I'm guessing that it did... post the output of:

$ pacman -Ss kernel26

First you need to 'pacman -Syy' to update the package lists.

We are both Greeks, so let me explain him...

Ρε σύ up-to-date είσαι. Τι λές;

karol · 2010-07-17 22:15:52

Cool, I've learned a Greek word today: 'up-to-date' ;-P

Your kernel looks up-to-date to me.

jemadux · 2010-07-17 22:22:01

gtklocker · 2010-07-17 22:25:32

No problem at all jemadux

(μπες στο irc να σου πώ, γιατί κατάλαβα πού το πάς )

anonymous_user · 2010-07-17 22:27:31

Even if you have kernel 2.6.34.1 installed, "uname -r" doesn't show the .1 I don't know if that is a bug or intentional though.

If uname did show that last number, external modules would have to recompiled with every minor kernel upgrade.

karol · 2010-07-17 22:32:28

@ lucke
Maybe you should put it in the wiki, 'cause this topic was discussed a couple times already.

anonymous_user · 2010-07-17 22:33:01

@lucke - ok so its intentional, thanks.

@jemadux - you should edit your first post and add [Solved] to the topic title.

jemadux · 2010-07-17 22:33:48

off topic
Xμμμ gtklocker δεν μπορω να συνδεθω στο irc

gtklocker · 2010-07-17 22:40:59

Συνδέθηκες lol!

Please someone close the thread :-)

No need for that .

Jemadux: if you prefer help in your native language, we have a subforum where you can ask for help in Greek.
