[05:43] How to upgrade the kerenel of my 64 bit ubuntu 9.10 2.6.32 [05:43] I have downloaded the deb package [05:43] 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] and [05:43] 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] How to install it? [05:43] xxthink: any specific reason to upgrade the kernel ? [05:43] now the kernel is 2.6.31 [05:43] xxthink: a lot of other stuff can break because of updating the kernel [05:44] dhillon-v10: this kernel version is too slow for me [05:44] xxthink: you also need linux-libc-dev and linux-headers-2.6.33-020633rc5 [05:45] 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] dhillon-v10: I now need this latest kernel [05:45] especially for my 64 bit unbutu server edition [05:45] xxthink: alirght then, let me get the link in a sec. [05:48] ok [05:54] dhillon-v10: do you find the corresponding link? [05:56] xxthink, there's no particular reason to believe the next kernel version would be faster [05:56] http://x264dev.multimedia.cx/?p=185 [05:56] unless it's due to a bug and it's been fixed in the next version [05:56] this is why I use the latest version [05:57] the thread scheduling efficiency is low for me. This problem is fixed in 2.6.32 version and later [05:57] ahh, okay [05:58] if you download linux-image-blah and the corresponding linux-headers-blah package and install those, you should be fine [05:58] johanbr: but I don't know how to install [05:58] I just download the two deb package [05:58] sudo dpkg -i linux*deb [05:58] 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] ok, let me try [06:00] johanbr: where these two package should be placed? [06:01] anywhere [06:01] in the same folder? [06:02] yes [06:19] xxthink: sorry had to go: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [06:20] dhillon-v10: I have installed the kerenel 2.6.33 I have downloaded before === nick_ is now known as Guest3006 [14:47] hi, how do I check if my acpi has a backlight interface? === mass-destruction is now known as dhillon-v10 [23:34] Oh, it's still Sunday for most of the kernel team, isn't it. [23:42] most of it :)
