[RESPONDED] Install of OEM D kernel not possible

Emmerax · March 26, 2024, 12:07am

Hi there,

i wanted to run an update on the kernel, as I got promoted the message “A newer OEM D kernel is available than what is set in GRUB. Clock here to learn more.”

But, if I run this command, I get the following output:

$ latest_oem_kernel=$(ls /boot/vmlinuz-* | grep '6.5.0-10..-oem' | sort -V | tail -n1 | awk -F'/' '{print $NF}' | sed 's/vmlinuz-//') && sudo sed -i.bak '/^GRUB_DEFAULT=/c\GRUB_DEFAULT="Advanced options for Ubuntu>Ubuntu, with Linux '"$latest_oem_kernel"'"' /etc/default/grub && sudo update-grub && sudo apt install zenity && mkdir -p ~/.config/autostart && [ ! -f ~/.config/autostart/kernel_check.desktop ] && echo -e "[Desktop Entry]\nType=Application\nExec=bash -c \"latest_oem_kernel=\$(ls /boot/vmlinuz-* | grep '6.5.0-10..-oem' | sort -V | tail -n1 | awk -F'/' '{print \\\$NF}' | sed 's/vmlinuz-//') && current_grub_kernel=\$(grep '^GRUB_DEFAULT=' /etc/default/grub | sed -e 's/GRUB_DEFAULT=\\\"Advanced options for Ubuntu>Ubuntu, with Linux //g' -e 's/\\\"//g') && [ \\\"\\\${latest_oem_kernel}\\\" != \\\"\\\${current_grub_kernel}\\\" ] && zenity --text-info --html --width=300 --height=200 --title=\\\"Kernel Update Notification\\\" --filename=<(echo -e \\\"A newer OEM D kernel is available than what is set in GRUB. <a href='https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/linux-docs/blob/main/22.04-OEM-D.md'>Click here</a> to learn more.\\\")\"\nHidden=false\nNoDisplay=false\nX-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true\nName[en_US]=Kernel check\nName=Kernel check\nComment[en_US]=\nComment=" > ~/.config/autostart/kernel_check.desktop

Could you help me out?

I am having LUKS enabled during the setup, as I don’t want to get any personal data lost, if my laptop gets lost.

Hi @Emmerax,

This is for Ubuntu 22.04 fully updated, correct?
What is the output of uname -r and are you trying to come from OEM C to OEM D?

Emmerax · March 26, 2024, 12:55am

@Matt_Hartley
yes

6.5.0-1016-oem

I see the same thing, on my Framework 16. sudo apt update ; sudo apt list --upgradeable show no packages available for upgrades.

No idea how I missed this previously. Yes, this is where it’s hanging up I suspect.
LUKS on Ubuntu, setting the parameter will need to be done manually.

You’re on the latest - 6.5.0.1018 and it’s set correctly.

bz2 · March 29, 2024, 1:30am

Oh, huh. Any idea why the prompt window showed up saying there was a newer OEM kernel available, when I’m at the latest?
Edit: sorry to hijack the thread! Feel free to move to it’s own thread.

Emmerax · March 29, 2024, 6:58am

I am totally fine with it. I think as we have facing similar issues (even if you managed to be on latest, and I didn‘t manage it), I am totally fine that you used the thread as well. Might be helpful for any googler

@Matt_Hartley
Any reference, how I can do that?

Matt_Hartley · April 1, 2024, 7:02pm

@Loell_Framework Is this something you have experienced by chance? In case I need to set aside some cycles to repro this further.

Anita_Lewis · April 19, 2024, 9:47am

Did you get any resolution on the problem of the notification coming up when the latest kernel is running? I’ve had the problem for a couple of oem upgrades and wonder how to turn the notification off.

Emmerax · April 19, 2024, 10:14am

@Anita_Lewis
Unfortunatly not.

Emmerax · April 19, 2024, 10:15am

@Matt_Hartley
Could you help us here? At least we are being more and more people with the same issue.

bz2 · April 19, 2024, 12:04pm

@Anita_Lewis No, it still brings up the notification whenever I run the check script, even when I’m on the latest OEM kernel.

Anita_Lewis · April 20, 2024, 10:02am

Found it.

Kernel Check in autostart is on.

~/.config/autostart/kernel_check.desktop begins with:
Exec=bash -c "latest_oem_kernel=$(ls /boot/vmlinuz-* | grep ‘6.1.0-10…-oem’

My current kernel is 6.5.0-1020-oem so, that is the problem. Maybe there is an update on installing this bit. Otherwise, I’ll turn it off in autostart.

Matt_Hartley · April 29, 2024, 4:56pm

I have yet to be able to get the notification to pop up when installed and on 6.5.0-1020-oem - as it should be seen as the latest. I have tried countless clean installs on Ubuntu 22.04, updated it, never had it come up. If I change the grub parameters for testing to make sure it’s working, reboot, then it comes up as expected.
