You must uncomment two first lines (if they are commented) and comment two second, check please:
GRUB_DEFAULT=0 GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true ... Save changes and run the following command in terminal: update-grub. Then reboot you system. You will see boot menu with several entries. Just choose kernel version 2.6.31-17 or older. If you want your system boots older version of kernel each time, you turn on your computer, then open /etc/default/grub file once again and set right entry number (starts with zero). For example, you want your system automatically boot linux kernel version 2.6.31-14, which appear on sixth entry in boot menu. Then in /etc/default/grub file you must type this: GRUB_DEFAULT=5 ... 0 - first entry, 1 - second entry, ... , 5 - sixth entry and so on. Don't forget run update-grub command after saving changes! Good luck! ....you will need it because if your system does what mine did, after starting the GUI the keyboard & mouse will not work with anything except the kernel into which you installed the graphics drivers for your video card. I'm starting over with a fresh Ubuntu install on my old laptop prior to reinstalling Windows on a new drive for it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/507824 Title: Linux kernel 2.6.31-18 in Kubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala doesn't support usbfs. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
