Install linux kernel 3.5 RC in ubuntu using PPA
Open the terminal and run the following commands
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
If you want to uninstall this you can run the following commands
sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
Well, nothing there right at this time. I’ll give it a try later.
thanks! my 3d sound works only on 3.5…
I can’t even begin to express how grateful I am for this. Thanks to those USB fixes you mentioned, my mouse works for the first time since Linux 2.6! Now I’m not stuck on Debian Squeeze! Hooray!
Just a note:
This also installs/updates loads of other packages, not all of which are stable. In my case it broke my nfs setup and trying to revert via ‘sudo ppa-purge ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa’ broke my installation.
