What is kernel26-lts-2.6.32.28-4

I don't know what is the use of this package as prompted by today's upgrade. Can someone explain?

[solved]What steps are rquired to switch to kernel26-lts?

Hi,
I've searched the wiki and forums.
I'm thinking of trying out the long term support kernel as my primary kernel, I've never used an alternate kernel before, so beyond "pacman -S kernel26-lts" I don't know the process of changing kernels.
I use the propriety nvidia driver, so I'm assuming I'll need the lts version from AUR?
is it just a matter of appending a "lts" to the kernel line in grub?
thanks

[SOLVED] A question about kernel26-lts

If you look at the kernel26-lts PKGBUILD, theoretically, it can coexist with the normal kernel26.
But, it really can't.
Because when it is installed, it is going to replace the /boot/vmlinuz26 file of kernel26, with its own.
Is this right, or am I getting something wrong?
The reason I am asking this is because I want to migrate a certain machine from kernel26 to kernel26-lts.
The machine is in a remote location and I do not have physical access to it, only ssh.
So I do not want to make any mistake and end up with an unbootable machine at the end.

Not sure what empirical evidence you have to back this up. Especially since you can install both kernels through pacman, and pacman would check for file conflicts; so if they could not coexist pacman would alert you about certain files already being installed. Better even, if the packages were to conflict, then pacman would already know because of the conflicts=() line in both PKGBUILDs.

Even if the kernel26-lts pacakge were to replace certain files, you could easily just remove that kernel and re-install the regular kernel26 again after that. No harm done. One thing to keep an eye on regardless of what kernel you install: make sure your bootloader can find the new kernel before you reboot.
You won't wreck your system by trying, and that's the easiest way to falsify your assumption . This is something basic you can find out easily, and if you're really scared you can try it on a local system, I'm sure it's not just the server you run Arch on.

Kernel26-lts hangs at booting modules

I have kernel26 and kernel26-lts installed.
Kernel26 works good, but I think I also have this I/O issue:
#uptime
[...] load average: 1.29, 1.29, 1.15
To further test it I wanted to boot up kernel26-lts. But while loading the modules during bootup it just hangs. Hard reboot...
Tried it with kernel26-lts from extra and testing, makes no difference. Also started with nomodeset acpi=off noapic boot options (and all combinations of it).
When I started kernel26-lts in verbose mode, I saw a lot of data just fly by without being able to read it. This line repaeted itself a lot though:
wifi0: Interrupt, but dev not configured
So, can you give me any tips on what to do to get my kernel26-lts working? Or getting any helpful info for a bug report?

Thanks for your reply!
I'm unfortunately not able to read any text from the kernel.log from the lts starting. There's nothing written to the kernel.log...
As kernel26-2.6.35.x is the first version with KMS working for my ATI card, I also tried disabling it by removing radeon from modules array in rc.conf. That didn't work either...

B44 and kernel26-lts or how deep am I in?

Here is the short story:
I used to own a laptop that I gave to my mother and I manage/fix issues... through ssh and/or vnc. A month ago, I did an update and the ethernet (b44) and wireless (ipw2200) stopped working. I google and search the forum and found a couple of threads that recommend using kernel26-lts. Last week-end, I installed kernel26-lts and I could connect to my wireless router (yay!). Since I was very busy last weekend, I forgot to test the ethernet card. Now my mother is back to her place (a 4 hour drive and I don't have a car) and it doesn't work! And of course, she doesn't have a wireless router and buying one is not an option, so she is without internet connection.
Can someone please tell me that I only forgot to (un)set/blacklist a module... and how to fix this issue. All I can do right now is give instructions on the phone to a very computer illiterate person (and is it ever so frustrating! - love you mom!)
Laptop:
Inspiron 9300 i686
ethernet b44
wireless ipw2200
kernel26-lts 2.3.32
kernel26 2.6.34

2.6.34.2-1 broke b44 and upgrading to 2.6.34.2-2 fixes it. Not sure what the situation is with lts.
edit: if she boots with the lts 2.6.32 ethernet should work. I have a Dell Inspiron and the only time I have ever lost ethernet is with 2.6.34.2-1.

[FIXED] kernel26-lts for Intel driver's conflict with KMS in kernel26

Hi,
I am running on a GM965/GL960 Intel video card. During the install (and later use) of Arch, I had to add i915.modeset=0 on the kernel line in grub when booting to get to a visible terminal; otherwise I used to get a blank screen after udev loaded. However, taking a leaf from Ubuntu on same laptop (and since most fixes for this issue recommended downgrading the kernel), I installed kernel26-lts. This works quite well with the latest xorg (1.9) and intel driver (2.12.0-3).
kernel26 - 2.6.35
kernel26-lts - 2.6.32-23
1. Are desktop users recommended to use the LTS kernel?
2. For certain components (Broadcom wi-fi), where I intend to install drivers from the AUR - will they work on LTS kernel?
3. Is this a good strategy? I intend to keep kernel26 also on my machine and when the Intel issue gets fixed, I will switch back to kernel26.

1. If it works for you, use it.
2. There are -lts versions of some packages and compiling others against any supported kernel should be fine.
3. Seems nice and simple.
You can also try .34 version or the regular kernel.

