| MoPac | Hello -- during an in -place update from quetzal to ringtail, my boot partition ran out of space when installing the 3.8 kernel (100mb not enough for two kernels at once...sigh). It threw a bunch of errors and then had me restart a couple of times and seems unstable. | 06:58 |
|---|---|---|
| MoPac | Is there an easy way for me to error-check and/or refresh the kernel files in my boot directory? | 06:59 |
| MoPac | doing a manual install from cache search linux-image tells me I have the latest versoin, but I assume that didn't involve an integrity check | 06:59 |
| geofft | You could run debsums on the linux-image-`uname -r` package. Or apt-get reinstall it. (You likely also want to run update-grub for good measure) | 07:00 |
| geofft | This is not a support channel, though. | 07:00 |
| MoPac | Ah, sorry about that. I was directed by the second FAQ at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/FAQ | 07:01 |
| geofft | Oh, well, maybe it is. :) (I just started lurking here a few days ago 'cause I have some development things I want to work out with the kernel team) | 07:02 |
| geofft | (I'm not part of the kernel team, I'm just a user) | 07:03 |
| MoPac | I assume that I want the generic image and not the "extra" version? | 07:08 |
| MoPac | I seem to remember seeing the word extra during the update process | 07:08 |
| MoPac | Or would I need both, as some forum banter suggests? | 07:11 |
| geofft | I'm not sure what you need, but it's easy enough to see if you have it installed (or partly installed) already | 07:12 |
| geofft | Run "dpkg -l" and the package name, and see if you get a line that starts with "ii" | 07:12 |
| MoPac | I don't have it -- I think that may have been the error, actually -- that there wasn't enough room for the extra package | 07:13 |
| MoPac | Makes sense now. But I'll clear it all out and add both | 07:13 |
| MoPac | thanks for your help | 07:13 |

| geofft | apw: does http://debathena.mit.edu/trac/ticket/1309 look like a correct summary of our discussion re OpenAFS? | 18:08 |
| geofft | Relatedly, uh, ubuntu-kernel@l.u.c is _ridiculously_ high-traffic. Is there a list that just gets emails about new kernel versions in the PPA? | 18:10 |
| cyril_ | hi | 20:46 |
| apw | geofft, that describes it pretty well indeed | 22:13 |
| apw | geofft, not currently, but it might no be unreasonable to raise that on the list | 22:14 |
| geofft | OK, will do | 22:14 |
| geofft | and thanks re confirming my writeup is correct | 22:14 |
