Linux Lite Kernel

[valtam]

Cheers Dave. The first post in the thread does state 'Ignore any errors in the terminal.' The first 3 errors you have posted, happen on every Lite Kernel install and are innocuous.

One question after installing the new Kernel do we have to un-install the old one? if so how do you do it?

Thank you!

Hi,

Once you have installed the kernel, it is recommended to keep the old one until you are sure everything works correctly.
I installed the latest 4.2.0, but I had an error in the dmesg log file indicating a kernel taint,
I could not find any reasons why, or any fixes, I did not want to take a chance so I removed it.

So I re-booted and on the start-up grub screen I selected the original 3.13.kernel
Then once re-booted I went into Menu > System > Lite Tweaks and used the "Kernel Removal" option, shown below.
When you are on the kernel removal selection screen, you need to select "2" items, it gives you instructions.

No problems...it's all part of being in the LL community

4.3 Linux Lite Kernel is now available for 32 & 64bit machines.

Open a terminal and do:

Code:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-headers-linuxlite-4.3.0 linux-image-linuxlite-4.3.0 -y

Ignore any errors in the terminal.
IMPORTANT: Only install this kernel if you need it or if you are adept at getting out of trouble from a TTY.

Look forward to your feedback. Thank you.

I noticed when upgrading to 4.2 that Virtualbox doesn't work due to "No suitable module for running kernel found". Would this problem exist with all the non-standard LL kernels? Or just the very new ones?
