Unable to update the kernel
- Anmelden oder Registrieren um Kommentare zu schreiben
I tried to follow the guide here: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/update-linux-libre-kernel
but the $ sudo apt install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-8.0 xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04
command gave me this output:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-generic-hwe-8.0 : Depends: linux-image-generic-hwe-8.0 (= 4.13.0.45.64+8.0trisquel4) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I checked in synaptic package manager for broken packages, but seemingly there was none.
I recently installed Trisquel 8 and I believe it is the latest release.
The computer I am using is a MacBook Pro 9,1.
Do the right thing and install your kernel from here:
Why is that the "right thing"?
There is not the right thing, it is only another option. Much better to update the kernel and the xorg.
I think the problem is with the last update of the Trisquel's repository. Try again when the repositories will get update.
Check these dates: http://es.archive.trisquel.info/trisquel/dists/?C=M;O=D
Ok, thanks.
Check those dates for what? :)
To see if the repositories are updated....or
sudo apt update
I believe the $ sudo apt update command checks the repositories to see if your packages are up to date.
Is that what you mean by "see if the repositories are updated"?
Or is it a completely different matter to see if the repositories themselves are updated?
I mean that the "4.13.0.45.64+8.0trisquel4" package is incorrect or empty so You have to wait until the repositories will be update to install a new "hwe" kernel and relative xorg.
Oh right, so when there's a new distro release the repositories will be updated.
Like according to the link you link the last time flidas (Trisquel 8) was updated (and so the repositories) was 2018-06-22?
>Oh right, so when there's a new distro release the repositories will be updated.
Normally the Trisquel's repo are updated once a week, more or less. There is a script that purge the proprietary software from Ubuntu, the last update was on June 22, maybe the script is blocked, it already happens.
Hm, I see.
But do I understand it correctly that packaging update and repository update are two separate matters?
