[DONE] Upgrading to the latest kernel....

[cyberoptiq]

forgive my newbie question: I recently installed Mageia5 for the first time converting from Linux Mint 17.* and wanted to upgrade the kernel to the latest version. Couldn't find any info via Google on the commands used in Mageia5 to perform this. Would appreciate any assistance. Thanks in advance.

[doktor5000]

Which latest version do you refer to in particular? Simply install your usual updates and you will also receive kernel updates.
See http://doc.mageia.org/mcc/5/en/content/ ... pdate.html

Kernel 4.2.2 is the latest according to kernel.org. I've done the updates and it still reports the following:

Linux version 3.19.8-desktop-3.mga5

Thanks for your kind assistance!!

3.19.8 is the most recent kernel available in the mageia repositories. There is always going to be a gap between what kernel.org has and what is in the repositories.

Hi cyberoptiq and welcome to Mageia.

I am unfamiliar with any kernel modifications as used by Mint, as Mint may use the "vanilla" kernel.

In Mageia there are some changes made to the kernel that are specific to Mageia.
As a result, the kernel is then tested by the Q&A team to check for any issues that may have been introduced.
Once tested ok by Q&A the new kernels are released via the automatic update mechanism.
You will receive a notification that an update is available.

Currently kernel 4.1.8 is in testing.
Be aware that some kernels in the past have not been passed by Q&A and were not released.
On this machine current available kernels are 3.12., 3.14., 3.19. and it has received all available updates.

I understand that Cauldron may be running kernel 4.2. but it hasn't been though the Q&A procedure, so use at own risk if you wish.

But that doesn't mean we can't upgrade the kernel if we want to....correct?? Thanks for your reply!!

[cyberoptiq]

Thanks for the tutorial on how things work in Mangeia5, benmc. Greatly appreciated!!

4.1.8 is now available in the repositories.

I know that there is solution to change in /etc/x11/xorg.conf sna to uxa. Will there be fix for this?

There probably will be an update for the X driver soon, see the relevant comment: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16655#c94

[Ats]

Thanks, doctor 5000! I switched to uxa now, an no problems. And I will wait an update.

[doktor5000]

Can someone please have a look at the commands listed below and maybe know/explain why I'm getting the errors shown within?? This is a fresh Mageia5 install on an HP 15.6" laptop that has a Intel Pentium(R) M 1.73Mhz processor, 1GB RAM, Intel 915GM x-86/MMX/SSE2 graphics, and 100GB hard drive. Appreciate the assistance and thanks in advance.

The repository you are seeking to update may be down. Do you know how to select a different one using the Mageia Control Center?

I get these messages no matter what I try to install....I know how to select different repositories in MCC but being new to this OS I'm not sure which ones to pick....I just tried installing Google Chrome and that also gave me a bunch of errors...thanks for the quick reply, daniewicz!!

mirror.nexcess.net is lagging a bit. You can check at

http://mirrors.mageia.org/status

Although most mirrors are lagging at the moment: If you need to update, choose one of the up to date mirrors, otherwise try again tomorrow.

[doktor5000]

@daniewicz and @cyberoptiq:
Guys, it would be greatly appreciated if you use code tags when posting any command output or log excerpts.
If you don't know how to do that, it's explained in this short video: ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/mandriva/m ... e_tags.ogv
Thanks in advance.

[daniewicz]

[cyberoptiq]

So other than the repositories that deniewicz provided above is there any other items that I should be aware of?? Are those repositories part of Mageia5 and I just need to select them or do I need to add them?? I've never used Mageia5 before and with other distros I never had any issues as far as the repositories are concerned. Appreciate your assistance!!

[benmc]

Hi

Usually when you first set up the repo's, the mirrorlist will pick the nearest mirror to you based on your IP address.
If that mirror is slow to update for whatever reason, your own system will only update once the update applet queries that mirror and a "update available" reply is given.

