I was trying to install an older kernel to a system and ran

sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.38-02063808-generic_2.6.38-02063808.201106040910_i386.deb

on a 64-bit system. Can someone please tell me how to undo it?

sudo apt-get remove --purge linux-image-2.6.38-02063808-generic_2.6.38-02063808.201106040910_i386

You can use Synaptic also. Look for the version under linux. There will be 3 entries designating that. Actually fairly easy if they show up there. I have never installed a kernel using a deb pkg.

FYI- Looks like he did "mainline PPA"... and those are the install instructions they have posted there...
