Unknown Kernel, unable to uninstall

[stephan]

Hi,

Ive installed KernelCare from the Plesk Onyx 17 Extension Manager and I instantly got mails and installation errors saying:

> Unknown Kernel (Ubuntu 3.13.0-042stab120.20)

I then uninstalled the KernelCare plugin with the Plesk Extension Manager and even tho its removed from the Extension Manager, I keep getting the errors and about 60 error emails each hour.

When I run apt-get remove kernelcare I get this output:

root@srv:~# apt-get remove kernelcare

The following packages will be REMOVED:

Can you please help me uninstall KernelCare?

Thanks!

I solved it by removing the file

> kcare

in

> /ect/init.d/

, then rebooted the machine and running

> dpkg --force-all --purge kernelcare

This resulted in the successful removal of KernelCare:

root@srv:~# dpkg --force-all --purge kernelcare

The issue has been fixed in kernelcare-2.11-5 version we are preparing to release. Thanks for bringing our attention to this.

kernelcare cannot be used with proxmox lxc. There should be a check for lxc vms, otherwise you run into errors..

[apb]

It can be, but only on the host system, not inside containers

[apb]

Yeah I know, in my opinion there should be a message for something like that, e.g. "kernelcare cannot be used inside lxc containers."

ATM you just get a writable error message
