Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, I was experiencing this problem 2 to 4 times a day and was patiently waiting on update that would fix it. This seems to have done the trick, can’t thank you enough. Sony Vaio, Intel inside.

After properly added the ppa and updated system, there it was. check if there’s connected problem in the commands outputs.

[Reply]

can we follow this procedure to install 2.6.39 on Ubuntu 10.04 lts?

[Reply]

Just followed your tutorial, it works. What should we do with the Update Manager, as it now proposes an update of kernel?

first update in the list is called Complete Generic Linux Kernel. Clicking it says:
Changes for the versions:
2.6.38.9.23
2.6.39.0.1~20110419

How should I read this? It wants to install the 2.6.38.9.23 or is it a newer version, the 2.6.39.0.1~20110419?

uname -r
2.6.39-0-generic

[Reply]

Actually it was because the database was not updated. I only switched to linux 5 weeks ago

The upgrade of the kernel is even easier if you run following commands in the shell instead of the command under 3.):

sudo apt-get install linux-image
sudo apt-get install linux-headers

[Reply]

This worked!

Not only did it solve the freeze and crash problem, but it solved an extreme typing latency in Unity. Before, with 2.6.38, typing was extraordinarily slow, with long latencies. But no difficulties at all now.

Thanks!

Users with ATI graphic cards who want to update to linux kernel to 2.6.39 should make note of this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/776895

I just updated to 2.6.39 successfully!

I have an ATI graphics card (Mobility 5470). First I followed the instructions as above, but during installation I got an error report and after submitting it, it redirected me to the bug which you get by using a fglrx driver. Then I added the ppa in the bug report made by Robert Hooker (ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates), installed the updated fglrx driver and then restarted.

The first restart seemed a bit laggy but after that everything was fine! =D

[Reply]

Thats work, ty very mucho for fix. I use Edubuntu Natty, i recomend to people change kernel in a new install of Natty. The perfomance is better after kernek change, i dont find any bug after it, so if safe.

I’ve upgraded my ubuntu 10.04 LTS kernel to 2.6.38 and want to upgrade it to 2.6.39 ’cause 2.6.38 freezes sometimes when I try to log on, restart and/or shutdown, so I believe 2.6.39 might have fixed this problem. Anyone with suggestion on how to go about upgrading 10.04 LTS to 3.6.39?

package 2.6.39-0 is not included in list. I am aware of update info, but don’t understand what exactly I have to do. What commands should be executed?

so I try to install 2.6.39. rc4 and 2.6.39 rc1 and both doesn’t help…Wifi freze my systen until I shutdown.
may be usefull try to install elder version which works

[Reply]

I’m trying to upgrade to 2.6.39 on Ubuntu Server 11.04 (fresh install, 2.6.38-8). Is 2.6.39 still in the repositories? After following the steps (added repository and apt-get update) I still cannot see the new kernel after apt-cache. Any ideas? I’m hoping this will fix an annoying bug with ALC892 HD Audio. Thanks!

[Reply]

There still is NO “2.6.39″ in the list:
(please fix or get rid of your misleading instructions)
thx.

I run 11.04 with 2.6.38-10 on an AMD-based ‘Lenovo Edge 11′ with some issues. … added the ppa.

However, indeed no 2.6.39 in my list.
Please deliver.

P.S.: There is also something wrong in the window-decorators, as they are not updated.

P.S.II: I am writing this from another machine under 10.04 LTS, no issues there whatsoever

I cannot see the 2.6.39 kernel in the list.

Can anybody help ?

Hi had this same issue with Ubuntu 11.04 on my HP Mini 2133. While I was running apt-cache showpkg linux-headers I couldn’t find *2.6.39-0-generic listed. This was because I had disabled my Wi-Fi adapter in the BIOS earlier. So a good thing to check is that the adapter is enabled in Bios aswell… Lesson leared.

having the same problem. The kernel is NOT in the ppa for some unknown reason. Got it from:
http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-install-linux-kernel-2-6-39-rc4-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty

dpkg -i .deb worked flawless. Rebooting also. I also installed the header, but my nvidia driver says that the kernel source is missing. COULD SOMEONE PLEASE FIX THE REPOSETORY TO INCLUDE 2.6.39 !?!?

Hi,
thanks for this information. I already upgraded two PCs from 11.04-32 bits to 11.10, with a screen resolution problem on the second one.
I am now upgrading 11.04-64 bits to 11.10-64 bits on the same second PC and I get a lot of problems.
Ubuntu 11.10-64 bits has been upgraded with kernel 2.6.38-11 and, after the commands you indicated, it remains with this old kernel.
