Liquorix kernel questions.

It says to install a script into /tmp, then switch to a TTY, etc. on the bottom. What the heck does that mean/do? I want my graphics to work properly again 🙁

Just do what it says. Ctrl-Alt-F1 puts you in terminal(TTY), and you'll have to enter your login credentials. Run the commands they give, and then use Ctrl-Alt-F7 to return to Gnome. You may have to reboot, I don't know. It wouldn't hurt in any case. If you do that, it's Ctrl-Alt-Del in terminal.

Hmm, those commands didn't work and neither did that little guide they posted. I guess my lack of experience with more advanced things like this is a bad thing. I guess I should have read that this specific kernel messes with ATI graphics. I deleted the Vanilla Kernels awhile ago, so I guess I'm screwed for now. Lol.

You can download/install other kernels, then pick the one you want at boot.

Yeah I'm actually not sure what exactly is needed to download a full kernel. I've never really done it on my own before (i've used basic updates to upgrade the vanilla one back then, and I've just been upgrading the liquorix one nonstop)

Go into Synaptic, do a search for "linux", then pick the full generic Linux kernel. Install it, then on reboot it should show up as an option in grub.

I installed it, but it doesn't show as an option in grub. Any other way I can just manually switch to it?

I'm not sure why it isn't showing up. You could try removing the Liquorix kernel, or you could try updating grub. To update grub, open the terminal, and type "sudo update-grub" without the quotes.
