Hi all
So i just fu.ked up things before coffee !
I just wanted a new kernel so i pressed the bad button ! My mistake...
My machine runs 86_64 & i downloaded i386, ahahah
APT doesnt like !
Does any one of u knows a way to just nuke this kernel (5.11.6-i386)
and the easy way to set the proper amd64 one ?
For the time beeing i'm with: 5.10.23-xanmod1.
You understood i'm no dev , yet no plain newbie.
Hopefully i have other machines running Garuda(Arch based), Fedora, OpenSuse +
readable back-ups (3 externals HDD <5years).
BUT i like THIS distro !!!
Best
F.
Hi
APTus and APTus AppCenter has an option of removing old kernels so try to use it
Thanks a lot for quick reply...
I tryied using Aptus but it fails to remove that kernel...
So i just choose at boot time the proper one !
I'm going to gather info on @ if there is a way... i doubt it
Maybe i should access GRUB (command line) & there tell witch kernel is to be used by default ?
Best
Fred.

I checked menuentry & /boot/grub/grub.cfg but i dont want to break grub so...
Just want to "hide" my mistake by changing boot order !
I'll do update-grub now, just in case.
Best
F.
Again, sorry to bother
etc/default/grub i changed GRUB_DEFAULT=2 instead of GRUB_DEFAULT=0
Normally the machine should boot on the last successfull OS's kernel & therefore forget 686 ?
That doesn't work !
You know i'm no dev...
Testing !
Ahahah
F.
Changing the default number form the grub list is not good idea; after installing a new one, the list will be changed.
Show me what you have installed:
sudo dpkg-query -l | grep linux-image
sudo dpkg-query -l | grep linux-headers
Thanks...

I was on another machine...I stick to this one till u'r reply !
Should i set GRUB_DEFAULTS back to 0 ?
F.
@lami07...Thank you for the work, sorry i'm no good editor
8)
Ru the commands in a terminal emulator:
sudo apt purge linux-image-5.11.6-sparky-686-pae:i386 linux-headers-5.11.6-sparky-686-pae:i386 linux-headers-sparky-686-pae:i386
sudo apt autoremove
after removing the i686 kernel back to grub 0.
OK, sounds simple enough for me !
Many thanks
F.
Morning @pavroo
So, i applyied changes, purge& reset grub but APTus update says system up to date & Synaptic says :
E: /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-UtOvbX/00-linux-libc-dev_5.11.6-1_i386.deb: tentative de remplacement de « /usr/share/doc/linux-libc-dev/changelog.Debian.gz », qui est différent d'autres instances du paquet linux-libc-dev:i386 (in French//sorry (u must know deepl))-update fails-
5.11.6-sparky-686-PAE still the first on boot list so i manually choose to boot on 5.10.23.
I'm going to wipe-out everything and fresh install the os, too bad, but i think it is,alas, the best thing to do.
At least that gave me oportunity to learn what not to do !
So i'll face the odds.
Thanks and have a nice day.
Fred.
