Is it safe to remove default kernel?

I've installed linux-ck kernel from repo-ck with nvidia GPU support. Why don't linux-ck and nvidia-ck replace the respective default kernel packages? Is it safe to remove the default kernel like this "# pacman -R linux nvidia" (I boot with linux-ck)? I'm asking because there are often updates to linux package and I don't use it.

The -ck kernels don't overwrite the kernel, and IDK about the AUR custom kernels, but it's possible to overwrite the stock kernel, especially if you're lazy about looking at the pkgbuild or your own script. I have before. It's not a big deal unless you're missing, you know, like, your disk and keyboard modules.
If you are worried create backup copies of initramfs-linux.img, vmlinuz-linux, initramfs-linux-fallback.img in /boot, and a grub entry for them... it'll be like nothing changed!

  • Safe to remove linux kernel when using linux-lts kernel?

    I'm using the `linux-lts` kernel on my work machine (less reboots after updates); I know in theory it should be safe to remove the normal `linux` kernel (and it's dependencies) but does anyone know if it is safe in practice? Nothing that assumes there will always be a `linux` package because without it there couldn't be a running system?

    This should be as easy to figure out, as comparing dependencies can be:
    linux-lts:
    Required By (5)
    archboot
    nvidia-lts
    r8168-lts
    virtualbox-archlinux-modules-lts

    linux:

    That might mean, most notably, that infrared ports and cdemu-driven image mounts won't work with the lts kernel (or at least should not without pulling in the normal kernel).

  • Remove default mail database

    Dues to the size of my default mailbox database I created two new mail box databases and moved (using EMC) the existing user mailboxes from the default mailbox into the two new ones (half in each new database). That left me with the Discovery Search
    Mailbox which I loved (using EMC) to one of the new databases. Am I now safe to remove the default database or is there something further that I need to do first? I read something about arbitration mailboxes but don't know what those are or if they are
    already handled by moving my user mailboxes and the Discovery Search mailbox. When I run "Get-Mailbox -Database" against the default database it shows no objects. I think I'm ready to remove the default database but am nervous about doing that without
    checking first.

    Hi Don,
    Hope you are doing well.
    there is nothing wrong in removing your default database but there are few steps / precautionary measure that you need to take before you remove your default database and those are as follow.
    Move Arbitration Mailboxes
    Move Discovery Mailbox
    Move User Mailboxes
    Move Archive Mailboxes
    If you miss out anything and if you try to remove the Default Database you might face a popup with an Error.
    Microsoft Exchange Error
    The mailbox database ‘Mailbox Database 0089743213′ cannot be deleted.
    Mailbox Database 0089743213

    Get-Mailbox -Arbitration | NewMove-Request -TargetDatabase "xxxx" ==> This command will get all the arbitration mailboxes and move them to new database to which you want to move.
    Get-Mailbox -Filter { RecipientTypeDetails -eq "DiscoveryMailbox" } | new-moverequest -targetdatabase xxxxxx ==> This command will move the discovery mailbox to your new databse.
    You can move the user mailbox from Admin Center or EMS by using the following command.
    New-moverequest -identity abc@xyz -targetdatabase "xxxx"
    Once you are done with the move of all user, discovery and arbitration mailboxes, dismount the database for couple of days to see if there is still any impact on production (It will not have any impact but best practice is to dismount your database first
    and then remove it after couple of days). If you don't have any issues with your production after dismounting the default database, remove it after 2-3 days. Thanks.

  • Safe to remove battery and run on AC?

    Hi, I got my macbook for college. Since it's summer, I'm only using it at home but I don't want to waste my battery cycles. Is it safe to remove the battery from the computer and only use power from the MagSafe power adapter?

    By default if it senses no battery the CPU will be "throttled" - reduced to half speed. In addition should the MagSafe adapter be accidentally disconnected (it's pretty easy) you'll end up with an uncontrolled shutdown, which could be pretty bad depending on what you're doing. If there's a hard drive write occurring, that could be really bad. The battery is supposed to effectively serve as an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) as well as a supplemental power source when the adapter itself can't handle the load. I suspect the CPU is throttled to prevent it from maxing out the adapter power.

  • Oracle Linux Remove Old Kernels

    I was just wondering if Oracle Linux by default removes old outdated kernels when I run 'yum update' command? I see new kernels getting installed consistently however I never see any kernels being removed like I expect to see in RHEL as a new kernel is downloaded. Is there a way to see which kernels are installed on my Oracle Linux 6.3 server and how I can remove them so they don't clutter my Grub screen and system?