If you want to connect to a different mirror for your repo source, go to Mageia Control Centre, under the first tab. configure media sources for install and update
clicking on this will bring up your current list of available install / update media.
Mostly you will have, for i586 setup with, a tick beside each of:

Code: Select all

core release
core updates
non-free release
non-free updates and

maybe tainted release
maybe tainted updates

and some others if in an x86 set up.
to add a specific media mirror, click on " file " -top left of window, then " add a specific mirror " and a list of available mirrors will be presented in country order.

once you have made a choice and clicked " ok "- bottom right of window, the new mirror and repo's will be added.
be sure to have only 1 set of the above media enabled [ticked], otherwise there may be conflicts during updates as different mirrors may have different versions of packages, depending of the mirrors own update cycle.

I hope this helps / explains repo use

[doktor5000]

Please first read https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Installing_a ... rrectly.3F
and maybe https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Install_medi ... _beginners to get started with software management in Mageia.

[cyberoptiq]

Followed your instructions and I get the following error message:

Unable to add medium, errors reported:

I get the above error message no matter which repository I try to enable.

Hi

looks like you have are having a problem with your "rsync://mageia.jameswhitby.net/mageia/distrib/5/i586/media/...." media.
Did you add these media specifically?
Can you disable all your repo media and then add new repo media. [ just untick them ]

have a look here=> viewtopic.php?f=36&t=4231

[doktor5000]

Those repos were setup during the initial installation....I'll try disabling them and see what happens....but, also, during my fiddling around last night with your suggestions the system did actually decide to do an update to the kernel which is now:

Linux version 4.1.8-desktop-1.mga5 (iurt@sucuk.mageia.org) (gcc version 4.9.2 (GCC) ) #1 SMP Sun Sep 20 12:33:42 UTC 2015

along with some other software....problem I'm having now is I can't get the audio to work no matter what I try....I've installed PCM and Alsa controls but nothing....when I do the speaker sound test through my headphones they work but once I disconnect them nothing....this is what I get from these commands:

Code: Select all

lspcidrake -v | grep -i audio
snd_intel8x0    : Intel Corporation|82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller [MULTIMEDIA_AUDIO] (vendor:8086 device:266e subv:103c subd:3081) (rev: 04)

Code: Select all

ps -aux | grep pulseaudio
 2609  0.0  0.8  89892  8448 ?        S<sl 08:09   0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio
 3536  0.0  0.2   6540  2072 pts/0    S+   08:19   0:00 grep --color pulseaudio

Alsamixer works via the command line GUI but it doesn't help me any either....I've tried changing it via PCM to different outputs but nothing....I tried adding the tainted releases and tainted updates but got the same error message again:

Code: Select all

Unable to add medium, errors reported:

...retrieving failed: rsync failed: exited with 10
unable to access the distribution medium (no media.cfg file found)

Medium: distrib ()

thanks for your patience and assistance....

[doktor5000]

First, please next time do not use fullquotes, but only use the Reply function. And second, please use code tags as explained in ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/mandriva/m ... e_tags.ogv

And third, please stick to one topic. You should get your repos fixed. No matter if they have been setup during initial installation or not, if they are not working currently they need to be fixed.

Best do the following: Remove all your repositories, and add a complete set of new ones, but don't use mirrorlist automatism. Check https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Software_man ... dia_source

You can also do it using commandline, as an example I'm using ftp.snt.utwente.nl as mirror. Feel free to use another one that's near you and up-to-date according to http://mirrors.mageia.org/status

Code: Select all

urpmi.removemedia -a
urpmi.addmedia --distrib --wget 'ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/mageia/distrib/$RELEASE/$ARCH'

to also enable nonfree and tainted repositories, do afterwards

Code: Select all

urpmi.update --no-ignore "Tainted Release" && urpmi.update --no-ignore "Tainted Updates" && urpmi.update --no-ignore "Nonfree Release" && urpmi.update --no-ignore "Nonfree Updates" && urpmi.update -av

If you got that sorted out, we can continue in a separate thread for your audio issues, as you already updated to current kernel.
