I switched to the generic-pae kernal image, which works great, but update now wants to update both generic and generic-pae.
How can I set it up so that it only uses generic-pae?
If I try to deselect generic in synaptic it just wants to mark it again.
I am trying to figure out how to load the generic kernel in Grub2.
I have run the /usr/hare/mkinitrd/mkinitrd_command_generator.sh and ran the output:
Code:
Why this will not load.
I want to compile a custom kernel, because I need a path for a device. Here is what I've done:
Code:
$ cd /media/work/temp/
$ apt-get build-dep --no-install-recommends linux-image-$(uname -r)
$ apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)
$ cd linux-2.6.31

ppa:kernel-ppa/ppa
...which currently has 2.6.35-19.25-generic

...which currently has 2.6.35.3-maverick (even has later version 2.6.36-rc2-maverick)
AND

...which currently has 2.6.35.3 (even has later versions 2.6.36-rc2 and 2.6.36-rc2-git4)
Are they the same? Which is newer? Is 2.6.35-19-generic = 2.6.35.3?
I have a Medion Akoya E1212 netbook (which is an ALDI rebrand of the MSI Wind netbook) and naturally I'm trying to get the longest battery life possible Already running Ubuntu (Lucid) Netbook Edition (though Moblin seems interesting too) and of course keeping a close look at powertop.One of the things powertop can do, is disable unused USB devices [with the 'U' key]. There is, however, one persistent USB device that keeps popping up in powertop's list no matter how often I press 'U': my SD-card drive (which is apparently internally connected via USB). And it appears in the list regardless of whether I have inserted an SD-card in it or not.
When I use Nautilus to navigate to computer://, I can see the SD-card drive as an icon named "USB Generic Multicard", sitting next to my internal harddisk. I can rightclick and "eject" it, causing the icon to disappear, and the entry in powertop's list disappears as well.My question, is there a way to make sure that the "USB Generic Multicard" USB device doesn't mount at all during startup? [Or, preferably that it detects whether an SD card it present (rarely) to decide whether to mount or not].And if anyone knows the command-line command to "eject" the USB Generic Multicard device, that would also be great cause it would save me starting Nautilus every time (which is slow).
I've just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a USb drive, using the 4gb persistence option, and tried to install all available updates. The process went smoothly until it tried to update the kernel, and it just refuses to do that. I now only have 1.5gb of space left, that might possibly be causing the problem?Here's the terminal output of sudo dpkg --configure -a
Code:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
Setting up linux-image-2.6.35-25-generic (2.6.35-25.44) ...
[code]....
recently I upgraded to test Ubuntu Natty. It's very unstable, so I don't recommend you trying it yet.
Anyways, the thing is that when I upgraded it build two new kernels 2.6.38-8-generic-pae and 2.6.38-8-generic. For some reason when I boot with 2.6.38-8-generic-pae nothing happens, and I can boot only with 2.6.38-8-generic. So I have a couple of questions:
1) What's the difference between the pae kernel and the generic kernel
2) Does anybody else experience this problem?
Just installed the patches/upgrades for the 2.6.35.30 kernel. Ubuntu will not boot without me typing "y" and hitting enter and later hitting the enter key again. Just have a blank screen unless I do this. Discovered what to do by booting into recovery mode. Had to make a display selection. Just guess at the enter key the second time the boot process stopped. I new to Ubuntu so don't know where to look in the logs to provide additional information to help trouble shoot the problem. If some one can guide me as to where to look I'll post log info. Hope this is the right place to post this. If I need to make a bug report let me know.
Forgot to add: HP Pavalion dv5000 (dv5020us to be specific). AMD Turion64 processor. ATI Radeon Mobility 200M video.
I've heard back and forth about whether the generic ATI drivers in Fedora 11 provides functional 3d support...as of installing F11 (64) i was impressed by the initial capability of the generic drivers but no 3d support as Desktop Effects could not be enabled.( using ATI Radeon HD 2400 ) what are the usual tips and tricks to get 3d functionality in this environment?

