Posted on by

This short walkthrough describes how to install the linux kernel version 3.12  on Ubuntu Linux without having to compile it yourself.

This guide should work with the latest version of Ubuntu Linux and most Ubuntu-based distributions including Mint. The included kernel files have been compiled using the generic Ubuntu configuration.

The source can be found on kernel.org

Installation Guide (GUI)

  1. Download the kernel headers package:

    linux-headers-3.12.0-031200_3.12.0-031200.201311031935_all.deb
  2. And the appropriate package for your system
  3. And the accompanying compiled kernel image
  4. Install the files in the same order as downloaded above. (Linux-headers-*all.deb, Linux-headers-*platform*.deb, Linux-image-*platform*.deb)
  5. In the terminal run:

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

I will post the latest version of the 3.12 branch in comments below.

This short guide demonstrates how to setup Fedora 18 as a LAMP server containing Apache, PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby and MySQL.

You have to use the shell and be able to use the machine as  root.

Start the terminal and run:

sudo yum install -y httpd php php-mysql php-gd php-imap php-ldap php-odbc php-pear php-xml php-xmlrpc php-magickwand php-mbstring php-mcrypt php-mssql php-shout php-snmp php-soap php-tidy php-mysql php-odbc php-pear php-mhash curl perl-libwww-perl ImageMagick libxml2 php-pecl-apc mysql mysql-server phpmyadmin ruby mod_python perl mod_perl perl-HTML-Parser perl-DBI perl-Net-DNS perl-Digest-SHA1 perl-ExtUtils-AutoInstall perl-NetAddr-IP perl-Archive-Tar

Second step is to enable the Apache Webserver and MySQL Database server;

sudo systemctl enable httpd.service
sudo systemctl start httpd.service
sudo systemctl enable mysqld.service
sudo systemctl start mysqld.service
sudo mysql_secure_installation
