Ubuntu :: Cannot Remove Old Kernel With Synaptic
Jul 1, 2010
I installed 2.6.34 and no longer need 2.6.32-21. When I go into the package manager and mark it for removal...It looks like it tries to install 2.6.32-22 and 2.6.32-22 Generic and then upgrade Linux-headers-generic.

How would I remove a package in the selections listing in synaptic. Like remove it so no one will see it to install or remove it. Of make a custom filter be what it displayed by default in the selections list. Or set user privelages to not be able to install anything.? But still able to read and write to the hard drive.

I added the Liquorix repo to try out the spiffy kernel. It didn't boot so I uninstalled the kernel and went on my way. I'd like to get rid of the repo entry in Synaptic but when I click on "remove" nothing happens. The repo is oddly not in my sources.lst file.

I've just did a fresh install of Xubuntu 9.10 x86 in a 4 gig pendrive.Just one ext4 partition for / and /home and a swap partition. Only one user created during installation.Everything's fine so far except for two things:-If I launch synaptic from the start menu, it asks for my password which I type in or even copy-paste to be sure.Strangely it always comes back saying incorrect password. If I open a terminal and call "sudo synaptic" and type in my password when prompted, the application shows up fine. Again if I do the same via the Run dialog (alt+F2), that is "sudo synaptic", nothing comes up. If I just type "synaptic", a pop up says that as a user I won't be able to install anything and blah-blah, and the application displays properly

I use ubuntu 9.10 karmic(x86). I was using a wifi network in my college,for which i used a proxy. Now i'm back home and am using a broadband connection. When i try to install packages via ..synaptic package manager , it pops with an error saying.. it cannot connect to the proxy "172.16.1.5:8080". Yes ,of course it should not be able to,as i am not in that vicinity anymore. I have changed the settings to direct connection in preferereces->network in the synaptic package manager secondly,changed the network proxy settings and applied it system wide. thirdly, I configured the /etc/apt/apt.conf file.. changed it to Acquire::http :: proxy "false"; But, nothing will work, still getting that error.

I know the latest kernel for 10.04 is 2.6.35.4, however all Synaptic shows is 2.6.32 versions.How do I get the latest kernels to show up in Synaptic? Barring that, is there a .deb package somewhere that installs it?

I'm using debian testing with cinnamon. After upgrading the kernel to version 3.17.2 (but I've also tried the 3.17.3 and 4) the synaptics touchpad died, as if it doesn't exist. I can't go back to the old kernel because the new one has solved a problem about freeze during the shutdown process, so I need it. Note that even with Mint 17, after upgrading the kernel, the touchpad stopped working in the same way.I believe that the touchpad is not seen , rather than loaded .xserver-xorg-input-synaptics and multitouch are installed.$ synclient
Code: Select allCouldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?
$ xinput list
Code: Select all⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SIGMACHIP USB Keyboard id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ MLK Trust Mouse 15313 id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
[CODE]...
...no signs of life from the terminal, it immediately waits for the next command.

I'm having issues with the current kernel is lucid ..Is it safe to issue "apt-get remove 2.6.32-29-server" to remove the current kernel ? Will aptitude automatically configure grub2 to boot on the previous kernel ?

i have 3 kernels on my ubuntu 10.10 (2.6.35-22; 2.6.35-23; 2.6.35-24). i tried to remove the oldest kernel 2.6.35-22 through synaptic manager, but it says that the kernel is not installed on the system. in fact, all the kernels i have on my system were shown as not installed. when i right-click it highlights only 'mark for installation'. so i tried to remove it from the terminal using the command:
sudo apt-get remove linux-headers-2.6.20-15 linux-headers-2.6.20-15-generic linux-image-2.6.20-15-generic --purge
it processes and show that it has been deleted. then i typed:
sudo update-grub2
it showed the grub2 without the deleted kernel. then i restarted, but it was still there. then i logged into the latest kernel (2.6.35-24) and typed:
sudo update-grub
it showed everything including the deleted kernel. then i typed:
sudo update-grub2
and it now showed everything, including the deleted kernel. i thought it was a problem with grub showing deleted entries, so i tried to boot the deleted kernel (2.6.35-22) and surprisingly it booted very well, no hicks or slows. i rebooted into the latest kernel and then tried to re-run the kernel delete command via the terminal, but it said that the old kernel (2.6.35-22) is not installed.
i don't know what's wrong. how do i delete the 2.6.35-22 kernel and update my grub/grub 2?
***besides, my grub is stil GRUB 1.xx version. but how come i still have / can run grub and grub2 on my system? and is also can update both grubs?

I have inserted a module with modprobe. However it seems to have problem.
1- How can I remove the module from modprobe?
2- If I reboot and the kernel can not boot up because of this faulty module, how can I remove it?

