Update the kernel of Porteus v3.1

Here is a place for your projects which are not officially supported by the Porteus Team. For example: your own kernel patched with extra features; desktops not included in the standard ISO like Gnome; base modules that are different than the standard ISO, etc...

@Bogomips
Excuse me for my poor English.

I wanted to express that I was researching a better "kernel configuration" than my offered one.

If you use another one, I am interested it.
But if your own tuning is about NVIDIA, I can't evaluate it.
I don't have a NVIDIA.

Thanks.

Hi.

I tried the upgrade and got this:

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ su
Password: 
root@porteus:/home/guest# activate /home/guest/Downloads/upkernel-*.xzm
Updating shared library links:  /sbin/ldconfig
/sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/libv4lconvert.so.0 is not a symbolic link

/sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/libv4l2.so.0 is not a symbolic link

/sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/libv4l1.so.0 is not a symbolic link

root@porteus:/home/guest# upkernel /mnt/sda5/ISOs/Porteus-LXQT-v3.1-x86_64-nu.iso
bash: upkernel: command not found
What am I doing wrong??

^ Careful reading of the instructions will reveal that
  • the iso to be updated be in a directory which has free space twice the size of the iso
  • Change directory to directory containing iso
  • Upkernel and new iso will be found in said directory

@Ed_P btw might be an idea to use tab completion. It's a mite faster and more compleat (sez i to a windoze man) :wink:

Re: Update the kernel of Porteus v3.1

Post#103 by neko » 28 Dec 2015, 03:09

@Ed_P
There are 6 commands in "Update the kernel of Porteus V3.1"

'upkernel' and 'upakernel' commands are offered by the 'upkernel-3.18.NN-noarch-N.xzm' module.
'upkernel4' and 'upakernel4' commands are offered by the 'upkernel-4.2.N-noarch-N.xzm' module.
'upkernel4.3' and 'upakernel4.3' commands are offered by the 'upkernel-4.3.N-noarch-N.xzm' module.

Therefore 'upkernel-4.2.8-noarch-1.xzm' does not include an 'upkernel' command.
It includes an 'upkernel4' commnad.

If you will update the kernel of Porteus V3.1 to version 4.2.N by the command that is included in 'upkernel-4.2.N-noarch-N.xzm' module,
you should execute the 'upkernel4' command.

Thanks.

:shock: Where did the upkernel command come from?? What is it updating??? It is creating an UP. .iso file.

I am using the 4.3 version so let me rerun the update upkernel4.3 and see what I get this time.

Thanks neko

upkernel4.3 did work and updated the kernel to 4.3. But booting the UP LXQT system on my netbook I lost all network connections. And on the new laptop I didn't get that far. :(

Thanks for your help neko.
