<b>MyThoughts:</b> "For all the people who are waiting for the Linux 2.6.34 kernel for Ubuntu the wait is over. The kernel is available for Ubuntu Lucid right now, the downside is that you have to compile it yourself, the upside there's an article for that."
<b>LWN.net:</b> "As of this writing, the current kernel prepatch is 2.6.34-rc6. A couple more prepatches are most likely due before the final release, but the number of changes to be found there should be small. In other words, 2.6.34 is close to its final form, so it makes sense to take a look at what has gone into this development…
Ever since I have installed 12.04 (clean install not an upgrade), i have been having a drop in the Internet connection. The drop in the connection can be anything from 15 seconds to about 3 mins, and then the connection comes back. This behaviour happens while I am actively browsing the Internet, or if I wake up the computer and open Firefox…

May be due to the update before yesterday, more pilot managed, but somehow it worked yesterday.
If someone has an idea of the problem.

I have installed a linux distro and I "think" it is vulnerable to kernel exploits. I have to update kernel but I need to know if it is really compiled in year 2003? How can I know if additional updates are made to the kernel?

I just recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 (64 bit) and a number of my USB devices have stopped working. At least, they don't work for the first 3-5 minutes. I have two mice (one wireless, one wired) and a camera, which seem to take Ubuntu 3-5 minutes to recognize after booting up. Eventually, they do start to work, but it takes ages!

I have server which hung every 2-5 days.
dmesg show following situation:

After the boot loader hands execution over to the kernel, what happens? I know assembler, so what are the first few executions that a kernel must make or is there a C function that does this? What is the startup sequence before the kernel can execute an arbitrary binary?
I'm playing with kernel module hiding on Linux Kernel 3.x. I try to hide and recover the module from /sys/module. Everything works fine on Kernel Version 3.0 and 3.2.6, I can load and unload the module and hide and unhide it. When I'm unloading the module on kernel 3.6.6 I get the following error:
rmmod: ERROR: could not open…
I'm currently learning about the different modes the Windows operating system runs in (kernel mode vs. user mode), device drivers, their respective advantages and disadvantages and computer security in general.
I would like to create a practical example of what a faulty device driver that runs in kernel mode can do to the…
Ubuntu's Out-Of-Memory Killer wreaked havoc on my server, quietly assassinating my applications, sendmail, apache and others.
I've managed to learn what the OOM Killer is, and about its "badness" rules. While my machine is small, my applications are even smaller, and typically only half of my physical memory is in use,…
I notice that GRUB (or is it GRUB2?) asks which version of Linux I'd like to boot, and outdated versions of the kernel are listed. How do I remove these and their associated files to save disk space? Since I'm new to Linux, is there any reason why I shouldn't remove them?
I need to know how to automatically load a kernel module at startup on FC9. All the sites talk about adding an entry to /etc/modules.conf.... But that does not exist on FC9... Instead I have /etc/modprobe.d/ directory... Now, I suppose I need to put a file in this dir for my driver but I have no idea how to write this…
After installing latest updates I can't set screen resolution higher than 1024x768; every time after the boot I get a message

I can boot with 3.2.0-25 and the graphics look…

I am trying to improve performance on my server. I have a few processes that need low jitter (less than 10ms variance).
I have a load average of 4 maximum on an i7-920 (4 physical cores, 8 with HT). There are about 10 processes ranging from 40% to 90% of a core user mode. System usage is 3% total.…
I want to add a foo method to Ruby's Kernel module, so I can write foo(obj) anywhere and have it do something to obj. Sometimes I want a class to override foo, so I do this:
module Kernel
private # important; this is what Ruby does for commands like 'puts', etc.
def foo x

I'm using the "Windows CE Kernel Tracker" tool to gather data from my embedded device.
This is working fine for short period of time. It seems that the tool is getting data in memory and not on disk.
I'm wondering if there is a way to take the data from the device and log it in one or more file…
Is there any command to for a file to be read in and loaded into the linux disk cache? This is on an up-to-date debian system.
I know in the general case, it's better to let the linux kernel figure this out. But I have an edge case. I have a laptop that has an NFS director mounted, and i want to…

My /boot is at 100%. When I run aptitude search ~ilinux-image I'm getting loads of unused images. When I try to delete one of them (after checking which one is currently in use by doing uname -r), e.g apt-get autoremove linux-image-3.2.0-44-generic I get:
