Rahasia : Switch to a newer kernel in Ubuntu 10.04

Sometimes a newer kernel is necessary because there are newer drivers in there. If you’re having trouble with hibernate/suspend, wlan, bluetooth etc. Switching to new kernel can be a good idea.
Default kernel in 10.04 is 2.6.32 and this guide will help you update to 2.6.34.
When installing this kernel will be default because it has a higher number than 2.6.32.
During boot hold “shift” key pressed to display boot menu.
Propetary drivers graphic and wlan drivers might stop working. You have been warned.

Run this command in the same catalog as above files are downloaded:
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Now do a restart.
If you are having trouble getting wlan to run on Broadcom chipset after upgrade. Run these commands:
cd /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.34-020634-generic/include
sudo cp generated/* linux/
Update 2010-06-08
Some information how to uninstall it might be handy.
To uninstall 2.6.34 run these commands:
sudo dpkg –purge linux-headers-2.6.34-020634 linux-headers-2.6.34-020634-generic linux-image-2.6.34-020634-generic linux-source-2.6.34
Update 2010-06-22
Dont worry about Ubuntus updates to newer 2.6.32 or 2.6.33 kernels, they will have a lower priority in GRUB and therefore not be used as default kernel. So accept all kernel updates that update-manager offers.
