Quote:What is an "out-of-tree module"?Modules are basically drivers.
Out of tree means that this is not part of the linux kernel.
This includes nvidia driver as it is proprietary aswell as the virtualbox module for running guests (vboxdrv).
Quote:Two of its examples listed, vitualbox & nvidia, presumably apply to me given my graphics & sound cards are Nvidia, & i actively use VirtualBox with LOTS of VMs...No problems for your soundcard or videocard they should run fine with the free drivers.
When it comes to VirtualBox you need the newest version from Oracle which usually is compatible with the latest stable kernel.
The version provided by the repository is mostly a little bit behind and might be not compatible.
Quote:oh, is this it? = Ukuu Kernel Upgrade UtilityNever heard of it.
I would not suggest using it.
What you actually just need to do is download all the deb packages of your screenshot that don't include lowlatency in their name.
Then you can install all those 3 packages with the dpkg commandline tool.
Example:
Code:
sudo dpkg -i /path/to/package1.deb /path/to/package2.deb /path/to/package3.debIt should then just install this kernel together with its header and automatically create a new grub entry for that new kernel which will be booted by default. I will also rebuild the virtualbox module (vboxdrv) automatically and make it available for this new kernel.
The older kernels will be made available in grub so if anything goes wrong you can just boot with an older kernel by choosing it in grub and remove the newer upstream vanilla kernel.
Its really not that complicated and with the option to boot with an older kernel you don't have to be to afraid trying it