    You can check the grub boot menu, which normally has an entry for all installed kernels:
    <pre>
    # cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
    </pre>
    Or query the installed kernel packages:
    <pre>
    # rpm -qa | grep kernel
    </pre>
    To remove a kernel, use the YUM utility:
    <pre>
    # yum remove kernel-package
    </pre>
    For instance:
    <pre>
    # rpm -qa | grep kernel
    kernel-uek-2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek
    kernel-uek-2.6.32-300.10.1.el5uek
    kernel-2.6.18-274.el5
    kernel-uek-devel-2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek
    kernel-headers-2.6.18-308.el5
    kernel-2.6.18-308.el5
    kernel-uek-firmware-2.6.32-300.10.1.el5uek
    kernel-uek-devel-2.6.32-300.10.1.el5uek
    # uname -r
    2.6.32-300.10.1.el5uek
    # yum remove kernel-uek-2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek
    </pre>
    The example above is for OL 5, but works in OL 6 as well.

  • Protecting site and reducing default kernel queue length

    Hi!
    This could be more for BEA support, entering this for far too busy client delivery manager.
    In our setup we sometimes 'loose' PROD due to running out of (doubled) iPlanet service threads. After analysis it looked, that by reducing a problematic application (doubled) weblocig server(s) default kernel queue to lowest value of 256 the PROD could be 'protected'.
    The application is controlled by another service and their tech people are worried is it safe to reduce the kernel queue to lower value.
    According to initial testing on lower environments, this leads only that webserver thread is not reserved, due to bounced request. If the queue is full, this results error in logs and immediately returned (failed) request. After requests time out or if requests are served ok, the normal processing seems to take place.
    Is it ok to reduce the kernel queu e for badly behaving applications? Are there alternative solutions recommended?
    The downstream service is reluctant to make the change, because documentation recommends (weblogic 8.1.5) not to mess with the default settings.
    Alternative solution with own webserver(s) for this service has been studied and does not really seem as an option.
    Best regards,
    Pekka

  • Change default kernel config

    I'm unable to boot with the default kernel, since "BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive calls determine boot disk" is enabled.
    One may wonder why is it enabled in default distro kernel anyway. Here a note
    from kernel config:
    "This option is experimental and is known to fail to boot on some obscure configurations. Most disk controller BIOS vendors do not yet implement this feature."
    Maybe its just me, but I really dont consider my configuration as obscure :-)
    It would be great if this was removed from the default kernel unless there is a reason for it to be there?
    The problem occur when I have disks attached to the one of Promise controllers.

    what is the difference between cookies and cache , is it safe to remove cache ? . I had cleaned cookies many times but I have not removed cache , does it goes on increasing day by day ? please let me know

    Cookies are small files that contain information useful to a web site -- such as password, preferences, last date visited, etc. You may remove the cookies that you don't want adn since some of them are a privacy issue, many people remove them all.
    Cache is just a collection of data downloaded to help display a web page. After you leave a site, much of the cache is left on your computer and is no longer needed. You can always remove the cache because it will be replaced as needed.

  • Opening mozilla firefox I was asked to choose safe browser or default and I picked safe browser, but I need to return default because has all my bookmarks How?

    When I started up my computer and clicked Mozilla Firefox a box popped up asking me if I wanted to use Safe Browser or default browser d14 and some more letters and numbers. I have never been asked this and thought maybe there was a problem so I decided to do safe browser. It wasn't until clicking ok that I realized there was a check in a box that said don't ask again open start up. Now I have none of my bookmarks or history and I need those things to be able to pay my bills as well as other sites that I use often, but do not remember how to get to them. I tried shutting down my computer, but now It just takes me to a page and when I try and log in to places it doesn't recognize me. Is there any way to find my previous browser? Please help!
    Thanks you,
    Lindsey

    Do not use any option to rename or delete profiles.
    Do not this stage use any options to restore or import bookmarks.
    #With Firefox closed <br /> Use '''WindowsKey''' + '''R''' to get a run box
    #Key in ''firefox.exe -P''
    #That should offer you a choice of profiles to use. Select one, and look for your bookmarks. Make a note of the profile names, and which bookmarks set you have. (Probably one will have almost no boookmarks, and one will have all your bookmarks)
    #Try each profile in turn by repeating the steps.
    Post back to say if you found the lost bookmarks.

  • How can I remove default alarm for events in iCal on devices ios?

