Bonzo, Go to http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/, look for the 2.5.34-lucid folder (not the ones with the rc- suffix - those are release candidates), and download three files - the linux- headers-2.6.34-020634-all.deb file, the linux- headers-2.6.34-020634-generic_2.6.34-020634-amd64.deb, and the linux- image-2.6.34-020634-generic_2.6.34-020634-amd64.deb. That's for a 64-bit installation such as I have. If you have the 32-bit installation, substitute the versions that end with i386.deb for those last two files only.
Install the "all.deb" file first. You should just be able to double- click on them and gdebi package manager should launch. Afterwards, reboot and it should go to your new kernel by default. You will have to reinstall any proprietary drivers that were hand-installed - for example, I had to reinstall the Broadcom proprietary driver. Couple of other patches needed to be applied to the new kernel as well - one for the CD eject button, one to fix a ureadahead error on bootup. If you have problems on bootup you can hold the shift key down and get a menu allowing you to boot into your old kernel. Probably you should make a copy of any important docs before trying the new kernel. -- water effect not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/517942 You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
