Ubuntu Installation :: 9.10 Desktop And 2.6.32-2 Kernel?
Jan 5, 2010
I've got a machine with an Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop install, and a boat-load of server things. It's to fill a combined desktop/server role. I want to upgrade the weak integrated graphics, ATI Rage XL, to an ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro. The #ati and #radeon (IRC) guys are saying the new open-source Radeon drivers, with all the trimmings, would be best. But if you go to the xorg-edgers "fresh X crack" page, it'll tell you you need the 2.6.32 or later kernel. But the latest Karmic kernel is 2.6.31-16 (which I have installed). So a guy says "No problem. Just download the 2.6.32 kernel for your arch, install with "dpkg -i" and never look back." But another guy says "well, that's an unsupported config and may not behave well." To my question "Could I cripple my system installing that?" "You could," was the answer.

I installed openSUSE 11, which had Linux 2.6.27 kernel. I downloaded Linux 2.6.35 and installed it in my home directory. Now i can see 2 OSs in my GRUB(Linux 2.6.35, Linux 2.6.27). But when i select the new kernel(Linux 2.6.35) from the GRUB during booting, i am not able to see the GNOME desktop. What i am able to see is only the shell. Kindly tell me how to see the desktop after i boot into the new kernel.

What does this mean? Is it serious? It's regarding a new installation on a desktop computer, comes back after restart.

I have installed OpenSUSE 11.3 64 bit and want to install VMWare workstation 7.1. I have run the install script for VMWare without any issues. When I start the VMWare Workstation I get a window saying this: Before you can run VMWare, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel. Kernel Headers 2.6.34-12-desktop Kernel headers for version 2.6.34-12-desktop were not found.

I'm just installed OpenSuse 11.3 (64) on a 30gb SSD, hoping to get virtualbox 4.0 running to virtualize an instance of Windows 7.I went through some pain with my Nvidia video card and actually getting vb to install, but through lots of searching and tinkering got here.I created a vm in the vb control panel, but when I go to start it I get:
Code:
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Win7Main.
The virtual machine 'Win7Main' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1.

I have a system running openSUSE 11.2 with Desktop and XEN kernel, as well as Windows 7 (not by choice though...). I have noticed a strange time issue, with Windows 7 and the desktop kernel the time is correct (like for example now: 1:32 PM) but in the XEN kernel it is ahead several hours (6:32 PM). If it was an issue between openSUSE and windows then I would think that it is a problem with the system clock but I don't know what would cause a time issue between kernels like that.

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.

Over the past few days I have been trying to install an older kernel (kernel 2.6.28.1) on ubuntu 9.10 64-bit WUBI installation. I compiled, installed, and updated my grub for the kernel. When I reboot, the grub menu correctly gives me the option of booting into the older kernel but when I do so I receive the following error message:
error: you need to load the linux kernel first.
I am at a complete loss on how to fix this. I even downgraded grub but I still get the same error.

With the recent upgrade kernel, my ATI driver can no longer work. After upgrading to the new kernel, upon reboot I would get stuck at the "checking battery status" and can't boot into kubuntu.
I'm running Kubuntu 10.10 64 on intel i5 with radeon hd 4870.
So I thought I messed something up since I was fooling around with conky script the day before. I did a clean install of kubuntu 10.10 64 and reset all my settings and my files. At this point, everything works smoothly and I can reboot multiple times without a problem.
I proceeded to install the Radeon catalyst driver following the documentation, which worked perfectly for me on the previous kernel. After rebooting, I can no longer get pass the "checking battery state" black screen. I had to boot into safe book, uninstall all fglrx and also delete xorg.conf to be able to boot back in normally.

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.

i just updated my mainboard, because of a failure in the grafic chip. Now I have a icore 7-2600K CPU with 16GB memory.The system will not boot with the latest kernel version Kernel 2.6.38.11 - Kernel 2.6.38.10 . It crashed and resets the system.
But when I am using Kernel 2.6.35.30, then it works, as you can see. As well the kubuntu 64bit CDROM does not work. Crashed as well.

