| DBAlex | hey | 23:33 |
|---|---|---|
| DBAlex | If I want to upgrade to 2.6.31 is it better to use the .deb's (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.31-rc8/) or compile my own (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild)... | 23:34 |
| DBAlex | if using the deb's, which do I install and in what order? | 23:34 |
| DBAlex | also, i'm running 9.04 x32 on Wubi | 23:35 |
| DBAlex | nvm, found this: http://www.ramoonus.nl/2009/06/10/linux-kernel-2-6-30-installation-guide-for-ubuntu-and-debian-linux/ | 23:40 |
| johanbr | I guess debs would be easier | 23:40 |
| DBAlex | yeah | 23:41 |
| johanbr | just install the linux-image- package. And maybe the corresponding linux-headers- package too. | 23:41 |
| DBAlex | plus cloning the 2.6 tree would take forever at 60kbp/s | 23:41 |
| DBAlex | :/ | 23:41 |
| DBAlex | ok | 23:41 |
| DBAlex | I have /home backed up if this fscks up | 23:41 |
| DBAlex | (this is my first kernel re-install) :-P | 23:42 |
| johanbr | It definitely shouldn't affect /home. | 23:42 |
| johanbr | The worst thing that could happen is that your system won't boot. | 23:42 |
| DBAlex | yeah thats why I backed it up | 23:43 |
| DBAlex | i'll just uninstall and reinstall | 23:44 |
| DBAlex | then copy over /home | 23:44 |
| johanbr | It's often convenient to have /home on a separate partition. Then you can reinstall without losing your files. | 23:46 |
| DBAlex | yeah | 23:46 |
| DBAlex | I think I have that setup on my main PC | 23:47 |
| DBAlex | just this a wubi install, because I never got around to repartitioning | 23:47 |
| DBAlex | I have 9.04 on my main PC, except ext4 not 3 | 23:48 |
| DBAlex | will Karmic use kernel 2.6.31? | 23:49 |
| * DBAlex pokes johanbr | 23:49 | |
| johanbr | yes | 23:49 |
| DBAlex | ok | 23:51 |
| DBAlex | brb | 23:59 |
| DBAlex | reboot | 23:59 |
