[SOLVED] Problems with 3.0.29 header with PAE

I would do the following.

First boot to your desktop using the 3.2.0-27 kernel (choose that from the grub menu).
As soon as you boot up open terminal and write the following:

Code:

uname -r

This will confirm that you are indeed using kernel 3.2.0-27. Of course, you will not delete this kernel.

Then in terminal write the following:

Code:

dpkg --list | grep linux-image

This will show you all the installed kernels of your system.

Find the one(s) that you want to remove and then in terminal write:

Code:

sudo apt-get purge linux-image-x.x.x.x-generic

(This should probably be linux-image-3.2.0-29-generic)

Then do

Code:

sudo update-grub2

to update your grub entries.

I think there will not be any problem, but you could back-up before doing so, to be on teh safe side.

Hi Swarf,

as far as I know, there is nothing wrong with the new files you replaced as I did the same and have no problems after accepting "Replace", so try running these commands in a terminal then see if it works afterwards:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

followed by:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f

Restart your PC afterwards, you can leave the kernel installed until you find out whether this will fix it.

The -f denotes the force command.

@MV,

should that GRUB command not be:

sudo update-grub

I don't think the "2" is necessary??????.
