Installing the Linux Kernel 6.0.0-rc5 in Ubuntu

Installing the Linux Kernel 6.0.0-rc5 in Ubuntu

Hi everyone, Yesterday, the Linux Kernel 6.0.0-rc5 was released. This kernel is mostly a bug fix release. Unfortunately, this release failed to build for the amd64 architecture on the Ubuntu Kernel Team site, but the good news is that today’s daily build succeeded, and we can download and install it in our Ubuntu system. Because the kernel failed to build for the official 6.0.0-rc5 release, we cannot install it via the Ubuntu Mainline Kernel Instaler tool. Instead, we must download…

You can now install the Linux Kernel 6.0-rc3 in Ubuntu with the Ubuntu Mainline Kernel Installer tool

Hi everyone, While the latest Linux Kernel is currently at the 6.0-rc4 version, now we can install the Linux Kernel 6.0-rc3 in our Ubuntu Linux systems. The 6.0-rc4 version failed to compile, and is the reason why it’s not listed in the Ubuntu Mainline Kernel Installer tool, but at least we can now install the packages of the 6.0-rc3 version with it. To install it, you must first enable the installation of unstable kernels in the tool. For this, click…

Ongoing Updates to the paq8px_script.py script to compress files using PAQ8PX

Ongoing Updates to the paq8px_script.py script to compress files using PAQ8PX

Hi everyone, Over the past few days, I’ve revisited my old paq8px_script.py Python script that I wrote in order to compress files using the paq8px compressor. This script builds a file list that we can feed to paq8px so that it can compress multiple files and create an archive. I wrote an introductory post of this project back in 2018. An update I did in 2020 was to add multithreaded compression by making a paq8px archive per file. This is…

Installing Daily Ubuntu Linux Kernels manually (And the Linux Kernel 6.0rc1)

Hi everyone, In this post, I will show you how to install the daily builds of the Linux Kernel from the Ubuntu Kernel Team Server site. Last week, we got the very first Linux Kernel 6.0 release. It is the first Release Candidate, but this kernel failed to build for the amd64 architecture. This means that we can’t install it using the Ubuntu Mainline Kernel Installer tool. Luckily, the Ubuntu Kernel Team does daily builds, and it seems there are…

Hi everyone, The Linux Kernel 5.19.2 was released on Wednesday, August 17, 2022. This kernel is a maintenance release that mainly brings some improvements and bug fixes.
