Slackware :: Replace Default Installed Kernel On Media
May 19, 2010
I already know how to replace the kernel used to boot up the cd installer. /kernels directory. What I really would like to know is, is it possible to replace the kernel that gets installed by default with my own kernel build? Currently I have my kernel placed in the /kernels directory and that works fine for startup and installation. But then when I boot off the hard drive the kernel that is being used is not the one I placed in the Kernels directory.

I've just downloaded F11 i386 installation DVD. I installed it on my laptop and just now noticed that PAE kernel got installed. Isn't PAE for systems with RAM >3.2 GB? It's a pretty old laptop (P3, 256MB ram). So, is PAE kernel ok for me or should I reinstall from scratch and use some specific switches in the installer to get non-PAE kernel? I've also read that Yum doesn't recognize PAE packages dependencies and will install non-PAE kernel modules if I try to install let's say Nvidia driver or so.

During tests with 11.04, I met very big problems on my HP ProBook 6550b, which is all intel , but rather recent hardware, so it is 64bit. When I install ubuntu, the -pae kernel is installed by default. All did work so far with 10.10, but with 11,04 I get frequent crashes, particularly all kind of browsers will crash every few minutes, no way any flash will work, also office seems to freeze the system very frequently.
This regardless if the 11.04 is run from life CD or installed properly. Somewhere I read, that such behavior was cured when the -pae kernel was replaced by its normal (non -pae) variety. On a very old toshiba, with some old celeron, I may not have the initial performance, but crashes are 90 percent less frequent, as there ubuntu chooses non -pae kernel automatically. Therefore I am thinking the -pae kernel could be the problem.

It's embarrassing (and ridiculous) to recompile the kernel every time when you do upgrade, because it recognizes only 2GB of the 4GB that are on my system.

Where does Firefox 3.5.7_64 keeps it's bookmarks on Ubuntu 9.10_64 bit.
I want to replace the default set with my Seamonkey_32 bit set from My Windows7_32 bit profile. I tried to import them but Firefox reports no "Program that contains bookmarks...." exists. Before doing this I mounted the Windows partition.

I just use the package manager to do installs. But sometimes I need a more up to date version. I want to make sure that a manual install, either from source or a package, will replace the package-manager installation, and not install a second copy to a different location. I would also like to know how to preserve any preferences/settings when performing the replacement.

differences between Kernel Default and Kernel Desktop? I've found some past threads like this link and this other link, and some other google info, which suggest the only difference would be the io scheduler. Also, I see the default grub choice is "Desktop" and not "Default", so I take this as a suggestion to prefer one over the other.
However, my broadcom 4312 wireless only works on the "default" and not on the "desktop" kernel, so I guess there must be other differences. I just want to evaluate which one is the less long-term risk option to go.

When I plugged my phone into my laptop, I was prompted to select a program to launch by default when I plug in again. I selected Picasa for managing my photos. Since selecting that though, I've decided I'd rather have Banshee Media Player open for managing my music. However, I cannot figure out how to change the default. I've searched all over the internet, but cannot seem to find a solution.

I am trying to set my default media player as MPlayer and selecting it with a right click in the menu, open with and then telling it to open with every time. It then opens it in MPlayer that time no problem but then next time I just double click on the file (or any file with same type) it just opens it with the original default player. I've tried using SMplayer as well as default and it does the same thing. I'm on Ubuntu 10.04.

Using Ubuntu 11.04, Totem (the default media player) is not able to seek (read: to forward or go back in time) whenever the file is read from a mounted ISO archive.
Whenever I extract individual media files from such an archive, the seek bar at the bottom works as it should. Thus, it can be ascertained that it is not the media files that are the source of the problem, here.
why that is doing so? Sounds like a bug, or what?

I would like to replace the exiting kernel in one of my Fedora 11 installs with an earlier kernel from a Fedora 10 Unity Spin...so I can use it to bring ATI functionality to Fedora 11. Also, I recall there being a way to unpack rpms and 'repackage' them using a different kernel development set. How is this done?

Using Pentium4, snd_hda_intel, Codec Realtek ALC880, slackware64 13.1, No Gnome, firefox3.6.8 with flashplayer. Is is possible to replace Flashplayer with mplayerplug-in? Followed this a ubuntu tutorial:[URL]..community/SoundTroubleshooting to identify Sound Device using:
Code:
$wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh Tested sound by running gxine wizard which set it up as a plugin. Also ran mplayer but there was no wizard for firefox plugin both play sound. Used slackpkg to download mplayerplugin and pkgtool to install it. Where is mplayerplugin suposed to be installed? ***Found Mplayerplug-in... Pkgtool installed it right into Tools -> Addons-> Plugins intoo firefox... So i am going to disable Flashplayer and see what happens Thought I had to mannually configure it?

behavior in 9.04:plugged in a disk, mounted it and it as readable to the world.this is intended because it is shared via samba.behavior in 10.04:the disks have 700, meaning, they are not readable by samba.this is a problem.this is the best solution I've found so far:http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-u.../msg10951.htmlexcept, that the mentioned means to fix this are gone.(gconf-editor -> ..., storage and preferences -> removable media)after 3 hours of googleing and reading I'm rather upset about this bug.so please, if you are thinking of suggesting fixed entries in the fstab or anything else that will not work with every media that is plugged into this box, just close this tab.

i just installed ubuntu, latest version. i accepted the default media player. when i had windows installed, i was able to play videos at any level without any problems. the video player played very smooth whether it was in ..... or any other site. i took windows off, installed ubuntu, and now, the video is extremely choppy. the audio is fine, but the video is like it is playing 1 frame a second, instead of 30 frames a second. is there a better media player than the default? is there a setting i can adjust, like a buffer or something? i think the default is rhythmbox music player? for the video.

i can normally adjust the back light settings of my lap top by pressing fn and the up and down aarows. I am using the default xorg server without using xorgconfig in slackware, and it works perfect so far dispite this slight problem. When i do, do that key combo, (in kde) it does display the the meter of brightness, but i can't move the settings. I believe this may be an x issue, but not sure.
