Unable to locate package linux-image-extra-3.8.0-29-generic

Hi,


Info:
Ubuntu 12.04.3 Server (Needs to be 12.04.3 because of the "bug" in the 12.04.4 update. Building a CUDA5.5/Ubuntu 12.04 system for CPU/GPU number crunching)
Clean installation!

Anybody who can help me solve this problem???

Code:

# apt-get install linux-image-extra-$(uname -r) x11-xserver-utils mesa-utils

Hi Srijan,


Thanks for getting back to me

Is there a little chance, that you might explain a little of the command!?!? Please do. I've been working this system for 9 month or so, so I'm very interested in knowing what the different commands does. Will you please explain these for me. Thanks in advange my friend

This will instruct your grub to use all dependencies for the kernel, generally when we do updates/upgrades some times kernel get updated with linux-image-xxx-generic and linux-image-generic but it misses its linux-image-extra which causes the issue of missing packages. Better practise for upgrading kernel is to install 3 packages at the same time otherwise if any package will miss it will get refused by grub and causing the issue of missing package.

 

Hi Srijan,


Thanks my friend, helpfull as always

Those 3 you showed me ??

 

Hello again,


Srijan, do you know why this problem accours using the version/update 12.04.3 Server, but not when using the 12.10 Server ????
