Ubuntu :: Can't Delete Multiple Kernels
Apr 24, 2011
After I used Ubuntu Tweak to delete several kernels (versions) of Ubuntu under Package Cleaner, all these deleted kernels in Ubuntu still show up whenever I start my PC as if nothing was deleted.

how would i go about deleting my old kernel?i have my ubuntu machine partitioned the way gentoo would partition a drive with a seperate boot directory. my boot directory is only 200 megs so i can probably fit 4 kernels max into it and need to eject the old ones.

I recently installed ubuntu 9.10 and a day later updated with all the suggested security and recommended updates. Now I notice that in my Grub there are two different kernel versions listed. Are they both necessary? Can I / should I get rid of the older one, and if so, how?
I ask because after all these updates I notice my computer runs much slower, so I don't want it overloaded with unnecessary software.

I am using the latest Nvidia driver from their website on Ubuntu 9.10. I use 2 kernels, the standard kernel for everyday use and the realtime -rt kernel for my music work. On my desktop i have standard ubuntu and ubuntu studio installed but on my laptop its annoying having to have an external hard drive plugged in when i want to record so i just switch between kernels on a standard install. The problem is i have to reinstall the nvidia driver every time i switch between them or if the kernels get updated (which i don't mind so much). Is there any way i can install the driver so that it configures x.conf to work with both kernels without having to reinstall each time?

After I messed up badly with my netbook I have to reinstalll the OS, it is a government property netbook that came up with Edubuntu 7.04 insalled on it. I shouldn't mess with the filesystem but I did and now I have to install Edubuntu from the beginning, but I must be sure that everything will just like I have done no change, so I am afraid that I can make some mistakes at this pointThe first thing that I want to know is: Why there are multiple kernels listed at the GRUB (v 1.5)...this is the full list:
Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.28.9 Default
Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.28.9 Default (recovery mode)
Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.28.9
[code]....

I can't find the place to set the system to keep multiple kernels. For the first time in a long time, updates are giving me grief. I've kept the last working nvidia driver in case I need it.
Now I would like to keep one old kernel when I update to the new one. I had a lab rat that never got rid of old kernels and that was too much. It is possible to keep the last working kernel when you update, isn't it?

I'm running Fedora 12 - Linux 2.6.32.21 with a boot partion on /dev/sdb3 of a hard disk.
I downloaded a vanilla kernel version 2.6.35.4 and have built it and run it successfully. I built this kernel to play with building device drivers.
My grub configuration uses the same root filesystem for my fedora installation as my vanilla 2.6.35.4 kernel; both use the LVM root filesystem. (/dev/sd4 /dev/sdb5 /dev/sdb6)
When I'm running fedora 12 (2.6.32.21) I can see the files in /boot which contains my kernel, system-map, initramfs, grub directory, etc. I also see my vanilla kernel 2.6.35.4 and it's associated support files (map, initramfs, etc.)
My question is when I boot into my vanilla 2.6.35.4 kernel and I look in /boot, I only see my vanilla kernel and it's associated support files. No grub, no fedora kernel. If I do a df -a, I see that /dev/sdb3 is not mounted like it is when I'm running my fedora kernel. I'm confused as to what is going on here. Can anyone shed some light on this?

When I turn on my computer, because of frequent updates it will display several versions of Ubuntu 10.10 that I can choose from. I wonder if it is possible to delete some of the older versions and how. I think having several versions of Ubuntu uses up a lot of space in the hard drive.

I am using ubuntu 8.04 and have a separate home partition. While setting it up I had a few failures and was left with several directories containing many hidden files which I can't seem to delete. The man pages for 'rm' didn't seem to provide the answer either.
Is there a flag or escape sequence that will allow 'rm' to delete these files?

I have a file looks like the following:
digraph topology
{
"192.168.3.254" -> "10.1.1.11"[label="1.000", style=solid];
"192.168.3.254" -> "10.1.1.12"[label="1.000", style=solid];
[code]...
Order of these lines are random... So I cannot delete line #19, for example... And you can see that top four lines I want to delete are pairs. So there might be some clever way to detect the lines, if a line has both "1.9" and "1.11", then delete the line... I am new to perl language. The following is the code I have now... I think I just need to write some code inside the while loop checking if I want to delete the line $dotline before I write to a NEW file.
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
$TOPPATH = "/tmp";
$NAME = "topology";
$FILENAME = "$TOPPATH/$NAME.dot";
[code]....

I installed proftpd on my Ubuntu 10.10 install. I also run multiple websites that I want to allow ftp access to for 2 different users. The websites are located in /home/www/. This is where the guide I was following told me to put them. I also don't have a user named www.How can I give write permission to upload, delete, and edit all the files in /home/www/ for multiple users? They can connect to the ftp server and see the file, just not change them.

