I ran a dist-upgrade from dapper to hardy, and it was pretty ok.. It finished updating without problems, but I had to run the install script for hardy to get emc2 installed again (it was removed during the update, because external repositories don't get updated automatically). I ended up with the 2.6.15-magma kernel on the hardy machine, but after running the install script I had the 2.6.24-16-rtai along with emc2. (no other kernel is installed on that machine).
Regards, Alex PS: if you don't care about regular kernel updates, you can simply remove the linux-image-generic metapackage. Because the kernels are called linux-image-2.6.24-xx-generic, they can't simply be pulled in as updates (different package names), so what Ubuntu did is have a meta package (linux-image-generic or something like that), which always depends on the latest kernel. So when they release a new version, they make a new package name, and bump the version of the meta package. So if the meta package isn't installed, no new kernel version gets installed. ----- Original Message ----- From: "sam sokolik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2008 7:10 PM Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Back on Ubuntu 8.04 + EMC2 Problems > Those are 2 separate issues.
