[SOLVED] Kernel 4.2 ?

[Landrew]

Hello - I've been updating by the Software Updater and my version says 4.5 but I'm on Linux 3.16.0-59 not 4.2.  Where did I go wrong?

BackBox Linux 4.5 \n \l

Distributor ID:   Ubuntu
Description:   Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
Release:   14.04
Codename:   trusty
Linux 3.16.0-59-generic #79~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 18 15:39:06 UTC 2016

thanks

Hi,

If you are using virtual box or vmware it's better to stay with that kernel, if not you can break something. If not you just need to read forum post or blog post about BackBox Linux 4.5 released and you will find your answer, don't be lazy :).

Thanks I executed the procedure for i386 and received this error on the 1st step of the i386 process.  No vmware or virualbox beling used

I need to run one vm and test it, but on my old laptop i didn't have issue with that. I will keep you posted.

linux-signed-generic-lts-wily linux-signed-image-generic-lts-wily

... are only for amd64

[ZEROF]

Yep,

I need to update our post Raf, update blog as well. Right answer is:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic-lts-wily linux-image-generic-lts-wily

Thanks I made the change for i386 and everything worked perfectly.  Thanks

The upgrade process went fine. and I can open Firefox and browse the web fine.  But when I start Anonymous to browse anonymously Firefox never loads pages and times out. Also I am unable to ping any websites in anonymous mode such as google.com.   Ping replies with "unknown host google.com"

thx

Hi,

I don't know, for me it's working. You can't ping because traffic is routed, but you can surf and use tools. You can always install Tor browser.

[Landrew]

Are you running the i386 or 64 update?

[ZEROF]

Both  ;D ;D ;D

[Landrew]

I'm up and browsing Anonymously.    I had to turn my Gufw firewall off.  Some ports or something must have changed.  I'll check the firewall issue.

Thanks

[ZEROF]

Man you never said that you are using firewall. It's normal that you can't use Anonymous if you don't open few ports like 9050, 80, 443 etc..
