How to Remove Old Linux Kernels

Sometimes /boot is so limited, and tend to forget to do housekeeping. Here goes

dpkg --list | grep linux-image |awk {'print $2'}|grep -v "`uname -r`\|linux-image-generic"|xargs apt-get purge -y

Borked with Error during Make Menuconfig in Kernel Compile?

And it'll insya Allah, works!

Pasang kernel terkini dari PPA

Kernel terkini memang mengujakan, selain dari "bragging right" untuk ada kernel terbaru, ia juga berguna untuk menguji ciri-ciri terbaru pada kernel yang ada di dalam git.

Selain dari kompil sendiri dari git, kita boleh pasang kernel terbaru dari PPA di sini.

Option linux-image-extra, menurut komen di sini adalah untuk kernel yang mengandungi driver-driver seperti untuk KVM dan Virtualbox.

Selamat mencuba!

Buang kernel lama selepas upgrade

Run ni dulu:

 dpkg -l 'linux-*' | sed '/^ii/!d;/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\(.*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/d;s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* \([^ ]*\).*/\1/;/[0-9]/!d'

Bila dah yakin, baru run:

dpkg -l 'linux-*' | sed '/^ii/!d;/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\(.*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/d;s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* \([^ ]*\).*/\1/;/[0-9]/!d' | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge

Pastikan anda faham apa yang anda lakukan, segala risiko tidak akan saya tanggung.

Compiling Linux Kernel for Ubuntu

Sometimes I felt like I wanted to have a feeling of the new kernel, well my opinion is that Ubuntu and its derivatives aren't designed for such customizations, unless you're a developer.

The notes on kernel compilation is here . Basically for Ubuntu the way is slightly different and seems much easier since you don't have to edit the Grub configurations manually after you created the *.deb file for linux images and headers. Everything will be taken care for you.

My system is now, running Linux Mint 12 [derived from Ubuntu 11.10]