I did an update recently and it won't continue booting past a certain point - which I think is rather strange, the last message I can manage to see is:

No. That's not a typo. I couldn't believe my own eyes - I took a picture: [URL]
I can guarantee you this is not a joke. I suspect my video card is aging on me as I get a 'London Pound" symbol on my CLI terminal sometimes.
Anyway, that's not the real issue for me. I cannot start into 2.6.31-17, but I can start into 2.6.31-16 - is anyone else having this problem?
Edit: Restarting doesn't give me the crypto dicks thing but I still get another common error:

I've played about with Live CD's and sort of got it working on a PS3, but that's about it. Now, my problem.
Basically, what happened is that I installed Ubuntu 9.10, and then I installed whatever updates it wanted, and then ...17-generic pops up, but doesn't do anything other than load up a terminal type thing full screen.
Here's everything GRUB says.

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be part of the updates I did, but to be completely honest I'm not even slightly certain.
I don't know if there's any more info you'd need from me about my computer, but if there is could you tell me how to find it.
So the questions I'm asking really: Is meant to be an updated version? and if so, How do I make it do what it's meant to do?
After installing Ubuntu my Windows XP BSOD's on startup. I have posted in a Windows forum, but they seem to be terrified that I've used the word "Ubuntu" or maybe I'm being plain impatient. Do you know of anywhere which specialises in dual-boot problems or something? Thanks again
My installatio with 250mg root partition is nealy full after an updrade of linux-generic which has kept the old kernel and modules.
I can easily delete them or is the a way to instruct apt-get or dpkg to only keep the current version?
some weeks ago I've installed ubuntu 10.04 beta desktop, in that version the module sg was present using modprobe (the sg.ko file was not present). I need the sg module because of some scsi driver that require it.
Today I've installed the 10.04 server and modprobe sg returns a not found. I would like to install it or make it visible as in the beta version.
I reported a bug at [URL].., then I had been asked to test the latest generic kernel in order to test whether the bug exist in latest kernel or not. I had read the information at [URL]... I installed the most current version of generic kernel. After that, I restart my computer and try to use the latest installed kernel. Then, the laptop freeze. Then, I restart my computer by turning off and on again, select the older kernel, successfully boot into Ubuntu to post this thread. What can I do since I am required to test the latest generic kernel?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed Mint 9 and directly after installation there were updates to download and install, which I did. One of the updates is a newer kernel, 2.6.32-24-generic.
When I manually install the nVidia driver 256.44 and restart gdm it works. When I reboot I land in low resolution, have to remove and re-install the older (195.36) driver through "Hardware Drivers". Somehow the new kernel and the latest nVidia don't match together. Am I the only one suffering from this or are there more people with this problem,and what to do about it?
I just noticed I'm not running with the latest kernel.
This box was originally installed as Ubuntu 10.04, then upgraded to 10.10.
I just recently noticed that, even though kernel 2.6.35-24-generic is installed, this box seems to insist on booting up with 2.6.32-24-generic.
Looking at /boot/menu.lst, it looks ok. (default is 0, and first kernel in list is 2.6.35-24. 2.5.32-24 is the *last* one in the list!)

Can any one tell me what should I do? Is this Ok for using the compiled vmlinux image?where can I find the correstponding initrd file if this kernal compile is Ok?
i have F12 with kernel 2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686.PAE. But i just have 2gb ram, so im not really needing to use a PAE kernel. So i was thinking on change my kernel to a 2.6.32 generic, but the fact is that im not sure if i can do that, and i could, how??

I run it overnight using a cron job.I tried to write it so it is clonable and easily modified for making backups of your system.

When there are more thanNUMBER_REQUIRED_BACKUPS in the backed-up directory $BACKUP_GROUPNAME, the oldest backup will be deleted. This allows you to keep n number of the latest backups.

View 2 Replies View RelatedOne thing I always do is switch to the vmlinuz-generic(-smp) kernel in /etc/lilo.conf and build an initrd (see /boot/README.initrd for details). The "huge" kernel used by default is only meant for installing and not recommended for everyday use. It has a lot of drivers you don't need built-in and uses more RAM than the "generic" kernels.
still trying to find my feet and get to know Slackware. In one of my previous threads, 'things to do after installing' i was told the above message. When i installed, it used the huge kernel, but i'm unsure if that was the one that got installed. when i start slackware up, above the login screen it say, �wecome to Linux 2.6.37.6-smp (tty1)� I was wondering how to swich to the generic smp kernel, do I just change the vmlinuz to the desired, in lilo?
Where can I get a copy of the 2.6.33.4 config that comes with Slackware? Also, can I get a binary of the kernel, the one that comes with Slackware 13.1?
