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…

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…

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. As usual, we should be able to install this kernel in Ubuntu with the Ubuntu Mainline Kernel Installer tool, but when you open the app, you’ll notice that all of the Linux Kernels disappeared from the list, looking like this: This has to do with the fact that the very first release candidate…

Hi everyone, You may recall the post I wrote about installing WirePlumber a few weeks ago. This was because Ubuntu 22.10 will switch to using the PipeWire audio server as the default, replacing PulseAudio. However, there are still some packages that may depend on the actual PulseAudio service due to its implementation. An example of this is the pulseaudio-dlna package, which uses PulseAudio to add DLNA renderers as sound output devices. Therefore, we must start this service manually in Ubuntu…
