Hiccup During Kernel Switcharoo

Support Kernel
1

Good Day,
I am using terminal to change kernels.
There were a series of error and at least one relates to updating packages FIRST. Way back in the day I had that covered with sudo apt-get update etc. That was a long time ago. FOr all intents and purposes I am a brand new user. My understanding from the literature is that PAMAC updates everything. Not too sure that’s working out though. So here’s the error message I got during the kernal switcharoo:

[obit@Neptune ~]$ sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux515

Do you want to continue anyway? [y/N]

Try refreshing your mirrors first… :arrow_down:

sudo pacman-mirrors -f 5

Note that this can take a while, because it’ll select the five fastest mirrors.

Then, update your system… :arrow_down:

pamac update

Then install the new kernel… :arrow_down:

sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux515

… and reboot. After that you can remove whatever EOL kernel you were running.

Tip: When pasting terminal output on Discourse forums, one can either…

  • Use the Preformatted text </> toolbar button–NOT the Quote " button.

  • Add three backticks ` above and below the text (Markdown):

    ```
    type or paste code here
    ```

  • Use HTML:

    <pre><code>
    type or paste code here
    </pre></code>

Please edit your post accordingly.

I’ve done it for her now. She had used single quotes instead of backticks. :wink:

I assume I’ve had success? There were many errors but that is normal, right?

Yes it seems to be updating now which it hasnt before so I just made a great advance. I Thankyou,

Not really ─ you currently have only one working mirror to pull from. But it might work.

If you have that many errors, then you probably have a network problem. :thinking:

Yes in fact today my network is horrible, and I was expecting more mirrors based on my readings. thanks for confirming this for me. So I will update mirrors again later too.

You may wish to use either this, which will try to use ‘local’ (-geoip) mirrors

sudo pacman-mirrors -g && sudo pacman -Syyu

or -f with no arguments which will query all mirrors globally

sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Syyu

Good morning, I am assuming you mean sudo pacman-mirrors…? My terminal threw up a Must have Root Privileges ERROR. Silly question, but you put sudo in after the &&. Is this format correct? Do you ever use sudo twice in the same line such as if I were to add it to the beginning of the first command do I leave the existing sudo after the &&?
Thanks

IIRC you need to put sudo before both commands:

sudo pacman-mirrors -g && sudo pacman -Syyu

or

sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Syyu

I might be wrong, but I don’t think so.

Edit:

And yes, AFAIK you have to have sudo for the command before the && as well as the one after it.

yes, as you say before both commands. Thanks

Looks like everything is fixed. Thanks everyone.
