[06:58] <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. 
[06:59] <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
[07:00] <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. 
[07:01] <MoPac> Ah, sorry about that.  I was directed by the second FAQ at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/FAQ
[07:02] <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) 
[07:03] <geofft> (I'm not part of the kernel team, I'm just a user) 
[07:08] <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
[07:11] <MoPac> Or would I need both, as some forum banter suggests?
[07:12] <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" 
[07:13] <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

[18:08] <geofft> apw: does http://debathena.mit.edu/trac/ticket/1309 look like a correct summary of our discussion re OpenAFS? 
[18:10] <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? 
[20:46] <cyril_> hi
[22:13] <apw> geofft, that describes it pretty well indeed
[22:14] <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
