Ubuntu Servers :: Installs Of The GUI's Somehow Change To The Desktop Kernel?
Apr 4, 2011
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."

Is the kernel and core system same in server and desktop 9.10? How do I update/upgrade server similar to what update manager does in desktop?

So I have decided to switch to ubuntu since xp gave out on me. Everything seemed so easy during install untill it randomly shut off. It now does this during different stages of installation but never gets further than after entering my user details and beginning the install. Its not faulty hardware as boots into xp home ed fine. I want a full install of ubuntu only though.I have tried both 10.04 and 10.10 (32 bit) booting from Live CDs (3 diff copys, as was paranoid of probs with the iso download)
The hardwares largely unknown but easily ran xp media center previously a year or 2 before. I'm very confident its not underpowered for this.As you can probably tell I'm completely new to this and not overly technical. I have looked around and some things suggest a problem with graphics cards.

I just did an upgrade and it included the kernel. As time goes by, I will be stuck with a lot of kernels to choose from, and lower disk space. How do I remove an older kernel and everything it's related to it without breaking stuff?

What happened to kde-core? I have two choices of bloat, kde-standard or kde-full. I don't want stuff like konqueror or kmail. I don't want Gwenview, Okular, or Ksnapshot. I don't care for all the media players. I don't need Kaddressbook or Korganizer. Is there a way to do a normal, minimalistic install without this stuff or am I screwed? I want to reinstall on my laptop and the boss' laptop and would prefer not to have the extras,

I was installing Ubuntu 9.04 64bit server from the CD on a machine that I normally run ESXi on. I wanted to test disk speed on a direct install vs. the install in ESXi, so I installed a 4th hard disk, shutdown ESXi, and installed Ubuntu directly on the new disk (4th Bios disk - SCSI:3 or sdd). When I tried to boot from this disk, nothing happened. I rebooted from the ESXi install disk (SCSI:2 or sdc), all was fine. Playing around, I finally found that to boot the ubuntu install, i had to boot from SCSI:0 - Grub had installed there, even though I never indicated that disk for anything during the install. It would be much better if Grub ASKED where it should be install, rather than assuming.

In the end, I am trying to dual boot my MacBook Pro with Fedora 14 and OSX. I am having issues getting the bootloader working for Fedora though. I have setup my partition table like this:
/sda1 - EFI
/sda2 - OSX
/sda3 - /boot
/sda4 - LVM (root, home, swap)
Fedora installs fine, and the bootloader installs to sda3. I use rEFIt to allow me to boot to my Linux partition, but when I do I get "no bootable device". I have done a little reading and have found people have problems doing with this with GRUB (default Fedora bootloader). So what I would like to do is try installing LILO or maybe even GRUB2. how to change the bootloader Fedora installs from the Live CD?

my problem is on installing nvidia driver on fc12 32bit but, first of all, as i understood the pae kernel requires more than 4gb of ram,i have a 2.2 ghz cpu with 2 gb ram,but when i run command:uname -r it answers: 2.6.31.5-127.PAE [i have fc12 32 bit] when we try to download linux we have a 32bit edition or 64bit edition,do we have an edition which is only for pae? or when we install for example the 32bit edition on a computer with more than 4gb of ram then the kernel automatically will change to be a pae kernel??

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.

After installing gnome-color-chooser for Ubuntu 10.10, I followed all the steps to enable transparent gnome menu. When I logged out and logged back into my user, the gnome panel menu was transparent as It should be however, the desktop background changed color and I cannot change the desktop by right clicking the desktop. If I do right click and try to, the entire desktop and all programs freeze. The mouse works but that is it. Whenever I try to open gnome-color-chooser, I get this error message : ERROR Could not open or create file /home/User/.gtkrc-2.0-gnome-color-chooser. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both gnome color chooser and gnome panel with no luck.

My laptop has only 2GB of RAM so I don't think I need the PAE kernel, also there are some drivers that I want to install, they were built for non-PAE kernel.
So far I read that I have to change the :
/etc/sysconfig/kernel
---------
# UPDATEDEFAULT specifies if new-kernel-pkg should make
# new kernels the default
UPDATEDEFAULT=yes

#2 what do I change to single click to choose items (not double click) ?

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 have Lucid on my laptop. Unfortunately, with the various 2.6.32 kernels neither hibernate nor suspend work, so I've installed and use the last 2.6.31 kernel that came with Karmic.Now, I'd like to set it as default, so that I don't need to actively choose it when I boot. The problem is that I can't find a way to set Grub (version 2.0, or 1.96rc, can't remember) to pick the 2.6.31 kernel and if I try to uninstall the 2.6.32-23 kernel synaptic says that linux-generic and linux-headers will also be uninstalled (not just the parts specific to 2.6.32-23).

Now I know this is an Ubuntu forum, but my question is really for Linux distros in general. An obvious newbie to linux, I was just wondering if I could change the default desktop environment that comes with distros: for example Ubuntu comes with GNOME. There is a way to change that to something like, for example, xfce or Openbox right? Or are these environments set for each distro?

I am running 11.04 on a Dell Inspiron 1500 series laptop. I updated my computer yesterday, and now my desktop theme is different. In 10.04, changing the theme was easy, just go to appearance settings and choose. For some reason, when I go to appearance and select a theme now, the only options I get are customize and install, neither of which do anything to help me change my theme. The install button takes me to my home directory...presumably to pick a theme file. But I can't find any themes in my home directory.

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 haven't used Linux very much, so I'm not sure how to do this. I'm presently running the 2.6.24-26 version of the Linux kernel on Ubuntu. However, I need to upgrade to 2.6.32. I have the source files (arch, block, firmware, drivers, kernel, include, etc), but I have no idea how to change the source of the kernel, or if there's an easier/automatic way to do this, and I specifically need the 2.6.32 version.
