So this is my first post and I am pretty new to Linux and ubuntu...here it goes!
I just installed ubuntu server 10.04 (the 64 bit version).
I would like to install the 64 bit desktop kernel and ideally be able to use either Kernel at will, and if not I would prefer the desktop Kernel for now.
Googling around a bit I found some instructions which said to:
sudo apt-get install linux-generic linux-restricted-modules
When I do this it says:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package linux-generic
looking at /etc/apt/sources.list I have:
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted
which I think should cover linux-generic
Anyways, does anyone have any idea of what is going on and if I am even approaching this the right way to be able to use either kernel? Thanks!
edit: sudo apt-get update fixed some of it but now it can't find linux-restricted-modules
