| MestreLion | Hi! I assume this is a fairly common question: i have maverick, and i would like to upgrade its kernel from 2.6.35 to 2.6.36. What would be the best approach? (if there is any) | 14:39 |
| MestreLion | (the reason is support to PWM fan control that was only added for my motherboard in 2.6.36 | 14:39 |
| MestreLion | is there any easy, safe, sane approach? | 14:40 |
| An-iSociaL | add it as an additional boot entry so if things go awry you can simply reboot the old one? | 14:41 |
| MestreLion | An-iSociaL: doesn't grub-update automatically does that? | 14:43 |
| MestreLion | update-grub i mean | 14:43 |
| An-iSociaL | not sure | 14:43 |
| MestreLion | for minor updates that usually pop in update manager, it does | 14:43 |
| An-iSociaL | i would usually do that stuff manually cuz im a control freak | 14:43 |
| MestreLion | i mean 2.6.35.xx | 14:44 |
| MestreLion | kernel updates add up in my grub menu... so i think that part is safe | 14:45 |
| MestreLion | but i have no idea on how to obtain and install 2.6.36 (or newer) in maverick | 14:45 |
| MestreLion | im a newbie, so the more automated, pain free, the better.. what is the best approach? | 14:46 |
| An-iSociaL | http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ | 14:47 |
| An-iSociaL | the maverick 2.6.36 is there | 14:48 |
| MestreLion | and what do i need to do? just install all the debs? is that simple? | 14:49 |
| An-iSociaL | couldnt say from your setup | 14:51 |
| An-iSociaL | i would usually end up compiling it from source | 14:51 |
| An-iSociaL | http://askubuntu.com/questions/9504/how-can-i-use-a-2-6-36-kernel-in-maverick | 14:53 |
| An-iSociaL | they suggest it is as simple as installing the deb | 14:53 |
| MestreLion | yes, ive been there... thats how i ended up here | 14:54 |
| MestreLion | how this you get that URL , by the way? i tried to navigate from kernel.ubuntu.com and never found the http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ | 14:55 |
| An-iSociaL | ah | 14:56 |
| An-iSociaL | im not actually any type of ubuntu support person, just another user in chat | 14:56 |
| MestreLion | youre still helping me a lot , and im very grateful | 14:57 |
| An-iSociaL | really here to try n get help compiling 2.6.36 with tegra2 and quantum touch ic touchscreen support under arm | 14:57 |
| An-iSociaL | no worries glad to help | 14:57 |
| MestreLion | by the way.. that is "mainline" ? it means vanilla kernel, without ubuntu/maverick's patches? | 14:59 |
| An-iSociaL | there are vanilla and specific from what i can ascertain, the ones specifically tagged maverick i think have the patches | 15:00 |
| MestreLion | thank you An-iSociaL | 15:05 |
