It seems that after the last updates my machine is now running the
generic kernel 3.5.0-33 by default. This seems to have broken JACK,
which was running without problems for a long time. So I have the
following questions:
- How do I "downgrade" so that the 3.5.0-31-lowlatency kernel becomes my
default setting?
Remove any package with generic in it's name. (should be 3):
linux-image-3.5.0-33-generic, linux-headers-3.5.0-33-generic and
linux-image-extra-3.5.0-33-generic.
You may also want to remove (if they are installed):
linux-generic, linux-headers-generic, linux-image-generic, linux, linux
image, etc. I can't remember which ones the upgrader uses to point to the
latest generic kernel. However, if you leave them installed, they may pull
in the next new generic kernel again.
- Why does Ubuntu Studio bother with the generic
kernel anyway?
They don't. The upgrader is not a UbuntuStudio Project and seems to break
some things in UbuntuStudio. A fresh install just has the low latency
kernel... at least any of the UbuntuStudio versions I have tried ... all
of them from 12.04 to 13.10alpha. I, personally, have had other issues
with upgrades in Ubuntu Studio as well. Reinstall is best. (but then I
have been doing fresh installs since SlackWare 0.9.* or so... maybe I
should come out of the dark ages?)