Recently I've been looking to try out a KDE desktop distro on my msi wind u100. Reading that Manriva and Opensuse are good distro that are 'KDE centered', I've been wanting to try them out. I dl'ed the iso files and used unetbootin and mandriva seed to install a 4GB usb drive.
On boot though, the linux kernel could not be found. I read through other complaints about this problem and it turns out that ubuntu's use of a old syslinux is the cuase.
Could someone write me a command line code that updates ubuntu 9.04 to the newest version if possible(safe to do so without killing m install)?
And can someone file a bug report asking for lucid lynx to have the newest version?

I installed Ubuntu Server recently and really liked the ability to customized everything that was installed on it. Although I'm a little cautious about installing the server edition on my laptop, is there a Debian based distro that comes as empty as Ubuntu Server? If not, what's the difference between the server kernel and the one that ships with Ubuntu Desktop?

In Ubuntu Server 10.04, the kernel naming convention went sort of like "vmlinuz-2.6.32.21-server" for servers and "vmlinuz-2.6.32.21-generic" for desktops... Kernel numbers changing for the kernel version, but last signifying whether it was a desktop or a server version of the kernel... Right? At least as much as I've noticed with my 64bit installs.
I recently got a 32bit test server up on Ubuntu 10.10 and I think I'm either confused, maybe things might be different in 10.10 versions or my prior assumptions were wrong? On this test machine, I installed Ubuntu Server 10.10 32bit. After the install, I upgraded packages, then I installed kubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-desktop (in that order). I know the implied resource and security issues-- but this was a test machine to work something out. My observation on this machine is that I cannot find a kernel image on it with "...-server". All the versions of kernel images are "...-generic" All my previous installs of Ubuntu Server have been 64bit installs... and I just assumed all server kernels had "...-server" as the naming convention.
- Is this different for 10.10?
- Is this a difference in the 32bit server/64bit server kernel?
- Did my installs of the GUI's somehow change to the desktop kernel? If so, all my testing in now invalidated- as I'm supposed to be testing on the "server kernel."

I want to make a live-USB containing among others both Ubuntu desktop i386 and Ubuntu desktop AMD64. How do I go about this? I tried using unetbootin, first adding i386 and then amd64, but that failed. My computer with an athlon II did manage to boot, and showed it had booted into the 64-bit version (ram shown was 3.9 GB, i386 goes to about 2.7 I think), my wife's computer with a pentium 4 did not manage to boot, got to a black screen. I think this is because casper has issues, being overwritten (I'd seen something to that effect somewhere), and thus only the latest version added being booted (in this case amd 64).
I'm under the impression that the startup disc creator included won't help, nor won't the multicd.sh script, so how do I circumvent the issues?

there is an issue with the way the Linux Kernel addresses memory by default and the graphic drivers for my Asus G1Sn. I have a patch that I had compiled against a custom kernel for 2.6.27.xx how ever it does not work with the latest kernel in Fedora 11. It is beyond me to rewrite the patch to work with a different kernel.

I use a pretty fresh installed RHEL 5.4, which should be very similar to Fedora. After the basic installation I installed xen and xen-kernel via yum with no errors. I can select the xen-kernel at boot time. But after booting the normal kernel shows up.
[root@noname boot]# uname -r
2.6.18-164.11.1.el5
My /boot/grub/menu.lst looks like:
default=1
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
[code]....
I can't see anything wrong and I did not change/try anything.

