| fossterer | Hi! I am running Lubuntu 12.04 with 3.2.0-23-geenric kernel. Can I install 2.6.33 kerenl on it? | 18:34 |
| ianorlin | 12.04 was not an lts for lubuntu I don't really think there is a packacge for that old a 2.6 kernel anyway | 18:36 |
| wxl | yeah packages no, fossterer. you can compile your own. | 18:38 |
| wxl | !kernel | fossterer | 18:38 |
| ubottu | fossterer: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 18:38 |
| fossterer | Do you think I can pull from kernel.org and build? | 18:38 |
| wxl | yep, click the link for info | 18:38 |
| wxl | not for the faint hearted for sure | 18:39 |
| fossterer | wxl: Thanks, I have one final concern.. Weeks ago, I downloaded from kernel.org an advanced kernel on Ubuntu 10.04 and built it.. System just didn't boot into it though the compilation/installation were success.. | 18:43 |
| fossterer | Do you see any issue in that? | 18:43 |
| wxl | fossterer: in general i woudl not suggest using End of Life releases. that would be the issue from my perspective. | 18:44 |
| fossterer | !Stages | 18:54 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu Kernel gets updated in stages. If you have the updated kernel, but do not have the corresponding restricted modules, you may be leaving yourself with no X when you reboot. If you have compiled binary versions of your video driver, eg from the nVidia site, you will need to recompile them for the new kernel. This is normal, and not a bug. | 18:54 |
| fossterer | !seen wxl | 20:01 |
| ubottu | I have no seen command | 20:01 |
| fossterer | !status wxl | 20:01 |
| wxl | !info wxl | 20:02 |
| ubottu | Package wxl does not exist in utopic | 20:02 |
| wxl | darn | 20:02 |
| fossterer | Lol sorry @wxl | 20:02 |
| fossterer | I successfully booted into 2.6.33 kernel by installing it from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.33.6-maverick/. | 20:03 |
| fossterer | Can't I get the sources from linux-source.. .deb? | 20:03 |
| wxl | not sure about this ppa but usually the sources are in a separate repo | 20:03 |
| wxl | http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.33.6-maverick/linux-source-2.6.33_2.6.33-02063306_all.deb | 20:04 |
| fossterer | Not PPA.. That's the same URL I pasted.. | 20:04 |
| fossterer | But dpkg -i linux-source.. deb | 20:05 |
| wxl | well that is the source | 20:05 |
| fossterer | where do I find the source files? /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.33/ is empty! | 20:05 |
| wxl | you could `dpkg-deb --extract *.deb foo/` | 20:06 |
| wxl | assuming foo exists | 20:06 |
| wxl | also i would expect /usr/src to include /linux-headers-2.6.33-6 | 20:08 |
| wxl | you might want to `ls` | 20:08 |
| fossterer | wxl: Here's what I did: 1) dpkg-deb as you said.. and cd into usr/src/linux-source-2.6.33/ and it is empty again | 20:10 |
| wxl | did you do `dpkg-deb --extract *.deb /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.33` ? | 20:10 |
| fossterer | 2) linux-headers is properly installed in /usr/src/ and it has some files | 20:10 |
| fossterer | `dpkg-deb --extract *.deb sources/' I did | 20:11 |
| wxl | then look in .sources/ | 20:11 |
| wxl | ./sources/ | 20:11 |
| fossterer | sources/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.33 is empty | 20:11 |
| wxl | and you used the source deb? | 20:12 |
| fossterer | Yes.. Did you notice that that deb is only 2.2KB in size | 20:12 |
| fossterer | Is that ususal? | 20:12 |
| * wxl shrugs | 20:13 | |
| wxl | the ppa is not really something ubuntu in general supports | 20:13 |
| wxl | you might want to find the maintainers | 20:13 |
| * fossterer :( | 20:13 | |
| wxl | you could ask the kernel team | 20:14 |
| fossterer | on IRC? | 20:14 |
| wxl | perhaps | 20:14 |
| wxl | i'm not sure of how they are best contacted | 20:14 |
| wxl | !mainline | 20:15 |
| ubottu | The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 20:15 |
| wxl | go to that wiki and see what you can figure out | 20:15 |
| fossterer | Thanks wxl: for all this.. | 20:15 |
| Oe_eden | hi! all of a sudden this ugly second volume icon popped up and I cant seem to get rid of it: http://piks.nl/upload/upload/Screenshot%20-%2024-02-15%20-%2021:32:16.png | 20:33 |
| Oe_eden | It is part of the system tray panel | 20:33 |
| Oe_eden | where or how can I edit that | 20:33 |
| ianorlin | Oe_eden, did you install anything with an applet recently cause that could cause it | 20:34 |
| Oe_eden | not that I know of if already checked my apt/history.log | 20:35 |
| Oe_eden | its probably part of something but i dont know what! | 20:36 |
| ianorlin | can you open task manager and look for something that isn't there by defualt | 20:37 |
| Oe_eden | these are the last packages I installed: http://pastebin.com/HvjjZZpN | 20:37 |
| Oe_eden | -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 79160 feb 20 2014 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/plugins/libsystray.so | 20:49 |
| Oe_eden | this idiot binary is the problem I'm pretty sure | 20:49 |
| Oe_eden | fixed! but now my sound is gone! | 20:56 |
| Oe_eden | apt-get remove pulseaudio --purge | 20:57 |
| Oe_eden | log off/on -> fixed! happy :) sorry for spamming the channel with my frustrations | 20:58 |
