Update Script and BT5 R1

[furt1maggr3d10r]

I run the (Sickness) backtrack update script daily.
how do I tell if I have BT5R1 from updating ?

I ran this and here are the results --
:~# cat /etc/issue
BackTrack 5 - Code Name Revolution 64 bit\n \l



I want to know if I have taken the R1 update or not?

\Cheers

Check the kernel version

[furt1maggr3d10r]

this is version
~# uname -r 2.6.38

I cant find reference so I still don't know if I took R1 or not ??

Cheers

the new kernel is 2.6.39.4
during the days of transition to the new kernel has this happened in MY BT5:
2.6.38>>> 2.6.38.8>>> 2.6.39.4 (it's R1) bye

root@bt:~# uname -a
Linux bt 2.6.39.4 #1 SMP Thu Aug 18 13:38:02 NZST 2011 i686 GNU/Linux

Check the kernel version

what is the kernel version of BT5 R1 ??

[melissabubble]

run apt-get dist-upgrade and that will get it!

Try to run "apt-get install linux-image-2.6.39.4" without quotes. It works for me but you must have grub installed. If you get an error about update-grub, that means you haven't install grub yet. Run the following commands to solve the error:

apt-get install grub
dpkg --configure linux-image-2.6.39.4
