Howto: Simple kernel upgrade (Feisty or Edgy) to Gutsy's developing kernel.

[walkerk]

Seems that Nautilus doesn´t like me anymore. Updated to 2.6.22-10 from 2.6.22-9 on one computer and from 2.6.20-16 another. It seems that when I updated the the Nvidia driver so it matches the one with the new kernel it updated a bunch of other dependences which causes Nautilus to crash when opening a new folder in the same window. -f and autoremove return nothing. Removing Nautilus doesn´t help either. I´m going to try installing Nautilus from the Gusty repository.

EDIT: Installing Nautilus from the Gusty repositories fixed the problem.

Very good I'm going to type out this process step by step for other users..

Upgrade Nautilus

Add the Gutsy repository

echo 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

Update

sudo apt-get update

Upgrade Nautilus

sudo apt-get install nautilus

Remove the Gutsy repo from sources.list (The last line of the file)

gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Now update again

sudo apt-get update

That should do the trick.. I don't use Nautilus so I didn't do this myself but it worked for Kyran.

hey i just went to the gutsy repos and download the nautilus package - double clicked it - hit install - and it downloaded all it needed..awesome last time it never did go out and so I had to try with the libs all by myself - overall FASTER FASTER AND FASTER....now for gnome..heheheh






edit: somethings changed in nautilus or a lib now I can hear my harddrive crunching away after the GRUB menu automatically goes it away...used to it was REAL QUIET...






edit2: n/m on the gnome environment lolz it depends on a boat load of things..so i'll just stay away.. (and I have dialup)
