Ubuntu Installation :: Upgraded To 10.04 But Cannot Use Kernel 2.6.32-22.32+
Jun 20, 2010
I had upgraded to 10.04 but can not use kernel 2.6.32-22.32+, I had to go back to kernel 2.6.31-21. because of the default video driver had change from the one kernel to the other, and I do not know how the correct it. In 2.6.32-22 the font would change and to a smaller size and I can barely view anything because it looks like some two year old puke a box of crayons all over the screen.
Second issue is it does not matter what power-saving mode I am in, in 5 minutes time it with go into suspension. Or right after coming out of hibernate, it will go into suspension indefinitely and no coming out of it and must to a hard boot.
This the second time it has happened after the security upgrade to kernel 2.6.31-19 with a clean shut down it goes into the grub menu and will not boot.
I upgraded to 2.6.35-30.56 last night and now my system's a little flaky. Everything seems to be running ever-so-slightly slower and fullscreen flash is now choppy. The weird thing is the Grub menu upon bootup only shows the latest kernel, but not the previous kernels. Doing an "ls" of the /boot folder only shows this newest kernel. I'd like to revert back to the previous kernel but don't know how.
each time i upgrade my kernel, my installation of lirc fails to work after the upgrade, and i have to re-compile (against new kernel) and install the lirc modules... which i do via something like:
I have kernel 2.6.26 and I think I need 2.6.27, but update manager says my system is up-to-date. How do I get an upgraded kernel? I have a wireless card but I cannot find anything in the UI to enable it, or connect to my home net. Would Debian come with a connection manager with an oddball name?
I just upgraded the kernel from 2.6.32-24 to 2.6.32-25. When it was finished it logged me out of XFCE without warning (is that normal)? Now if I try to log in to XFCE the screen goes blank and I just get returned to the login screen. I can log in to GNOME however. I get the same problem if I boot into -24 or -25.
I'd like to upgrade a live ISO file before burning a new CD.
So, following the instructions in "How to Customise the Ubuntu Desktop CD", I chrooted to the squashfs and ran "apt-get update/upgrade/dist-upgrade", expecting apt-get to upgrade the chroot kernel... only to find out that apparently, even when being chrooted, this command upgrades the actual kernel. I guess it makes sense, but I was under the - wrong - impression that chroot would build a filesystem totally isolated from the underneath host.
So I rebooted to use this new kernel:
Next, since the Nouveau video driver requires the kernel header files, I ran the following:
Code:
I don't understand why apt-get upgrades the kernel but won't install its header files.

I upgraded a PC from 10.04.1 to 10.10 and it will not boot into the new kernel. Because the system started as Ubuntu 7.10, it is using Grub 1.
It gets to the point where it displays "Starting up..." then displays a flashing cursor at the upper left of the screen, it does nothing further.
Yet it will boot into the previous kernel from the 10.04.1 installation, but X will crash if I login using the XFCE desktop, yet it will log into LXDE without a problem.
Is this a known issue (not booting up with new kernel)?
The CPU is an AMD Athlon 32-bit which does have CMOV (per cat /proc/cpuinfo). I have also manually run various apt-get commands to upgrade/update everything, no change resulted.
I recently upgraded my Debian kernel to 2.6.35 via backports and reinstalled my graphic driver. But when I try to use certain apps, it just sits there in the taskbar trying to load for a couple minutes, then automatically closes itself. Specifically I've noticed the nvidia x-server menu and open office doing this, while they both worked fine before I upgraded the kernel. some apps will do this, while others will work fine.
I just installed kernel version 2.6.26-rc2.5.1, but "uname -r" is still giving me 2.6.36-rc2-5-default. Am I booting with the new kernel? How can I tell? If not, how do I create a new boot option?
When I first did my install of Slackware 13.37, I installed the 2.6.38.4 kernel from /testing.
I did a "upgradepkg testing/kernel*.t?z"
Well just now I realized that there was a kernel-headers package in /testing, and I've heard that you should only use the kernel headers that glibc was compiled with.
So did I make a mistake installing the kernel-headers from /testing?
And if I revert back to the stock kernel-headers package, will I have to recompile all the programs I've compiled with the 2.6.38.4 headers?
For portability reasons; I am building a standalone kickstart ISO; based of Cent5.2. I am to the point where I can load my ks file (linux ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg), it reads it fine; and performs the install as I want.
Where I am having a problem; is a good way to have the install use upgraded RPM's, not the base; specifically a kernel with a few needed tweaks in it; which is packaged in an rpm.
I attempted to place my kernel rpm's into the CentOS directory and rerun creatrepo; but I simply managed to corrupt the base repo on the install media.
I upgraded a week ago to ubuntu 10.10 (amd64). I was unable to boot in 2.6.35-22 so I have been using 2.6.32-25. I tried again last night after installing updates to 2.6.35-22. Still no luck.I gave up since this was much like what happened a week ago and I couldn't find any solutions then. (I ran memtest then.)
The software manager has been nagging me to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 for some time now. I finally gave in and clicked on Upgrade. After the upgrade completed, my computer won't start. It just flashes Ubuntu for a split second and goes to a black screen. I happen to have the 10.04 CD from Canonical, and I tried that, and it won't launch the installer either; just a logo and a black screen. Since I can't even get to the terminal to diagnose and fix whatever's wrong, I'm installing 9.10 from the CD that I ordered from Canonical a long time ago. I went through all the graphical options just like the first time I installed 9.10, and it's in the process of installing right now.
