Linux Kernel 3.1 installation guide for Ubuntu Linux

Aside

17

This short walkthrough describes how to get the latest linux kernel version 3.1.0 working under Ubuntu Linux without having to compile it yourself.

This tutorial should work with the latest version of Ubuntu Linux (10.04 LTS, 11.04 and 11.10) and most distributions based on these versions of Ubuntu Linux including Mint.

The included kernel files have been compiled using the generic ubuntu configuration.
Note: ATI, Intel and NVIDIA drivers are automatically installed using DKMS, if you have these installed and up-to-date. Else … don`t blaim me.

Installation Guide

  1. Download the kernel headers package;

    linux-headers-3.1.0-030100_3.1.0-030100.201110241006_all.deb
  2. And the appropriate package for your system

    AMD64: linux-headers-3.1.0-030100-generic_3.1.0-030100.201110241006_amd64.deb

    I386: linux-headers-3.1.0-030100-generic_3.1.0-030100.201110241006_i386.deb
  3. And the accompanying compiled kernel;

    AMD64: linux-image-3.1.0-030100-generic_3.1.0-030100.201110241006_amd64.deb

    I386: linux-image-3.1.0-030100-generic_3.1.0-030100.201110241006_i386.deb
  4. Install the files in the same order (else it won`t work!)
  5. In the terminal run:

    sudo update-grub
  6. Reboot and select the kernel from the bootloader menu

    If it`s not there check all steps (and of course for errors)

Reply

Next week (8 august 2011) Apress will publish the book The Definitive Guide to Drupal 7 (ISBN13: 978-1-4302-3135-6 ). The book will be 1112 pages phat and will be available as printed and e-book (in  the following formats: EPUB, MOBI, PDF).

Apress has given me the opportunity to review this Drupal 7 book. I expect the review to appear later this month on my blog.

The Definitive Guide to Drupal 7 is the most comprehensive book for getting sites done using the powerful and extensible Drupal content management system. Written by a panel of expert authors, the book covers every aspect of Drupal, from planning a successful project all the way up to making a living from designing Drupal sites and to contributing to the Drupal community yourself. With this book you will:

  • Follow practical approaches to solving many online communication needs with Drupal with real examples.
  • Learn how to keep learning about Drupal: administration, development, theming, design, and architecture.
  • Go beyond the code to engage with the Drupal community as a contributing member and to do Drupal sustainably as a business.

What you’ll learn

  • Launch a community-ready site in fifteen minutes.
  • Talk to stakeholders and architect a site’s structure and functionality around the goals it must achieve to successfully launch major enterprise sites.
  • Find, evaluate, and configure modules to extend Drupal’s functionality.
  • Theme inspired designs into functional, future-proof templates.
  • Build modules when you need to extend what Drupal can do beyond the thousands of solutions already coded by others.
  • Work with Drupal sustainably as a professional and as a participant in the Drupal community.

Who this book is for

Anyone who has heard of Drupal and has a personal or professional reason to learn more: from Drupal administrators, themers, and developers to moonlighters and intense hobbyists. People considering a solo or collaborative career making websites will find this book their complete stop for Drupal.

SEERS – Standardised Bug Reporting

Posted on by

Two days ago I recieved a bugreport on one of the WordPress plugins I`ve made lately.
This bugreport only said things weren`t working in a certain environment. which environment was for me to guess.

That reminded me of SEERS which I read about.

SEERS stands for:

  • Screenshot
  • Environment
  • Expected behavior and actual behavior
  • Reproduction
  • Severity

I will be constructing a simple bugreporting form on my site shortly.