Since an Aptitude upgrade to my Debian Squeeze operating system (using video driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86-195.36.24) some weeks ago, which installed linux kernel 2.6-32-5-686, grub has been giving me two boot options (in addition to MS Windows). I expect that this is quite normal so far ...
However, if I try to boot using this new kernel, rather than kernel 2.6-32-3-686, I can only get the command line interface. Everything seems to work after boot with the new kernel, except (although the system seems to load kdm successfully) I cannot start X. Booting with the old kernel still takes me to the desktop as normal (I've set KDE to automatically bypass kdm, as I'm the only user of this standalone PC), and because of this I've been slow to address the issue with kernel 2.6-32-5-686, but since the problem doesn't seem to be going away with more recent upgrades, I suppose a request to the forum is the only way to go:
So, is the problem I'm having the same as was addressed in this thread? If not, would I only need to reinstall the same NVIDIA video driver so that it recognises the new kernel? If not, would installing NVIDIA-Linux-x86-256.35 solve the problem, and would I have to deinstall the old video driver first? Finally, if and when I solve the problem, can I safely deinstall the old 2.6-32-3-68 kernel?

I'm running testing, so yesterday I upgraded to the new kernel (2.6.38). Unluckly I can't get to the desktop, because the system just hangs (screen goes black then nothing happens). I have found that my problem is the radeon (open-source) driver. When the it tries to get to the desktop it enters an infinite loop, so the system hangs. The bug is better described here: [URL]. However, I don't know how to fix it. I would prefer not to go to the fglrx (proprietary) driver because of tearing issues.

I recently installed Fedora 13 to learn more about it. I am new to this particular Distro but not completely new to Linux. After I installed Fedora 13 I did yum update and after it was finished I discovered that the i686 PAE kernel installed. I am not opposed to the PAE kernel being there and I read a little bit about it on various websites...
As far as I can tell it only actually addresses more than 3 GB of RAM if the software you are using is made to run on more than 3GB of RAM. BUT my question is this: is there any software at all in the ordinary set of desktop packages that would in any way benefit from having, for example, 8 GB of RAM in a 32-bit system running a PAE Kernel?
For example, running Audacity, Rhythmbox, an Open Office Document and Firefox I have never found that there was any real lag or problem with having only 3 GB of RAM... so what is really being added with the PAE kernel to a desktop system.

I recently install 64-bit OpenSuse 11.3, the first time I'd used Suse 64-bit - I have to say it has been all good so far, which is great. However, today I was experimenting with a tool that tests vulnerabilities which should be remedied if using an NX capable processor. I am running 2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop on an Intel Core i7. I downloaded a 64-bit compatible version of paxtest from :
[URL]
Running it I was surprised to see that the NX capabilities of the CPU do not appear to be honored. Here are my results:
PaXtest - Copyright(c) 2003,2004 by Peter Busser <peter@adamantix.org>
Released under the GNU Public Licence version 2 or later
Mode: blackhat
Linux callandor 2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2010-10-25 08:40:12 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Executable anonymous mapping : Killed
Executable bss : Killed
[code]....
From my understanding, NX was one of the big deals a few years back and was a main feature provided by the PAE kernel. I would have thought the default 64-bit kernel would have included NX support. I also thought per NX bit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that NX support has been in the kernel since 2.6.8 I looked in config-2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop but did not see anything related to NX/XD config wise, other than DEBUG_NX_TEST What am I missing here? Shouln't this test fail in the Executable [bss, stack, etc.] tests on 64-bit with a NX capable processor?

I installed the latest kernel liquorix (2.6.35) but when i want to install the Nvidia driver downloaded on the Nvidia website (256.53), i have an error message because Nvidia doesn't found the kernel source tree.
I install linux-image-2.6.35-6.dmz.2-liquorix-686_2.6.35-16_i386.deb, linux-headers-2.6.35-6.dmz.2-liquorix-686_2.6.35-16_i386.deb and build-essential. I don't understand why the installation doesn't works.

This morning I noticed that there was an update to the kernel ready in the Update Manager, to version 2.6.35-25. I let Update Manager do its thing and I restarted my computer when it prompted me to.If I select 2.6.35-25-generic in Grub, Ubuntu boots just fine, all the way to the login screen. However, after entering my password, it looks like Gnome is going to load, but it never does. All I see is the default wallpaper and nothing else; the system locks up and does not respond to any input; and the fans start spinning at full-speed. My only option at this point is to do a hard shutdown. I have no problems if I select the kernel I was using previously: 2.6.35-24-generic
