to get the latest version of SAMBA installed on my system?
I am using OpenSUSE 11.4 64 bit with GNOME. I also use the Tumbleweed and Packman for Tumbleweed repositories. Accoording to uname -r, my current kernel version is 2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop.
How do I safely update to the latest stable kernel version?
I am new to OpenSUSE. Please provide step by step directions.
I am getting a black screen on the latest kernel upgrade 2.6.31-20. My computer completely boots up, but goes black after a minute or two. For now, I am booting up with the previous kernel.
my sound was working fine until i've updated the kernel this morning through update manager. Now my sound doesn't not work, despite the sound card appears to be normal on sound preferences.
I have a fedora 11 with kernel package: kernel-PAE-2.6.29.6-217.2.3.fc11.i686
I would like to install the devel package for this kernel version, but I can't find it, because in the fedora repo there is only the original kernel (2.6.29.4....) and in the updates repo there is only the newest kernel package (2.6.30....)
Where can I find the packages which are between the fedora and update repos' versions?
I have just installed filezilla via yum and it has installed fine and is working great but it is an old version 3.2.4.1 and the latest version is 3.2.7.1 generally how long does it take for the updates to make it through to the repos
I am used to using ubuntu but i feel that fedora is alot easier to use out of the box. I was able to install veetle on ubuntu by opening terminal and typing su -c 'sh /home/kevinnicola/Downloads/veetle-0.9.17-linux-install.sh'. But it doesnt work on fedora. It says its intalled sucessfully. But every time i try to watch a veetle stream it says i havnt got the latest version of veetle. Has anyone else got this to work?
I am new to Fedora and having trouble installing the latest tar file from Mozilla. I am familiar with basic Linux commands and the message I received when after downloading the tar file and extracting it was error while loading shared libraries: /root/firefox/libxul.so: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied. I do not have the latest version I tried to yum update and it did not work.

I want to update Bleachbit from the program website, latest version. But get the following ( The name org.freedesktop.PackageKit was not provided by any .service files ) this is good from a security standpoint. But this decision, I would personally take.
In my F12 box,whenever I open ..... in firefox, it says either Java is disable OR install latest version of Adobe flash player. I checked in firefox prefrences menu and and there I see already Java / java-script checkbox in checked for enable and along with it I have the latest flash player installed as per the manual install suggested by the missing plugin notifier.
I've noticed a bad behaviour with the latest 2 Fedora kernel releases:
- it happens with 2.6.31.12-174.2.19.fc12.x86_64 and 2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.x86_64
- but 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64 is OK
The problem is as follows: Any kind of terminal application (any X based terminal and the console itself) hangs on certain operations involving colors from what I've seen
E.g. 'ls -F --color' as predefined in Fedora works but 'ls -F --color -a' hangs. Midnight Commander also hangs but works on black and white.
My terminal is xterm-256color under X and linux under console.
Other observations:
- it happens on a AMD machine but not on an Intel i.e. not all hardware is affected (couldn't narrow it more)
- same machine, same software stack but with kernel 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64 works OK