I'm trying to install VMWare server on my Kubuntu box and it's telling me there are 3 "kernel modules" that it needs me to remove (apparently they were installed previously and VMWare isn't liking that).How do I remove them? Never messed with the kernel modules before.

I am currently running the xen (64 bit) kernel, but want to move to the non xen kernel(64 bit) while retaining my carefully crafted system. I tried this once before by unticking the "virtualisation" and it removed the xen kernel, leaving me with nothing to boot from.

Sorry if it is a dumb question (i'm coming from deb/ubuntu and i'm totally new to rpm - installed Smeegol on a Samsung N150). After some try&error i finally got my Broadcom4313 working but underway to that i got lots of new kernels and now i don't understand not so much anymore.
I think the kernel default-devel it was me installing it using the distribution manager to get working make (for trying to install the original Broadcom driver package; i stopped that attempt because i didn't where exactly to move/cp the built driver).

I got this problem where my USB ports don't work. So if I do the command:
modprobe -r ehci_hcd
it fixes it. I can put it in the /etc/rc.local so that it runs every time when the server reboots. But, I want the ehci module removed without ever being loaded because sometimes the server goes through an fsck and the module is loaded and therefore I cannot use my IPMI to access the server.
I believe that my kernel has it within it because blacklisting the module does not work. I've tried remaking the initrd with this:
add module to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd-$(uname-r).img $(uname -r)
and that didn't work. I've searched on how to do it but nothing is really clear. I would like to know what the command would be to do this. I use Fedora 8.
I would like the ehci_hcd module to not be loaded so that if the server goes through an fsck, the module is still not loaded.

I installed the following packages:
ieee80211-kmdl-2.6.18-164.10.1.el5-1.2.18-22.el5.i686.rpm
ipw2200-kmdl-2.6.18-164.10.1.el5-1.2.0-45.2.0.1.el5.i686.rpm
from [URL] How to remove them completely? The ipw2200 driver complains that it could not agree with certain symbols in ieee80211 module. Before taking another route, I would like to know how to completely remove the files installed by these driver packages.

I was wondering how can I determine among the modules loaded at boot which of them are really necessary and which are not, in order to reduce the boot process time and have a more "elegant" system start.
I know this theme is a little bit of complicated because it depends of the user's point of view and demand a high knowledge of which things are happening in your system but I need somewhere to start improving the performance of my debian system.

I've searched high and low, and can't figure this one out. I have a older Olympus Camera (2001 or so). When I plug in the USB connection, I get the following log output:
$ dmesg | grep sd
[20047.625076] sd 21:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg7 type 0
[20047.627922] sd 21:0:0:0: [sdg] Attached SCSI removable disk
Secondly, the drive is not mounted in the FS, but when I run gphoto2 I get the following error:
$ gphoto2 --list-config
*** Error ***
An error occurred in the io-library ('Could not lock the device'): Camera is already in use.
*** Error (-60: 'Could not lock the device') ***
What command will unmount the drive. For example in Nautilus, I can right click and select "Safely Remove Device". After doing that, the /dev/sg7 and /dev/sdg devices are removed.
The output of gphoto2 is then:
# gphoto2 --list-config
/Camera Configuration/Picture Settings/resolution
/Camera Configuration/Picture Settings/shutter
/Camera Configuration/Picture Settings/aperture
/Camera Configuration/Picture Settings/color
/Camera Configuration/Picture Settings/flash
/Camera Configuration/Picture Settings/whitebalance
/Camera Configuration/Picture Settings/focus-mode
/Camera Configuration/Picture Settings/focus-pos
/Camera Configuration/Picture Settings/exp
/Camera Configuration/Picture Settings/exp-meter
/Camera Configuration/Picture Settings/zoom
/Camera Configuration/Picture Settings/dzoom
/Camera Configuration/Picture Settings/iso
/Camera Configuration/Camera Settings/date-time
/Camera Configuration/Camera Settings/lcd-mode

/Camera Configuration/Camera Settings/lcd-auto-shutoff
/Camera Configuration/Camera Settings/camera-power-save
/Camera Configuration/Camera Settings/host-power-save
/Camera Configuration/Camera Settings/timefmt
Some things I've tried already are sdparm and sg3_utils, however I am unfamiliar with them, so it's possible I just didn't find the right command.
# mount | grep sdg
# mount | grep sg7
# umount /dev/sg7
umount: /dev/sg7: not mounted
# umount /dev/sdg
umount: /dev/sdg: not mounted
# gphoto2 --list-config
*** Error ***

When I run yum list installed command the output shows two kernels:
[Code].....
Would it therefore be safe to remove the first kernel in the installed list to save having two kernels being updated everytime I run yum update? Or is the PAE kernel dependant upon the original?
