Linux Lite Kernel

[frank392]

@ Duckeenie

Have you try

sudo /sbin/rcvboxdrv setup

[Wirezfree]

From my notes:
"Whenever you change Host Kernel, do:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
sudo apt-get remove virtualbox-dkms
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-dkms

This forces Vbox kernel modules to re-compile, apparently?

I have yet to change the kernel on my main PC with VBox.
But googling shows this to be a common suggestion after kernel updates.

Thanks for your help guys.

I opened a new thread here https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/installing-software/virtualbox-with-new-kernel/ to avoid corrupting this one.

I wanted to help and try your experimental kernel 3.15.0, so I uninstalled my upgraded 4.12 kernel and restored to original 3.13.0-66-generic.  I then proceeded to copy your code into terminal and was unsuccessful?  However, XFCE has already been upgraded to 4.12 if that matters.  See terminal results below and thanks in advance!  Tom

I got your kernel installed and everything seems to working fine.  If you need me to test anything specific, I will be glad to help if I can. Thank you for Linux Lite!

Also, what is the output of:

dpkg --list | grep linux-image

Not even after a reboot.
I get this output:

You've added a PPA at some stage for Java by the looks that is broken. Remove the PPA and try again, should be fine then. Then install the new kernel again.

Thanks Jerry,
I removed the PPA and kernel installed without a problem.
Not sure why my brain didnt pick up on that PPA error. Maybe bit too tired. But now all is fine again.

@Jerry.

Whilst investigating an issue with Systemback not allowing you to create new live system, which appears to be kernel related.

I found this related to kernel 4.2, will you be doing an update from 4.2.0 to 4.2.6.?,
or will you just provide the initial releases. 4.2.0 , 4.3.0 , 4.4.0

The 4.2.6 article mentions "fixes" to "overlayfs" one of the things the Systemback dev referred to.

Thanks...