    Whenever I add an event to my iCal calendar in Mounain Lion it will automatically add one default alert only on my iphone and ipad. These default alarms are not displayed on my macbook or icloud.com
    Default alarms are disabled in macbook, icloud.com, and my ios devices.
    How can I remove default alarm for events in iCal on devices ios?
    Thanks and sorry for my english.
    MacBook Pro, Mac OS X 10.8

    OK, so I have had this issue for the past several months. I think it all started when I upgraded to ML from SL and migrated my calendars and contacts to iCloud. That was a couple months ago. But now I am running 10.8.2, and about two weeks ago I upgraded my iOS devices to 6.0.1.
    I don't seem to be having any issues with events that I create now, but all those old events that were migrated to iCloud a couple months ago, many of those sound alerts on the iOS devices even though there was no alert defined when the event was originally created. I have always had alerts off by default both in iCal and on the iOS devices.
    So here's the question: is there a way to go through and disable all these spurious event alerts? I've been disabling them as the event reminders come up, but it's irritating. It would be nice if there was a way to turn them off all in one shot somehow.

  • No longer safe to remove iPod after updating (synching)

    I'm using iTunes 7 on XP Pro. AMD Athlon 64. 4G 60-gig iPod (color).
    "Enable Disk Use" is NOT checked, but my iPod now shows up as a Removable Disk in XP. And after synching, iTunes says "iPod update is complete" but no longer tells me it's safe to remove my iPod.
    Yes, I can manually eject the iPod, but that's a bit of a pain. I'd rather just grab it and go. Any ideas?
    (Please don't tell me, here in the WINDOWS forum, that buying a Mac will solve all my problems. Another answer like that will send me into the nearest clock tower.)

    Well, I believe you should keep it because you may need it later.
    Try to delete other files on your computer, or backup some of the data to CD-R, DVDR or external hard drive and then remove them.

  • DVD drive is initiating "safe to remove hardware" by itself

    Hi. I am getting the following 2 error messages. I just did a clean re-install of Windows 7 and for the first 3 weeks I had no issues at all (could be unrelated). I am not initiating anything. My laptop is doing this by itself. It just randomly on its own
    tries to remove my DVD-ROM. Then it is unable to do it b/c the device is still in use. I have tried searching for this issue and cannot find any other threads. It clicks and beeps and does this all day long - it interrupts my work. The DVD player works just
    fine, and when I right-click Properties - it says driver is up to date and device is working. So there appears to be no issues with the device itself... rather that my computer is operating in phantom mode - trying to safely remove hardware on its own that
    I am not trying to remove. I have actually gone ahead and removed the DVD drive just to see if it would help, then put it back in, and the problem persists. I am running Window7 64-bit OS. Please help me stop this annoying problem! Thanks!
    error 1: "safe to remove hardware. The HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4247N ATA device can now be safely removed.
    error 2: "Problems ejecting HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4247N ATA device . Windows is unable to stop the device.... Close any programs using this device and then remove it.'

    Hi,
    The reson why I share KB555665 with you is that we can refer to the instruction to use Process Explorer to view what happened with the drive. We can view the detailed process of the drive and find out what is handling\controlling it.
    Or there may be some hardware or software that is interfering with the CD or DVD drive. You can test this after restarting your computer in a clean boot state
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
    If this issue disappears in this mode, then we can go on to find out the cause. Detailed instructions about How-To are included in KB 929135

  • Eliminating excessive dhcpcd add/remove default route messages

    I've been on an IPv6 network for the past several months. I use no network manager (aside from netctl and wifi-menu) and I'm generally wired in. I manually start dhcpcd on my eth0 when I start my computer.
    The issue I've been having and have been unable to resolve is the fact that the following two messages have been repeating in my log every 2-10 seconds for the past several months and I now have several thousand of them. It's just getting annoying at this point because it interferes with actually reading relevant log messages via journalctl:
    Mar 22 10:45:56 kcuzner-desktop dhcpcd[1109]: eth0: adding default route via fe80::fa8f:caff:fe2d:b464
    Mar 22 10:45:56 kcuzner-desktop dhcpcd[1109]: eth0: removing default route via fe80::fa8f:caff:fe2d:b464
    No matter what I search, I can't seem to find a way to get rid of these. I keep a terminal open with journalctl -f running almost always and it's just filled with these, quickly pushing away relevant messages such as "codeblocks dumped core". Does anyone have any tips for preventing these sorts of log entries?

    I don't think there is a way for journalctl to exclude logging from only dhcpcd. Of course, you can filter the real time logging to the group of units that you do want to watch but I think you want to watch everything else, right?
    How about trying systemd-networkd rather than dhcpcd? Or, if you are only concerned about certain priority level messages, set the priority level. If everything you want to monitor is priority 4 and below for example, and if this message priority is 6, then you're all set.
