Disclaimer:
Now the work around... This is not to be taken lightly and could bork your system, this is not for a production system by any means, you accept all responsibility if you torch your system & have to re-install.
Due to the "bug" in the new kernel defaulting to use lzma compression, gutsy and below are unable to recognize this format, it is an awesome improvement in memory management and compression. I, as a work around modified my sources list to reflect hardy source lists...
- Code: Select all
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Search and replace gutsy with hardy save and exit.
- Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update
Open synaptic System >> Administration >> Synaptic
click search and type kernel go way down the list and select linux-generic at time of posting 2.6.22.14.21 mark it for upgrade same with linux-headers of the same version follow through with linux-source & most likely restricted. If you dont understand what you are looking at it is best to quit now & revert your list, you have been warned.
Search for lzma and install lzma lzma-source and lzma-dev
click apply and let it upgrade.
Forewarning this will stick it in and break it off on reboot your video card drivers will no longer work for example envy took care of this for me as soon as your video drivers or other restricted drivers wireless for example will have to be installed before reboot once all is good re-edit you sources list replacing hardy with gutsy... do not upgrade to hardy. When you reboot you will have the new kernel listed. You can always revert back to your original kernel.
