This short walkthrough describes how to get the latest linux kernel working under Ubuntu Linux without having to compile it yourself.
This tutorial should work with the latest version of Ubuntu Linux (10.04 and 10.10 ) and most distributions based on these versions of Ubuntu Linux like Mint.
The included kernel files have been compiled using the generic ubuntu configuration.
Note: nVIDIA ForceWare drivers are automatically installed using DKMS, if you have these installed and up-to-date.
Installation Guide
- Download linux-headers-2.6.35-020635_2.6.35-020635_all.deb
- Download your kernel headers package;
I386: linux-headers-2.6.35-020635-generic_2.6.35-020635_i386.deb
AMD64: linux-headers-2.6.35-020635-generic_2.6.35-020635_amd64.deb - Download your kernel compile;
I386: linux-image-2.6.35-020635-generic_2.6.35-020635_i386.deb
AMD64: linux-image-2.6.35-020635-generic_2.6.35-020635_amd64.deb - Install the files in the same order (else it won`t work!)
- In the terminal run:
sudo update-grub
- Reboot and select the kernel from the bootloader menu
If it`s not there check all steps (and ofcourse errors)
For those who want to do their “own” compiles, the source is also available; linux-source-2.6.35_2.6.35-020635_all.deb
you first have to install kernel package …
If you use a different order than I recommended you`ll surely get some errors. I don`t say it won`t work but I can`t guarantee it.
Hi,
Thanks for your kernel build.
Do you know how this kernel is different from 2.6.35-14 is this ppa ?
https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive/ppa
Because your build does fix a bug that the ppa on doesn’t:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23858
Thanks in advance.
Correction: I didn`t build it
Sorry for the confusion, I didn’t see they were coming from kernel.ubuntu.com.
no problem!
As far as I know this is the latest official kernel but for Ubuntu
without the patches that are present in the kernel ppa
Hi,
Your source package:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.35-maverick/linux-source-2.6.35_2.6.35-020635_all.deb
Seems to be empty:
proppy@unubore:~/Desktop/sc2$ dpkg -c linux-source-2.6.35_2.6.35-020635_all.deb

Correct
if you check the source you`ll see its 2.2kb
I didn`t saw it untill you told me
Thank you
How about your kernel and ATI graphics?
I get an error (fglrx), tried to reinstall but no luck.
Thats always an issue when using the latest kernel version
This is the kernel that worked for me (kudos). 2.6.35-14 did not work –
nvidia driver problem}
Now to the VMware compile patch!

Where can I get Linux kernel source for version 2.6.36 with Ubuntu patches? I have been only able to find vanill source and maverick debs.
I couldn`t find it either else I would have mentioned it
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.35.9-maverick/
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.35.10-maverick/
thanks, keep it up!
