Re: [ubuntu-in] How do I update the kernel using the terminal?
Thanks Onkar. Now I know how to update the kernel when a new one comes out. I had been able to use one of the previous methords to install a newer kernel and the results were'nt good so I am back to using the default one that shipped with the cd.

If you like interactive programs more then you can use aptitude to install packages from terminal. Just do 'sudo aptitude'. In case you just want a simple command use command 'sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic'. linux-image-generic is a meta packages which always depends on latest kernel for the ubuntu version you are using and other related packages like restricted modules.

Re: [ubuntu-in] How do I update the kernel using the terminal?
Anyone didn't mention kernelcheck(http://kcheck.sourceforge.net) KernelCheck is a project that is designed to easily build the latest kernel for your distribution using the instructions provided in the Master Kernel Thread. This automated process is a fork of AutoKernel by Robert Wolterman (xtacocorex), Timothy Janssen (mentok), and Kristof Verbeken (PinguinZ). KernelCheck is currently licensed under the GNU General Public License. Current Features * Ability to download, compile and install latest kernel automatically * Ability to compare latest kernel information with your current running kernel * GUI designed with Glade provides easy accessibility for any user Supported Platforms At the moment, KernelCheck is only supported on Debian-Based platforms. Some of these include Debian, Ubuntu (or any derivatives), Mint, etc. RPM and Slackware based are planned to be supported in the future. Goals * To provide every Linux user with a tool to help automate the complicated kernel-building process * Provide an easy-to-use, newbie friendly tool to ease the burden of compiling kernels * Provide an open-source program that all people can edit to their needs * Build a tool based on the AutoKernel idea by PinguinZ, but with more functionality * Help the Linux community on its journey to defeat the evil Microsoft empire * Features waiting to be integrated * Automatically optimize the kernel to the user's needs * Decrease user-interactivity for a smoother and easier building process http://kcheck.sourceforge.net/ Regards, Gaurish Sharma www.gaurishsharma.com -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

I asked for the reason, that if you had some good reason then people could have guided you better. Since you want to just play around with it, you can try either or all of those methods.

Thanks Raseel for that command but it looks like 2.6.24-20-generic has no installation candidate. Mehel: There is actually no reason. I just wanted to try. Why? Wouls something happen if I was using an updated kernel from the repositories?

Does > anybody know how I can update to the latest version?? 1) You want the latest version available in ubuntu's official repositories? 2) Or the latest stable release from kernel.org? 3) Or the cutting edge git checkout? For 1, you will need to run upgrades. In case you want a kernel from a higher release without upgrading full distro, i.e. if you're using hardy but want the kernel bundled with intrepid, you need to look at apt-pinning[1]. For 2, you can download the kernel from kernel.org[2], configure it using make menuconfig or make xconfig. Then you can use package management tools to package it as a deb, but this will be a lengthy process as you will have to compile the packages. Also, for newbies it takes quite a few trial and errors to get a working config. You could search for custom kernel compilation with ubuntu. Couple of useful links I could find are on howtoforge[3] and ubuntuforums[4]. For 3, you will need to install git[5] from ubuntu repositories[6] and checkout the latest kernel source then compile it using the method shown in reference 3. You can also view git users documentation on kernel.org[7]. All this said and done, what is your primary reason for wanting to upgrade to a newer kernel, once the reason is stated people would get a clearer idea and give better suggestions.
