Install liquorix kernel in ubuntu lucid

[ironic.demise]

Ok. Lets see.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleeding_edge_technology

Now, every Ubuntu release is based on a specific, freezed kernel, i.e. Jaunty shipped with 2.6.32, Maverick ships with 2.6.35.
So, for those who feel brave to try the newest kernels released by linux.org/, you'll have to look for alternatives like liquorix. But, as wikipedia told, there are risks!


hope this (and my English) makes sense!

Perfect sense, and your English is fine. Honestly, so many people here speak perfect english but are under some illusion that they struggle to speak the language. Anyway thank you for the response it has helped.

Why would it work? Ubuntu is not Debian.

Of course it works, unless im dreaming here. Works perfectly okay.. Straight forward install from the directions given before me.

So far, so good.

Looking forward to that ~200 line patch I just heard about!

Not sure what is happening.

Libncurses5 should be in ubuntu repos. Try install it, i.e.

sudo apt-get install libncurses5

or, if it is already installed, try to reinstall through synaptic package manager (mine says it is in version 5.7+20100626-0ubuntu1);

or check if your repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list...

You need to install a more recent (date 20100313) version of the libncurses5 package. Search Maverick's (Ubuntu 10.10) repositories, get the corresponding .deb file and manually install.

I found a differend way to use cgroups without using a patched kernel:

Really boost!

I'm running the liquorix kernel on Ubuntu Studio 10.10 64 bit. No problems so far, and notice positive improvement in realtime performance and system responsiveness over generic kernel.
