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?
Is there a way to get the matching Linux kernel headers automatic on a regular kernel update via the Ubuntu packed manager? Every time I get a new kernel I must do an aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r`
I'm running Virtualbox from the Sun website (need the USB support) and it breaks after each kernel update.The problem is that I installed a lot of Ubuntu systems for transitioning windows users with Windows in virtualbox to ease the migration but I have to rerun vboxdrv setup after each kernel patch.
At the moment I am using kernel 2.6.31-14-generic. 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.
9.04 this morning updated my kernel to I believe it is 2.6.28.18 and upon the reboot I had no desktop. It booted wanting to go into low graphics.
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:
I am using DEBIAN 6.0 and I wannna update my kernel from 2.6.32 to 2.6.38. Every time, I do it but after the installation & rebooting into the new kernel it gives me error "UNABLE TO BOOT INTO THE KERNEL".
I have the following strange thing with a RHEL4 installation. Since last week, the system did a reboot and now something is really fucked up. During boot we get the following messages (don't care about 'strange' typo's, my colleague typed it 'blind' from the screen)
Code:
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:
Code:
A fdisk /dev/sda shows: /dev/sda2 XX XXX XXXXX Linux LVM (I removed the numbers because this line is from another machine, but rest was identical)
We have a copy of the boot partition so if one need more info please let me know.
grub.conf:
Code:
last part of init extracted from initrd-2.6.9-78.0.8.ELsmp.img:

How to fix This? i haven't messed with Ubuntu much...Why am i getting an error about a kernel update?
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.
after update to kernel-2.6.18-164.el5 one of the 2 NIC's of my machine are only found at 1 of 4 reboots. Using the old one kernel-2.6.18-128.7.1.el5 all is fine. This are the to NIC's:
The server runs# uname -r2.6.18-128.4.1.el5However, today I executed yum update kernel*due to security advisory. I was just about to reboot the system when I realized that it runs VMWare Server Instance that will most likely fail to restart after kernel upgrade (I had a hard time fixing it after previous kernel update). Now I want to keep 2.6.18-128.4.1.el5 after reboot.I see that new kernel is scheduled for booting:
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.
If I want to just install Linux kernel for educational objects on a fresh computer, should I first install one of Linux distribution and then update it's kernel or I can just install kernel itself?
I 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 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.
I juset reinstalled my ubuntu and i can't update to the latest kernel. I'm stuck at 2.6.31-15. Also my grub is v1.94 Beta4 and can't upgrade it to grub2.
How much time does it take (typically) for Canonical to release an updated version of the Ubuntu kernel? What I mean is that the 2.6.34 kernel is already out (on kernel.org), but we're still on 2.6.32.
Probably a simple question, but i was wondering why is there a new kernel available (2.6.34) which is not proposed in apt-get update? Now I've got to download .deb files and upgrade manually. I would like to be able to install unstable / testing releases for packages. I have checked everything in software sources, but I still don't get the newest kernel proposed. Another question: what are "backports"?
This is old P4 laptop, Intel845G graphics (which I know is very troublesome).However, it works fine with the 2.6.35.22, but the update to 2.6.35.23 kills X during the boot process. Everything else works fine.Anyone else experiencing any difficulty with X and this kernel update?
Is anyone else having problems with the new 2.6.32-26 kernel and Lucid LTS? I first installed it several days ago on a test system and it immediately killed VirtualBox, since the header files necessary to rebuild the vbox modules were not included in the update. I installed the header files via Synaptic and everything then worked properly, so this morning I allowed my production system to install the updates.
That was a mistake. Immediately upon the required reboot, my GUI failed to appear. Eventually I got a CLI login on TTY1, and attempted to use "startx" to launch the GUI. It failed with a message that the nvidia driver could not be found.
Rebooting and choosing the older kernel version cured all the problems, but for now the security update provided by the new kernel is unavailable to me. This is NOT the reliability I have come to expect from Ubuntu's long term support and update notifications!
I have used Ubuntu since 8.04 LTS on my IBM T30 and A31 for almost three years now but recently all of them have problems with kernel updates(? maybe I am wrong but it was very clear that they failed after a kernel update). I have tried all three solutions provided by [URL] but none worked for me. My last A31 failed to boot yesterday after some updates (I noticed that there was a kernel update). It has 10.04 LTS on sda5. Dual boot (Windows XP on sda1 but rarely use it). Now it can't load kernel. What shows on the screen is:
GNU GRUB version 1.98-1ubuntu7 Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions. On the other T30 I had the same problem. I installed Windows XP and clean installed Linux Mint 8 and so far it is working alright. But on this machine I have an unfinished project that I really want to save it.
I have a 3dsp pci wifi card, and the last kernel it supports is Ubuntu 10.04 2.6.32-(21-24) I want to update but dont want to accidentally update the kernel. Sorry for this post I didnt spell the title of the first correctly, im a little f'd right now lol.
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.
So I know I should have known better then to turn my updates back on after the 15 and 16 kernel updates crashed ubuntu and grub but I did anyway and once again after a new kernel gets installed I'm stuck at the grub sh prompt.
Been down the road before... tried using linux /boot/vml....... root=/dev/sda1 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro When I use the 16 or 17 kernel I get an error stating "invalid imaginary number"...
So I use the 14 kernal and enter initrd /boot/initrd..... boot
And it boots like it did the last time this crashed. I went to the terminal and entered sudo apt-get install grub 2 sudo update-grub2
And then rebooted like I did last time expecting the problem to be fixed and at least be able to boot up the 14-generic. It didn't fixed this time. So now what do I do to fix grub and what do I do about having 2 unbootable kernals??
I had Windoze 7 on my wife's laptop, it started running crappy so I install Ubuntu 9.10 via Wubi (so it is not a partitioned dual-boot). I did the latest update, which I think included a kernel update. When I rebooted and chose Ubuntu from the windows dual boot window, instead of loading the GRUB I see an error message flash:
Code:
TRY hd0: NTFS no Wubi(something-or-other)
it flashed almost too fast for me to catch - it took about 10 reboots to figure out that much... and then it goes to a screen that says
Code:
GNU GRUB version 1.97~beta4 sh:grub
I tried several different commands (you can prompt it to give you available commands by hitting TAB), but it said it couldn't detect a kernel. Also, before I updated, I had tried to install iTunes via these instructions. iTunes seemed to have installed fine, but I hadn't tried it yet.
i upgraded my kernel to the latest version that being linux-image-2.6.31-19 and now when i start my linux box i get the grub shell. this problem happend once before but i only had to run the command: sudo update-grub2 and everything turned back normal. now even though i run the command everytime i restart my linux i get the grub shell.