I am trying to use an old box as backup server. I have tried a couple of possibilities along the lines of:
Quote:
rsync -a --delete --progress --log-file=/home/$USER/info.txt -e ssh /home /etc root@192.168.0.106:/mnt/back
The problem is it does not delete files that has been removed from my local system?
I run the command as root on the local system.
(I realize I should properly not ssh into the server as the server's root but I'm having trouble with the permissions and I want to make sure everything else works before messing around with it)

I just can't stand knowing that there's a slight problem with my PC.I have roughly 12.5 Gigs of files, mostly movies that are multiple clones of a particular movie (which was an entirely different problem altogether) and I CANNOT DELETE THESE THINGS! There has to be a simple way to do it from terminal, problem is, I can't seem to find the trash directory in terminal.

I am using Ubuntu 9.10 and am facing an issue while booting up. It goes into initfs command prompt on one of the 4 kernels that show up in the boot menu. I tried to look around for a likely solution and hence did the following:1. ran "chkdsk c: /f" in my windows partition.2. Added "rootdelay=90" in "/boot/grub/menu.lst" file.This is how my /boot/grub/menu.lst file looks and the problem is with the kernel 2.6.31-20-generic:
title Ubuntu 9.10, kernel 2.6.31-20-generic
uuid ceacd229-2b68-41bf-a967-8ee470085fd8
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-20-generic root=UUID=ceacd229-2b68-41bf-a967-8ee470085fd8 ro quiet

I have an issue with apt-get that has been bugging me, namely that it tries to delete kernels I did not specify for deletion.
This is an issue that has been present over at least the last three releases and is present for both 32bit and 64bit, so it might actually be a feature and not a bug, however I can't see it's usefulness.
When I use the command:
Code:
sudo apt-get remove --purge 2.6.32-21*
It not only tries to remove the kernel 2.6.32.21 but gives me the following output:
Code:
sudo apt-get remove --purge 2.6.32-22*
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting linux-headers-lbm-2.6.32-24-generic for regex '2.6.32-22*'
Note, selecting linux-headers-2.6.32-21-preempt for regex '2.6.32-22*'
[Code]....
When I go through with this command to remove the oldest kernel on the system, it will actually delete all kernels present on my PC (as I painfully learned when I first tried it). Why is that the case? Wouldn't it make more sense to only remove the kernel 2.6.32.22?

I am running Maverick and I have installed through the terminal those two kernel versions (26 and 27). Once I restart the system and choose either of those kernels to start, I can only work in console mode. I am using 2.6.35-23 without a problem and I have been having this same problem with version 25 too.

I'm having an issue with my suspend, and nothing seems to be fixing it. Every time I suspend, the computer starts up as if it were shut down. Somebody recommended that I use a previous kernel, such as 2.6.35-28, rather than the current kernel, 2.6.38-. When I open Synaptic, no previous kernels are listed, so I wanted to see if anybody else knew how to install previous kernels.

I've been using the instructions on the Wiki to compile audio drivers for the Macbook Pro 5,3, and it has worked for a while. But I tried doing the same thing with kernels 2.6.31-17 and 2.6.31-18, but it seems to have no effect: alsamixer only shows one channel (Master) which does nothing, just like a fresh install. Does anyone have updated instructions for these kernels?

Instaled ubuntu 9.10 and i like it more than win xp because you can setup it in your way. Now my problem is when i compile older kernel with my setup and restart ubuntu i get grub with no loads like config is gone or something so i cant boot any of default kernels. I folowed this guide for compile [URL]... because i want to create lan hlds server with 1000hz kernel and have best response and latency server. can anyone confirm is this guide working with this 9.10 version or problem is that i cant set older kernel with newest ubuntu? Compiled few times and annoyed to wait again 2h just to try some other explanations i found on internet.

yesterday I removed old kernels via. the synaptic manager- I'm 100% certain I did not removed the latest stable kernel, and the version before- I did however removed the oldest two. Now after restart I'm dead in the water- i cant get past the initial boot- the screen goes black. I i'm running ubuntu 9.10 double-booted with windows vista, and right now I cant even get into vista...
Let's say that I messed up with removing old kernels, and removed sth, that shouldn't be removed- but how does this mess up vista?

I already know about Ubuntu Tweak but the list of kernels seems to show only my 9.10 kernels. I checked GRUB and the 9.10 kernels are linux 2.6.31-17 and 2.6.31-19 but (acording to GRUB) the ones I am looking for should be version 2.6.28-17.

I use a laptop with a built-in WiFi card (Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] using iwl3945 module). It's OK but sometimes is not very stable, occasionaly it simply dies and I have to reboot. It was even worse but I improved it by applying a new driver.I also have a very nice USB WiFi card (D-Link System DWA-140 802.11n Adapter [ralink rt2870]). It's much better and faster.
So the problem is that in Ubuntu 9.10 (2.6.31) I can use only the built-in one. The other one (D-Link) also works but I can't make it connect to my router. The built-in card connects to it but the D-Link even does not list it among possible connections (but it lists other possible connections which I do not want to use).The funny bit is that this problem disappears when I use an old Kernel (2.6.28-18 ) : both cards work fine and can connect to the router at the same time (obtaining different ip's). I then disable the built-in one and happily use the external card.
Unfortunately the old Kernel has issues with sound and video, so I would like to use the latest Kernel with the external card. I tried WICD but it didn't change anything.I can add that under the old Kernel the USB card is used as a ra0 device while the new Kernel lists it as wlan1.
