Better as a global page? 20:42:06 <Yorvyk> I think the warnings need to be stronger with a suggestion that two kernels is safer. 20:42:10 <MrChrisDruif> Yorvyk; It is properly mentioned on the page that it removes all but the current and should only be used by experienced users that know what they are doing 20:42:12 <gilir> Yorvyk, as long as the one you keep is tested, and work fine, I don't see it as a problem 20:42:28 <MrChrisDruif> michaelrawson; agreed, but currently there isn't a page for that on the wiki 20:42:29 <jalcine> Hmm. What happens if a user needs an older kernel in order to install drivers? 20:42:44 <jalcine> Or some sort of unprecedented regression issue occurs? 20:43:04 <michaelrawson> MrChrisDruif-okay by me. 20:43:41 <phillw> MrChrisDruif: we can look to move it to main help-wiki area. 20:43:53 <MrChrisDruif> jalcine; again, it's properly mentioned on the page that it should only be used by users knowing what they are doing 20:44:08 <MrChrisDruif> And installing older kernels can still be done with synaptic afaik 20:44:32 <MrChrisDruif> phillw; that would be nice, but I think it needs some work before it can be moved 20:44:36 <jalcine> Alrighty, then I'm for it. 20:44:57 <jalcine> Well, I'm talking before loading of said kernel, like at post-Grub. 20:45:51 <gilir> thanks MrChrisDruif, anything to add ? 20:46:03 <michaelrawson> +1 from me, but I really think someone should at least understand what that code does. Otherwise something could unexpectedly break... 20:46:05 <MrChrisDruif> jalcine; if you check that page, it'll reference to a page for people who've even removed ALL kernels with the manual way 20:46:20 <MrChrisDruif> This automatic command is safer if you ask me 20:46:33 <jalcine> Hmm. okay. 20:46:41 <phillw> +1 I wrote that page when someone did that! 20:47:05 <Yorvyk> I'm not against it in principal, people just don't take warnings as seriously as they should. 20:47:06 <MrChrisDruif> michaelrawson; If you want, I can reverse engineer the code to prove that it is a solid command 20:47:24 <michaelrawson> Not my decision-but it might be a good idea IMO. 20:47:46 <Yorvyk> Apt should do this anyway. 20:47:57 <michaelrawson> I appreciate that it works-I just ran it, but it's kinda fiddly to debug. 20:48:20 <MrChrisDruif> #action MrChrisDruif Reverse engineer the command for automatic old kernel removal 20:48:20 * meetingology MrChrisDruif Reverse engineer the command for automatic old kernel removal 20:48:54 <MrChrisDruif> Nothing else to add from me gilir =) 20:49:17 <MrChrisDruif> Questions? 20:49:27 <gilir> MrChrisDruif, I think Yorvyk is right, an apt command may do it without the need of a sed + dpkg 20:49:50 <gilir> any kernel no necessary is marked as obsolet in synatic 20:50:08 <michaelrawson> doesn't autoremove do it? 20:50:14 <gilir> so it should be possible to remove them with apt 20:50:16 <MrChrisDruif> I got the command from webupd8 if I remember correct, if anyone has a command with apt with the same function 20:50:32 <phillw> michaelrawson: no, autoremove is not trusted with kernels :) 20:50:34 <MrChrisDruif> michaelrawson; linux-image is blocked from autoremove 20:50:49 <gilir> michaelrawson, probably, but you need to only autoremove the kernel, not sure it's possible in a 1-line command 20:50:51 <michaelrawson> ahah, fair enough. I stand corrected. :) 20:51:07 <Yorvyk> Auto remove only works with the header files. 20:51:48 <Yorvyk> I have the apt command some where, I'll hunt it down. 20:52:02 <gilir> ok, let's search for it after the meeting :) 20:52:14 <MrChrisDruif> Appreciated Yorvyk 20:52:18 <gilir> #topic Any Other Business 20:52:34 <gilir> we need to book the next meetings on the fridge :) 20:52:42 <Yorvyk> I'll be looking om Friday when I have time :) 20:52:44 <phillw> +1 20:52:47 <MrChrisDruif> It's not on there? 20:53:05 <gilir> MrChrisDruif, I check before the meeting, they was gone 20:53:18 <MrChrisDruif> All? 20:53:36 <MrChrisDruif> I see what happened, anyhow 20:53:46 <MrChrisDruif> What channel for the double booked ones? 20:54:11 <phillw> I think -offtopic is best placed, to keep main support channel free 20:54:19 <MrChrisDruif> +1 20:54:41 <gilir> phillw, ok let's go for it 20:55:12 <gilir> any other topics ? 20:56:09 <gilir> ok, let's finish th emeeting 20:56:13 <gilir> thanks everyone :) 20:56:15 <phillw> As always, thanks for chairing, gilir :) 20:56:21 <gilir> #endmeeting
