Download it at Sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/project/platformdownload.php?group_id=199755

Getting KernelCheck: Experimental

First off, you'll need Bazaar (bzr). Then:

1. Download the KernelCheck source from LaunchPad:
   $ bzr branch lp:~team-kcheck/kernelcheck/experimental


2. Enter the directory
   $ cd experimental
   
   
3. Install KernelCheck (as root - su)
   $ python setup.py install
   
   
4. Use it! (once again, as root)
   $ kernelcheck
   

* The versions in this branch are not necessarily tested and may not work at times.

nVidia Driver support status

Presently, the nVidia driver support in KernelCheck Lumen is broken. This is because you can't actually run the nVidia install package with X running. In order to install the latest nVidia drivers using the nVidia install package, you must do it in "runlevel 3" (shell without X running).

If you are currently using nVidia drivers with your current kernel, it is recommended that you select the option "Reconfigure the X Server" in KernelCheck. This will force X to load a fail safe driver (usually the "nv" driver). Doing this will make sure X will load after you reboot (it will crash otherwise).

After you have rebooted and X has loaded, you should be able to install the current stable nvidia drivers using the "Hardware Drivers" applet in Gnome (System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers).
