Linux Lite Kernel

[altman]

Took the plunge , no issues here , removed the other kernel & no problemo , love living on the edge , lol

[Coastie]

Kernel upgrades should only be carried out if you have bleeding edge hardware that is not currently supported in your default kernel. ...

Thanks. That satisfied my curiosity.  8)

... If it ain't broke...

I knew you would tell me that again. ;D ;D ;D

Can this be used on dual boot netbooks?

[valtam]

Can this be used on dual boot netbooks?

I don't see why not, at the end of the kernel install grub update is run so your entries should stay the same. Not a bad idea to keep grub-customizer handy just incase, and, you should only get the kernel if it offers something you need, like new hardware support etc.

Hello!

YMMV, but I've done the kernel upgrade on several dual-booters - one of then a netbook - with no issues. Of course, my previous warning not to remove the old kernel too quickly applies...

[altman]

little update , old kernel removed , no issues at all .

Hello!
No go on 3.19.0 for me - locks up at login screen.

Had to update my bcmwl-kernel-source to the latest version to install 3.15.0. I get errors on certain programs in the kernel boot sequence (for example, evince), but the programs seem to still work.

If I notice any more odd behaviors AT ALL, I will also be rolling back to 3.13.24. Just posted all this to illustrate Jerry's point as to WHY it isn't always best to upgrade kernels...

I also tried 3.19.0 on a Celeron N2807 ~ Bay Trail based mini pc.
I wanted to see if it fixed a WiFi issue, no joy on the WiFi.
and it also introduced video tearing issues again, like 3.15.

So dropped back to 3.13.0-24 and all is back to as it was.

3.19 Linux Lite kernel is now available for 32 & 64bit machines.

Open a terminal and do:

Code:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-headers-linuxlite-3.19.0 linux-image-linuxlite-3.19.0 -y

Ignore any errors in the terminal.

On a Lenovo T430:
( will mostly cause issues with display driver/free intel/  and power management - /sreensaver - display sleep and so on/  and shutdown process sometimes goes to sleap instead)

On a Dell XT2 Touchscreen Laptop. Rebooted OK. Just installed not totally tested yet.

install error:

I am not worried/sweating the failed module build. I don't use virtual box anymore anyways.
Any testing I do on external drive media like usb or sd. Just info for the thread is all I am posting.

It booted. So past the 1st hurdle.
