Reboot Arch BTW
This is a small utility which shows the installed and running Linux kernel on ArchLinux. It is useful if one didn't notice that the kernel got updated and suddenly your USB drive won't mount because the needed kernel module can't get loaded.
To get the version of the installed kernel it uses pacman -Q linux
and to get
the version of the running kernel it uses uname -r
.
Install
You may just install it from the AUR:
- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/reboot-arch-btw for the latest release
- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/reboot-arch-btw-git for the latest master