I don't really have time to futz with it because I need my laptop for when I go and visit my mum for Thanksgiving. Maybe I'll try after the holidays if I can get some feedback on what might have gone wrong with 10.04.
I have a 10.04 installation upgraded from 9.10 somewhere around the first beta.However, since a couple weeks I have the problem that I cannot use nano anymore.
Code: mypc:~$ nano Segmentation fault
I've tried to do apt-get remove nano then installed but stil the same,Even tried apt-get purge but with no avail.
I upgraded 9.10 to 10.04 and now it won't boot. The way 9.10 used to boot was after turning on the computer it would go through the bios screen and then a screen would come up and list both operating systems, Windows Xp and Ubuntu. XP would be highlighted and would normally boot if I did not change the highlighted area. If I changed the highlighted area to Ubuntu it would boot into Ubuntu 9.10. Now after doing the upgrade, it gets to the same screen with the two operating systems listed.
When I change the highlighted to Ubuntu an error message is briefly displayed and then it goes back to the screen that lists both operating systems. I think the error message says something like couldn't find Ubuntu, or something similiar to that. Windows XP runs fine when I highlight Windows XP in that first screen, but I want to be able to run Ubuntu. I have Ubuntu on a secondary drive, but shouldn't it have rewritten the upgraded files on that same drive that had 9.10 on it?
I upgraded the Ubuntu 10.04, and afterwards I can't print. Cups won't detect printers, hp-setup won't, hp-probe won't. Tried rebooting, reinstalling HPLIP, & CUPS. Installed latest version of HPLIP. did a purge of HPLIP and CUPS, and reinstalled, rebooted.
i just upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 and now i cant get win xp to boot. win xp will show up on the grub list but when i select it all i get is a blank screen with a cursor flashing in the top left corner. i dunno whats happend, i have never had many problems with dual boot.
Upgraded to MM and it boots, desktop and apps run but cannot access synaptic - gives brief error message. In terminal, ran "sudo apt-get update" and got this message:
Reading package lists... Error! E: Problem parsing dependency Depends E: Error occurred while processing gsfonts (NewVersion1) E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
While using Ubuntu 10.04 my system worked perfectly, now that I've upgraded via the Upgrade Manager, there is no sound on my system. My computer is very Ubuntu friendly, as I've never had this problem with any other version of Ubuntu. What can I do? If I need to reinstall 10.04, or roll back to 10.04, how do I do that? If I can fix by reinstalling 10.10 how do I do that. I dual boot with Windows 7 Pro and Ubuntu 10.10.
So I was on 8.04, and I decided to hit the upgrade button on the gui to upgrade to 10.04. Well the upgrade went fine and all...until I rebooted. Now I get this
Starting up . mount: mounting none on /dev failed: No such device udevd[984]: error getting socket: Invalid argument error initializing netlink socket udevd[984]: error initializing netlink socket
[Code]...
I found some other posts and tried adding the rootdelay=35 and acpi=off but those did not fix it. This is a virtual machine running on VMWare ESXi 4.1.
I have Lubuntu installed on my EEEP 1005HAB. I just successfully upgraded to Naughty Narwhal and it is asking me for my username and password. They don't work. I type my name and password in exactly like I did every time I logged in before, and nothing happens, it just gives me a blank username box again.
After upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04 I only get the text mode login. I have a ATI Radeon HD 3600 card and before upgrade I used the propiertary driver (to make the dual screen mode work).I have tried to download the driver again from ATI and installed that but it does not helped.I have put the Xorg.0.log and some other outputs in http://83.251.70.81/X/
I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 via the update manager and somehow in the middle of it, the package failed. And so I carried on using the ubuntu, rebooted and now the disk is not ready and cannot mount. Press S to skip or M for manual recovery. Skip does nothing, only can use manual recovery.I tried everything from the ubuntu forums & google from other people who had the same problem. The problem is my root terminal on manual recovery doesn't have networking.Only can use liveCD which I still can't connect to the internet because I use wlan0 from ndiswrapper.
I am a dual booter of Ubuntu 10.10 on one partition and Windows XP on other. I edited the grub to boot those. One HDD is partitioned into 2 drives so one partition holds XP and the other partition is a "translator" that holds files which both ubuntu and XP can access. (don't ask me why, I cleaned the dust off my PC recently after 3 years )My outputs are:
/boot/grub/menu.lst
Code: title LINUX - Ubuntu 10.10 - kernel 2.6.35-28-generic root (hd1,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-28-generic root=UUID=85de06c5-cf3e-46b8-8c14-2c217be8dd9d ro vga=0x317 splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-28-generic[code]....
- I commented the UUIDs, that doesn't work.
- I tried remounting it, no effect.
- I fsck'ed it, no effect.
- I booted using LiveCD but cannot connect to the internet due to wireless.
- Cannot apt-get update & upgrade due to no internet.
That's all I remember cos I basically tried alot different ways and cannot get it to boot.I am thinking of formatting the mess and start all over again but I don't really want to do that because it is a good system, just that the grub file and fstab is kinda cluttered.
