hi,
I upgraded from Lucid to 10.10 today,
I had installed Kubuntu desktop from the synaptic in Lucid (earlier) and then upgraded from within KUBUNTU,
after the upgrade my grub menu (I use a dual boot with Vista) shows that I am using
kernel 2.6.32-24
but actually all the headers were removed during the upgrade
when I tried to "dpkg --configure -a" after the upgrade it shows:
warning, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 52092 package 'virtualbox-3.1':
error in Version string '3.1.6-59338_Ubuntu_karmic': invalid character in revision number
warning, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 52093 package 'virtualbox-3.1':
error in Config-Version string '3.1.6-59338_Ubuntu_karmic': invalid character in revision number
warning, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 66890 package 'virtualbox-3.1':
error in Version string '3.1.6-59338_Ubuntu_karmic': invalid character in revision number
and when I try this...(since my graphics was broken)sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) I get this following error..
Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 2.6.32-24-generic cannot be found at
/lib/modules/2.6.32-24-generic/build or /lib/modules/2.6.32-24-generic/source.
also I cannot open any folders because once I click them it directs me to the archive manager and says that this type of archive is not supported
can anyone help....
I am not sure if I am posting in the correct place, and without help I think I will be lost...
thanks,
siby.
Hi
sorry for being impatient and posting in a rush,
I later found out the problem, my Grub "menu.lst" was not showing the new kernel 2.6.35- so I did a "update-grub" following this thread
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1527492
and later edited the updated grub menu.lst to automatically show up at the begining following
http://www.easy-ubuntu-linux.com/grub-menu-visible.html
now the system is working fine, although the KDE graphics are broken, hope to solve it by an update.
thanks,
siby.
