[SOLVED] Help with Power Kernel in PR 1.3
 

When I type that in I get
''E: could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 permission denied)
E: unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?''

Typing in xterminal ''sudo kernel-config *anything*'' gives a password prompt

(Edit: loading the backup file fixed the background problem)

Edit: Managed to reinstall it now, but it still asks for a password prompt

Hmmm... seems like rootsh is not loaded. I'd try installing/reinstalling that and then trying again.

The other approach, which is how I generally do things, is install OpenSSH Server and then connect in as root.

sudo gainroot
kernel-config load



then...type:

apt-get install --reinstall kernel-power kernel-power-flasher

Re: Help with Power Kernel in PR 1.3
 

Odd, rootsh was uninstalled during the upgrade.
It's reinstalling just fine now, thanks :)


It still asks for a password prompt despite reinstalling successfully though

Re: Help with Power Kernel in PR 1.3
 

this mostly happens when the app manager is running in the background. or if you connect to internet and the app manager checks for updates.

in case this happens again just open the app manager and close it again. apt-get should work then.

Re: Help with Power Kernel in PR 1.3
 

Apt-get worked, my current problem is that if I type in "sudo kernel-config *w/e*" it asks for a password

Re: Help with Power Kernel in PR 1.3
 

If you are already root via a previous "sudo gainroot" command (ie you have a "#" prompt versus a "$" prompt"), you don't need to prepend your commands with another sudo. Just type the command as-is.

Re: Help with Power Kernel in PR 1.3
 

That fixed the password issue, although now whenever I type a command it replies with:

/bin/sh: kernel-config: not found

Edit:

"sudo gainroot
sudo kernel-config show"

doesn't do anything, it disregards the line and goes to a new one

:(

Re: Help with Power Kernel in PR 1.3
 

Are you sure kernel-power-settings is installed?

You may check by:
Otherwise, you'd like to install it:

Re: Help with Power Kernel in PR 1.3
 

It's installed, I used both that and uname -r

Edit: even though it's installed I still found it in the app manager

Edit Reinstalling power-settings-kernel and rootsh and reebooting fixed all of the issues :D
Turns out some stuff was lost during the update and I didn't restore from the backup properly. I checked now and it turns out I was OC'd the entire time but I couldn't access the settings.

Anyways, thanks guys!
