How to Install Linux Kernel 3.0 on Ubuntu 11.04

and what about nvidia drivers?
after installing 3.0 nvidia drivers will not be available any more...

Neither are the ATI thats why I wish these guys would test this stuff before posting and you have to remove old kernels if you want graphic drivers to work I ended reinstalling after this untested tutorial, but I do appreciate the direction and the availability Thanks

just download the nvidia drivers from nvidia, boot in rescue mode, at the console type: init 3 then sudo sh nvidia*.run and if a gcc conflict arises, choose the override option and it'll build the kernel module and install the opengl files just fine. also have other options with the official nvidia package you don't get from jockey, like the ability to install the driver on a non running kernel and have multiple kernels all with nvidia modules in tact...

hello,
can anyone help me?
i got this error in terminal

Place the files on your home folder (NOT on your desktop) and then run the command in the terminal.

Didnt work errors followed as said is this a new install not much for directions seems like you think its flawless directions had my hopes up but as usual with linux its a disaster waiting to be fixed god I wish linux could just be stable

I do this quite often, it will work everytime on any ubuntu based distro. All you need to do is download the files, open the folder they are in, and then install them.
So lets say i have them in my "Downloads" folder. I would run these commands
cd ./Downloads
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Which will install all ".deb" files in the folder, you could also use the command above or use a package installer like GDebi. When it asks for you password type it then press enter again. The key here is to open the folder the files are located in.

Same here installing on Zorin which is Ubuntu based. I tried both in the article and the *.deb. I'm in the correct directory. Even moved them to my home directory.

Yeah, the directions on here are a little unclear. What you're supposed to do is download the files and then run "sudo dpkg -i" on them... but the article's instructions don't work unless you're in the correct directory. True, it says to put them in your home directory, the default when you open a terminal, but if the debs wind up in Downloads instead (default for Firefox, and probably most other browsers too) you need to cd to ~/Downloads.

@ronaldgibson: looks like you need the debs for a 64-bit system, but you downloaded the 32-bit ones. The bottom three links in the article (under "For Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit") should work.

Used the above mentioned steps for Kubuntu 11.04 but no luck.

Downloaded, Installed & Rebooted as per instructions...
Booted into desktop straight away no problems.
Nvidia working OK too.. Yay..!!

Thanks.

Installed on Linux Mint 11 LXDE 32 bit

it didnt work with my nvidia..
found this ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
it has all new drivers and now its working fine with kernel 3.0

Thanks for the quick wright up. Changing kernels is one of the things I'm always trying to learn more about. I read about people changing around from the .35 to the .38 to 3.0 to see which one works best with their hardware/drivers and it's something I've always wished I knew how to do.

One question, why keep the old kernel on your machine? Are you just leaving it there as a backup incase something doesn't work right with the new kernel? Or does it need to be left on the machine for some other reason?

As a backup just in case the new kernel does not play nice with your hardware.

This helps a lot with sandy bridge hardware... Good enough at least, until Oneiric

Thanks for the share. I have successfully install it on Ubuntu 11.04 on my acer netbook and all is well. I've even experience faster boot time by at least two seconds!Nice!!!

I notice that after doing this, you cant check the status of apparmor.

ubuntu 11.04 kernel 3.0 no nvidia drivers can only boot in safe mode

it didn't work for me either, same problem with Nvidia Drivers, now how to restore to older Kernal

initial problems with the nvidia current (recommended) driver.
deinstalled the nvidia current before upgrade!
after restart the 3D Experimental driver from Nuoveau was the current driver set... everything working fine just now...

So, if it's a good chance it will break my nvidia drivers.
Should I , uninstall nvidia (current-280) drivers, revert to nouveau, install kernel 3.0, reboot, check its ok, then reinstall nvidia drivers?

Also given I have a fairly old system, will I encounter any problems?

youre an idiot!

Works with
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

I wrote similar HOWTO 2 months ago:
http://marcin.juszkiewicz.com.pl/2011/06/20/linux-3-0-under-ubuntu-natty-11-04/

Covered how to use APT to make whole work for user with all updated from Ubuntu kernel team. Your way is nearly same as "let's install any random kernel image" as mainline builds (to which you link) are not supported.

My way also allows to use oneiric packages for additional kernel drivers (like NVidia ones).

I was able to install the kernel on my Debian squeeze after installing
wireless-crda

thank you

sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-3.0.0-0300_3.0.0-0300.201107220917_all.deb linux-headers-3.0.0-0300-generic_3.0.0-0300.201107220917_i386.deb linux-image-3.0.0-0300-generic_3.0.0-0300.201107220917_i386.deb

This works only for 32 bit users.

Just use

dpkg -i linux-*.deb

It works in both the cases.

My WiFi on my laptop stopped working after performing this kernel upgrade. I use NDIS Wrapper and a Windows Wireless Driver for my Netgrear card. This is due to a bug relating to the NDISWrapper and I managed to fix it in the end by following the advice below (the post by System Shock):

This broke my display. I get black screen on boot; no Grub menu, no cursor. It seems to boot and start up, but I have no screen. How can I undo?

ty works like a charm

How about we type sudo dpkg -i *.deb

just to prevent any typo.

i installed this way on three machines all running linux mint 8 , worked like a charm on my laptop no problems.Had to completely remove my nvidia and dkms but works well now , but not so lucky on my other computer , the nvidia driver is the older 173 driver , so not sure if i can use this method

why do i have to UNINSTALL my gfx drivers to do this???

You need to rebuild ALL the proprietary drivers after installing a new kernel. But uninstalling it's easier :)

You need to build the modules to the new kernel. Without uninstalling first could break your gfx modules.

Working 100% in an Asus Eee PC 701SD with Linux Mint 10 (Julia). No problem at all. Everything is working fine.

All went well.
Kubuntu 11.04 x64
Asus K52J series, using Intel GPU (no real Linux support for Nvidia-Optimus)
