Ultimate Edition Forum

Hello Team & users on the Forum.

OK here is my test that past very well with no issues at all !!!
Let me give you all the process to get the 2.6 to work better and faster (and solve some issues with wireless )
So the problems on the U.E start as I have said in the beginning with the low Kernel that we have on 2.6!!!
Here is the Guide for you hope you will see the Difference with how your system work After the upgrade.



How To: Upgrade your kernel, painlessly.


If in the outside chance you feel you need to upgrade your kernel for any particular reason, this is how you do it THE EASY WAY.
Note that this guide requires no compiling and works for U.E and Ubuntu only (it's probable that this works for other Ubuntu derivatives, but I haven't tested it and can therefore offer no opinion).

- 1 - Go to this website http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ and you'll see a huge directory tree of kernels. Find the directory for the kernel you want/need and click on it.

- 2 - In each of these directories you're going to see "BUILD.LOG", "CHANGES", three items that begin with "linux-headers", two that begin with "linux-image" and one that begins with "linux-source". The "BUILD.LOG", "CHANGES", and "linux-source" are completely unimportant right now. We're only worried about "linux-headers" and "linux-image".

- 3 - Download and then install the following IN THIS ORDER: first get the linux-headers file that ends with "all.deb". Second get the linux-headers file that ends with "i386.deb" or "amd64.deb" depending upon what architecture you need. Finally get the linux-image file that ends with "i386.deb" or "amd64.deb" again depending upon what architecture you need. Honestly it doesn't really matter what order you download them in, but you need to make absolutely sure that you install them in this order.

- 4 - Reboot your computer and you're done.



The files can be download from here:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/ma ... .34-lucid/

Now I use the 2.6.34-lucid !!!
Those are the files that I use for the 32 bit on my machine:

linux-headers-2.6.34-020634-generic_2.6.34-020634_i386.deb
linux-headers-2.6.34-020634_2.6.34-020634_all.deb
linux-image-2.6.34-020634-generic_2.6.34-020634_i386.deb

This is safe to do so do not be afraid to make the upgrade for your system.

For all of you the use the 64 - please download the files of the 64 bit and install them.





GOOD LUCK FROM THE U.E Team.

As usual Admin-Amir ! your on the case !!!

Thank you bro

thanks! I will hit this tonight!

AS a WARNING ! This is still experimental !! And the end results might not have the desired results ! As always back up your data ! and be prepared to reinstall ! This has worked for the most part at this point ! but as Lucid changes and so do other things in upgrades, just let it be known you due this as with any upgrade or update at your own risk ! This is not meant to Alarm, just notify ! Thank you Admin-Amir For your diligent work ! You are always cutting edge !! Just best to be cautious at this point !

Thanks for posting this - 2.6.34 was a bust on my laptop, but 2.6.33.4 is a go thus far. I'd seen this info before, but it's good to have it in one easily accessible place.

Another thing....


If it goofs up just boot into the lower kernel in grub.Then you can remove the problem kernel.Al tho might not be necessary when using proprietary drivers I always uninstall em before updating a kernel....just an old habit.If you find your self asking "why do I need to update a kernel"....then you probably don't.Tho I can't verify if this works (I'm sure it does) I don't use 2.6 yet,but this is the way I've been updating kernel for a few years now,and it always worked peachy.

Hello PPL.

As far that I can say the Kernel 2.6.34 work fine It is Final Kernel that has Released not RC !
it is safe to make the process the I have post here.
And you can Uninstall it if Things go wrong from synaptic - (the safe way at this point of time!)
Just to Update you all.
the Maverick Meerkat (10.10) will work with the 2.6.35 Kernel.
At this pint of time I have made some tests to the new 2.6.35 RC1 Kernel on my machine,
And I'm running some test here to look for bugs and issues.
Yes it is Just RC1 for the 2.6.35 but,
this is Homework for me on the new Dev of the Maverick Meerkat Kernel.



Thank you.

Thank you.

Hello Admin-Amir, I followed your steps and it worked just fine. The system is stable and runs well, the only issue is that the computer starts up with the white Text of UBUNTU 10.04 and some red/purple dots and shuts down with out any fancy graphics, just text.

Hello dathem.

I have just post Answer and the same issue on the 2.7 Forum:
viewtopic.php?f=69&t=4763

I hope my solution will work for you , and will solve the issue.
Please Update me/Team on the Results that you have After you made the process please.
It looks like the Ubuntu Team is not just After TheeMahn in this days,
It looks like they are On my tail, too!!!
