hmmm as soon as it hits rc3 I'm going to do a clean beta 13.04 install and then upgrade...


anyone can point me to a novice friendly guide on upgrading ubuntu kernels?

Do you mean Ubuntu-„official“ kernel(s) or kernel(s) from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ ...?

[nomenkultur]

? no idea.

I never did a kernel update on ubuntu before (actually I lie since 13.04 does update kernels but it does so automatically without my input)


is there a guide where you can follow step by step guides on updating to 3.9 ?

OK, so You want to use mainline kernel...
1. find kernel You want to use (go to http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ and pick one, like with file on PC)
2. find 4 that are OK with Your architecture (3 for Your architecture and one with „all“ in its name)
3. DL them to Your machine
4.

sudo dpkg -i names_of_files.deb

Next time You reboot pick one that You've installed...

@nomenkultur and also youtube is your friend. I hope this tutorial will help you

[nomenkultur]

thanks no idea it was that easy


that pretty much kills the only advantage the other distro had over ubuntu, you always had newer kernels but this method should be good enough