Installation of Archboot: cannot resolve "kernel26-lts"

Hi,
I'm trying to install the latest Archboot. My existing host is using kernel 3.1.9-2 but Archboot seems to need kernel26. When I try to install it with pacman, it says:
warning: cannot resolve "kernel26-lts>=2.6.32.46-1", a dependency of "archboot"
warning: cannot resolve "kerenl26-lts>=2.6.32", a dependency of "noveau-drm-lts"
warning: cannot resolve "kernel26-lts<2.6.33", a dependency of "nouveau-drm-lts"
Do I really need to install kernel26 items? I'm hesitant because I really like the nice minimal system I have at the moment.
tia!

kernel26-lts has been renamed to linux-lts when Linux 3.0 became LTS, so your ArchBoot must be out of date...
In fact "pacman -Si archboot | grep kernel" returns nothing.
However:
$ pacman -Si nouveau-drm-lts | grep kernel
Depends On : kernel26-lts>=2.6.32 kernel26-lts<2.6.33
This package is orphan, which must be the reason why it's not up to date.
I suppose you could use abs to rebuild nouveau-drm-lts against kernel 3.0... Maybe .

Kernel26-lts 2.6.32 ready for prime time?

As far as I understood write access to the [Testing] ML is Dev/TU only, so I thought I'd share this here. I just installed the 2.6.32 kernel26-lts package from [Testing] on my AppleTV. The recent kernel/nVidia driver updates (not sure which one is the culprit, but it's pretty much a moving target on a box that needs fairly stable stuff) made HD playback choppy and caused higher CPU usage (even idle). Hence my decision to switch to the (hopefully upcoming) kernel26-lts and built nvidia 190.53 and the corresponding nvidia-utils package against it. So far it seems to run fine, I still have to play HD content on it but I'll report if any problems arise. I just switched my server too, but since both systems are meant for stability (within reason of course, since it's still Arch), I was a bit wary to pull the kernel from [Testing] without a full sync (I know, bad mojo). Then again, the other deps it needs are met by any up to date non-current systems.
One question though: shouldn't there be a corresponding kernel26-lts-firmware package, or is the firmware included in the kernel26-lts package? Pacman says the lts package just needs 2.6.27 firmware or higher.

Yeah I forgot that 2.6.34 from testing on my laptop pulled in that package Sorry about that

Kernel26-lts gone? [solved]

Greetings,
I am trying to use Paragon NTFS & HFS+ for Linux 8.x Express, however, it requires the 2.6 kernel -- kernel26-lts seems to be gone and replaced by kernel-lts which is a 3.0 kernel. Is there any way to install a 2.6 kernel without having to compile it myself? I looked at kernel.org and the latest stable is 2.6.35.13 however none of the AUR 2.6 kernels use this, they are all on .38 or newer -- plus i am not sure which is a good one to use.
Anyone out there using a 2.6 kernel still or have advice on how to go about getting one up and running?
thanks!
Adam

Can't load vboxdrv driver on lts kernel

I am having trouble starting vbox machine on 3.14.28-1-lts kernel after recent update.
I got virtualbox-host-modules-lts and checked https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox so everything looks good in general...
The error I get is this:

The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing
'pacman -S virtualbox-host-modules'

I tried few things but the end result is I can't load the vboxdrv, here is some output:

What's strange is that the "Version" is the same - 4.3.20-2, but the "Installed Size" varies... 167 KiB vs 187 KiB.
Also, the build date on the virtualbox-host-modules package (still the current one in the repos) was Dec 8, 2014... The linux-lts package build date is Jan 16, 2015.

[solved] linux-lts?

I'm curious about two things:
1) What does the "long time support" of kernel26-lts refer to, support from the Linux kernel team or the Archlinux team? Where can I find out more about release engineering things about it?
2) When will linux-lts(that is, a Linux 3 kernel with LTS) be out? (The depends on the previous question about who maintains the LTS.)

How to add a kernel-lts boot option from grub ?

Hey,
Actually in grub I have deux boot choices:
Arch Linux => last kernel
Arch Linux Fallback => I don't know really the differences between Fallback & "normal" boot
I would like to add an entry to boot with the kernel26-lts I've just installed
Thank you

The bold are the changes. As hokasch states, you can verify what your files are called by looking in /boot .
Worked Perfectly man
Thank you

LTS Kernel + remote server

Hi all,
I rent a dedicated server running archlinux on which I want to have the lts kernel so I installed it.
I do not have any physical access, only ssh, so I wanted to make sure it will reboot. Is there a way to check that the grub configuration is OK?
For now, my /boot/grub/menu.lst looks like this:
default=0
timeout=5
title linux archlinux2009-08
kernel /boot/bzImage-2.6.38.2-xxxx-grs-ipv6-32 root=/dev/sda1 ro
root (hd0,0)
Yes, that's it but I obviously did not make the install and have no idea about how they manage this in the datacenter. So, to what should I change this?
It does not look as my arch home installation at all (no initrd line).
Any help would be appreciated
EDIT: maybe this could help (content of /boot )
bzImage-2.6.38.2-xxxx-grs-ipv6-32

System.map-2.6.38.2-xxxx-grs-ipv6-32

All right. I modified my /boot/grub/menu.lst as follow:
default=0
timeout=5
# original setup
# title linux archlinux2009-08
# kernel /boot/bzImage-2.6.38.2-xxxx-grs-ipv6-32 root=/dev/sda1 ro
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel LTS

Can someone confirm I should be OK with this setup?

[SOLVED] Kernel 3.0 become 2.6.32.48-1-lts after update?

Hi everybody,
After I updated my laptop yesterday, I can not change the screen resolution. It is only 1024*768 while the maximum is 1336*768. Then I figure out the kernel was downgraded from 3.0 to arch 2.6.32.48-1-lts. In the /boot folder, I only find kernel26-lts.img here. I don't know why?
How can I fix it?
Thank you!

I only use the option -Syu to sync and upgrade system, everything work fine until yesterday.
If I remove the lts kernel, whether the system return to kernel 3. ?
Do
pacman -S linux
than configure Grub to match the 3.0 / 3.1 naming. See: http://www.archlinux.org/news/changes-t … filenames/

What is kernel26-lts-2.6.32.28-4
