Loose manual for Kernel upgrade

Lazy upgrade kernel notes-general Linux technology-Linux programming and kernel information. The following is a detailed description. I use ubuntu8.04, the kernel is 2.6.24-21, and 8.10 uses the kernel 2.6.26-5. it is said that this kernel will be supported by default even if the cpu does not support kvm. heartbeat.

First modify the source

Then the new kernel is installed.

Sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install linux-generic linux-headers-2.6.26-5-generic linux-headers-2.6.26-5 linux-image-2.6.26-5-generic linux-sound-base linux-image-generic linux-restricted-modules-2.6.26-5-generic linux-restricted-modules-generic util-linux-locales util-linux -locales libselinux1 libselinux1-dev

By the way, the latest pulseaudio is installed.

Sudo apt-get install libasound2-plugins "pulseaudio-*" paman padevchooser paprefs pavucontrol

There is also the latest font engine.

Sudo apt-get install libxft2 libxft-dev libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev libcairo2-dev

And the graphics card driver.
