multiple boot init

[Jesús TEJERINA RIVERA]

Hi, i have windows 10 and linux lite 5.8 over ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

Every time I do an update, it increases those options.

How can I correct it so that only one linux appears? Thanks.

Do you retain the old kernels after running updates ?
It is good to keep one (or maybe two) old kernels in case you encounter problems with the latest one, but removing unused kernels should reduce the options you see.

Boot your system on the option for the latest kernel.  To confirm what kernel you have booted, open a terminal and type

Code:

cd /proc

followed by return, then

Code:

cat version

followed by return.

As of 5th Feb 2023, the current kernel for 5.8 is 5.4.0-137-generic so your output should confirm this.  If it does, run Lite Tweaks and select Kernel Remover and click begin.  This should show you the unused images on your system.  Removing all but the most recent should reduce the options in the GRUB menu.

Not sure why your GRUB is doing this, have you modified the file /etc/default/grub ?

EDIT - That's the Boot Manager  screen - rather than the grub menu. Please ignore the grub references above.

1. Can I remove all?
2. How to update to kernel 5.4.0-137?

Thanks...

1) You can remove all. I'd begin by removing some to see if the boot manager screen gives fewer options afterwards.

2) 5.4.0.137 may not be what you want.  I suggested it because your profile says your system LL 5.8 64 bit and your original post also says 5.8 though it also says 22.04 which is confusing.  If you really are on LL5.8 then 5.4.0.137 would have been the current kernel.

However, if you have 5.15.0.58 it implies you have LL6.x and the current kernel for LL6.x is 5.15.0.58.

Can you clarify which version of LL please ?

That's interesting. As I understand from the release notes

LL 5.x based on ubuntu 20.04 and began with 5.4.0-33
LL 6.x based on ubuntu 22.04 and began with 5.15.0-33

Did you manually install kernel 5.15.0 at some point ?

What do you get from these commands ?

Code:

inxi -S

Code:

cat /etc/llver

Did removing the older kernels change your Boot Manager options ?

[Jesús TEJERINA RIVERA]

No, all I do is update what the PACKAGE UPDATE INDICATOR tells me.


Yes, i remove all kernel but "init boot" is same.
