[05:43] <xxthink> How to upgrade the kerenel of my 64 bit ubuntu 9.10 2.6.32
[05:43] <xxthink> I have downloaded the deb package
[05:43] <xxthink> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.33-rc5/linux-headers-2.6.33-020633rc5-generic_2.6.33-020633rc5_amd64.deb
[05:43] <xxthink> and 
[05:43] <xxthink> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.33-rc5/linux-image-2.6.33-020633rc5-generic_2.6.33-020633rc5_amd64.deb
[05:43] <xxthink> How to install it?
[05:43] <dhillon-v10> xxthink: any specific reason to upgrade the kernel ?
[05:43] <xxthink> now the kernel is 2.6.31
[05:43] <dhillon-v10> xxthink: a lot of other stuff can break because of updating the kernel
[05:44] <xxthink> dhillon-v10: this kernel version is too slow for me
[05:44] <crimsun> xxthink: you also need linux-libc-dev and linux-headers-2.6.33-020633rc5
[05:45] <dhillon-v10> xxthink: :) when the ubuntu kernel team releases the next version you will get an SRU so until then don't worry about it, you can screw up a *lot* of stuff on your computer, but if you don't care then its okay :)
[05:45] <xxthink> dhillon-v10: I now need this latest kernel
[05:45] <xxthink> especially for my 64 bit unbutu server edition
[05:45] <dhillon-v10> xxthink: alirght then, let me get the link in a sec.
[05:48] <xxthink> ok
[05:54] <xxthink> dhillon-v10: do you find the corresponding link？
[05:56] <johanbr> xxthink, there's no particular reason to believe the next kernel version would be faster
[05:56] <xxthink> http://x264dev.multimedia.cx/?p=185
[05:56] <johanbr> unless it's due to a bug and it's been fixed in the next version
[05:56] <xxthink> this is why I use the latest version
[05:57] <xxthink> the thread scheduling efficiency is low for me. This problem is fixed in 2.6.32 version and later
[05:57] <johanbr> ahh, okay
[05:58] <johanbr> if you download linux-image-blah and the corresponding linux-headers-blah package and install those, you should be fine
[05:58] <xxthink> johanbr: but I don't know how to install
[05:58] <xxthink> I just download the two deb package
[05:58] <johanbr> sudo dpkg -i linux*deb
[05:58] <xxthink> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.33-rc5/linux-headers-2.6.33-020633rc5-generic_2.6.33-020633rc5_amd64.deb
[05:59] <xxthink> ok, let me try
[06:00] <xxthink> johanbr: where these two package should be placed?
[06:01] <johanbr> anywhere
[06:01] <xxthink> in the same folder?
[06:02] <johanbr> yes
[06:19] <dhillon-v10> xxthink: sorry had to go: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[06:20] <xxthink> dhillon-v10: I have installed the kerenel 2.6.33 I have downloaded before
[14:47] <sroecker> hi, how do I check if my acpi has a backlight interface?
[23:34] <RAOF> Oh, it's still Sunday for most of the kernel team, isn't it.
[23:42] <jk-> most of it :)
