If you use 9.04 please post your kernel number

enter as one long code in terminal, it will update all programs on the the system including the kernel

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Have a look in /boot and see what kernels are there. Then have a look in the file /boot/grub/menu.lst and see which kernel grub is configured to load. You can edit menu.lst to change which kernel to boot but you must be careful not to get it wrong and leave the PC un-bootable. Come back here for help if you think menul.st needs editing, and someone can give more detailed advice on doing that.

The first code reports 2.6.27-11-generic

The second (pasted or typed) reports E: Invalid operation dist-update

Thanks for your help.

My regards

Woops, sorry .. it should be dist-upgrade ( instead of update )

Hi guys and gals,

Getting closish but Iḿ not quite there.

I have triple boot 8.10, 9.04 (and windows) and both 8.10 and 9.04 have the Xubuntu desktop installed.

9.04 is the default load but Iḿ almost sure it boots from menu.ĺst in 8.10 (though 9.04 also has its own menu.lst).

Thanks to everybody for their help thus far.

My regards

PS I added the second Ubuntu system so I could do a few tests and also try out 9.04 upgrade.

Hi all,

What seemed promising had led nowhere - more help would be appreciated.

If anyone has any questions I will try to answer them in the next hour or so, otherwise tomorrow.

My regards

If everything works fine why upgrade the kernel? You could potentially break something for no gain.
