In Ubuntu 10.04, after Kernal 2.6.31.21 got updated to 2.6.31.31 the Nvidia 260.19.21 drivers for my new GT 430 video board were no longer properly recognized. Only low resolution was available. Booting with the 2.6.31.21 kernal still works just fine.

I'm not one of those people who needs to have the latest and greatest kernel to be happy, I just rely on the update manager. I swore that I saw an update for a new kernel, but my kernel version hasn't changed. I'm just curious if there was a new kernel that was released or if that was just an update to the kernel listed above.

So I drop to shell and stop the gdm and try to run the latest nvidia run file I have and it hangs saying I have a x server running.
Otherwise I am needing assistance with getting my desktop back! I can boot into an older kernel and if need be I would like to roll back that latest update this morning, but once again I am forgetting the command line for that.
Ran the updater, went to boot to Win7 to use Photoshop and realized that the grub menu was gone. Ubuntu boots by default now. I tried running "sudo update-grub" at a virtual terminal and while it listed the various linux kernels ok, it then got caught in a loop spitting out some crazy looking errors. I rebooted and Ubuntu came up fine. I tried running "sudo update-grub" again from the gnome terminal and it hangs the whole computer for a few minutes and finally gives me this:

The strange thing is that we never see a 'could not mount blabla' or similar messages. First we thought it was a failing kernel update by plesk, but even after manually updating the kernel with RHN RPM's, still the same message. Booting with rescue mode and then chroot the system works. After that we even can start things like plesk and so on.
We double checked things with another RHEL4 install, and at least two things were odd:
1: the working machine has /dev/dm-0 and /dev/dm-1, the broken one doesn't
2: some files on /dev didn't have group root, but 252
We tried to recreate the /dev/dm-X nodes with [vgmknodes -v], output:

A recent kernel update seems to have misplaced the Kernel Headers. VMWare needs these headers and cannot find them. Attempting to run VMWARE gets the message: Kernel headers for version 2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop were not found.

From F12 to F13. Is there anything I should remove before updating? I have few programs isntalled from source/binary installers in /usr for example. Would it cause problems?
And is there any chance to be able to switch from a 32 bit kernel to 64 bit kernel during the update? The hardware is capable of this.
I received an update to my kernel through the update manager (updated from ****.32.14 to ****.32.19, or something like that) but grub still shows the old kernel and not the updated one. Was this not a full kernel update and only a patch or do I have to do something to use the new kernel? I'm new bear with me if this doesn't make any sense.

The last update for 10.04 has really screwed my desktop. Several of the icons are off the bottom of the screen. All icons are too large. Can't adjust the screen resolution. Panel at the bottom when placed in autohide is so sensitive that it is almost impossible to use. Jumps up and down like a flea on a hot stove. I have reduced the sensitivity of the mouse to the minimum with no effect. There is no excuse for so many troublesome updates. The problem with using an external monitor with a laptop has never been resolved by Ubuntu.

It means i have the newest versions. So how to update my kde?
Here are my stats:
Distro: Kubuntu 8.04
Video: Nvidia 7200 w/ 256mb
RAM: 2gb
What happened: I allowed two weeks to pass before running a full scale update of the kernel, KDE, video driver, and various other apps. The update went through and it prompted for a reboot. Once I did, KDE wouldn't load and it halted.
So I logged in via tty4 and checked out the xorg.conf file. It was really basic and figured I had to reconfigure.. So I ran nvidia-xconfig, then startx. The setting was at 800x600. So I went into nvidia-settings and it said I didn't have a video card with an nvidia gpu.
I copied an old backup xorg.conf and restarted X. Then into nvidia-settings but it wouldn't allow me to set the resolution higher than 800x600. At this point, I began searching forums for fixes. There was mention of envy. So I found it in the repositories and installed it. Still, I couldn't fix the res. So now I'm stuck and asking for assistance. Maybe it is really simple. I just wish I saved my old xorg.conf file before running the update.
I just did an update and now my screen resolution is down to 1024x768 from 1280x1024. I tried to change it using the System->Preferences->Monitor menu item, but it is already set to the max it allows. I noticed that the monitor is unknown and hitting Detect monitors doesn't change anything.

It originally had around 75+ updates to install and seemed to do this fine. Unfortunately after a reboot and new check it comes up with 11 new updates. When I run install updates it gives me an error (see this post title) along with this bit of gibberish:

I am not (this is a fresh install tonight of 11). Most other cases also didnt seem to have quite so many items listed.
Basically, About 50% of the time, the system boots and sets the console resolution to something strange, and the console renders in a small box in the top-left hand corner of my screen. This causes problems not only with the display of the console, but with the display of X as well.
I have an Intel GL40 chipset on this laptop, with an integrated GMA4500 GPU. I am using the latest stable Intel video drivers (2.10.0-1), and have tried using the git drivers. In addition, the problem has been occuring since December, when I install Arch linux on this machine, I have just now had the time to address it. So basically, the issue has persisted with all driver versions since mid-December to the latest releases.
In addition, I have tried using several kernels, including:
But the problem persists with each.
I wish I could give you relevant diagnostic information for this issue, but if I had any idea where to start...
I will gladly post any information necessary. I was going to post a copy of everything.log for a successful and unsuccesful boot, but unfortunately they put me over the posing limit by about 100,000 characters each.
I guess, on second thought, that my Intel video driver really wouldn't have anything to do with my console, now would they?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am using Ubuntu 9.10. I use a Huawei EC1260 modem, which fails to work (but can be made to work by typing some commands). The current version of kernel on 9.10 is 2.6.31-14-generic. An upgrade to 2.6.31-22-generic worsened the matter and even broke the workarounds that I used for the modem.
I want to upgrade to the kernel to that of 10.04 to resolve this (I will not upgrade to Lucid as there the experience is painful - it hangs most of the time and I do not have time to fix things). Or, maybe, a downgrade to 2.6.28-11 (the kernel of Jaunty)?
How will I do this? Is there any adverse effect that may occur due to the update?
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 with 2.6.32-25-generic-pae (32 bits with 4 Gigs).
System is performing well, except that I can't make work a USB bluetooth dongle (maybe incompatible) and have some issues with the Touchpad.
I have an ASUS UL30-A with an Elantech Touchpad that is being detected as a PS/2 mouse. The issue with it is that Synaptic doesn't recognize it, so I can't disable it except with sudo modprobe -r psmouse.
This issue is already reported and fixed with kernel 2.6.34-rc7 or later.
How can I, in a easy way (a repo?), update the kernel of 10.04 Remember that I'm using 10.04 with PAE?
I did some Google first as usual, but all I found was some .debs from unknown sources and without PAE.
What should I do?
10.10 is about to being released and (I think) it has this newer kernel. Anyways, I prefer to stick to 10.04 LTS, so IDK yet how Ubuntu releases new kernels versions on "old" Ubuntu releases. At least this kind of 'major' updates.
Is there any official/beta repository to upgrade the Kernel of Lucid that I'm missing?
I'm seeing all these people have 2.6.35-25 now. I still have 2.6.35-24. I don't see it in synaptic, and I tried to do a dist-upgrade in apt-get, but nothing.
I'm really eager to try the latest kernel, since there is a glitch with touch-screen calibration on rotation in this one, and I heard it was supposed to be fixed.
How does everyone have 2.6.35-25 and I don't?
