What kernel do you use
Re: What kernel do you use
4.8.7 in PCLOS. The occasional video tearing in fullscreen VLC stopped, apparently the Radeon driver was updated.

Re: What kernel do you use
Cool, Im using now 4.8.8 ubuntu's kernel, the issue I had with these new kernels with latency/graphics that made me stuck in kernel 4.7.6, seems to be resolved by migrating ext4 to btrfs, Now i can enjoy last kernels and make snapshots,

@bester69 -- make sure that you use the backported version of btrfs-tools (or btrfs-progs as it is now known) if you're running that filesystem on your FrankenDebian.

Re: What kernel do you use
bpo = backports = if you're not careful, you'll make a complete mess of your install. I used to 'play' with them, can't be bothered anymore, unless it's absolutely necessary. The trick is to take only what you need, then disable it, because if you unilaterally update with them enabled all the time, some version and dependency conflicts may arise, then it becomes Hell to fix it.bester69 wrote:what do you mean with bpo's?
Edit: Oops, just realized you know what backports are, sorry. I think he meant the bpo version is superior to the 'stable' version. I'll shut my mouth now.

Re: What kernel do you use
I use 3.16 on both 32 bit single core, and 64b C2Q systems. With an ancient 4350 ATI Radeon card.
I would really like to know what * advantages* a newer kernel could provide on an older system.
As the system aint broke, really trying to understand reasons to fix it....

Re: What kernel do you use
I agree. I run Debian stable on my computers, with the exception of one with Windows 10 (for when I have to use Windows), and this notebook computer with which I am checking out Fedora. Fedora seems to keep the kernel much more current when compared to Debian stable. But, I don't see the advantage. At least not with this computer (Asus K55A). It runs Debian just fine, it runs Fedora just fine. It is fun to try other operating systems occasionally.millpond wrote:[...]

Just got this hot off the OBS repo build, no problems so far. I think they're still trying to improve power management for SkyLake machines, which is why I'm trying newer kernels.

Re: What kernel do you use
Im very very happy with Ubuntu's kernel 4.8.8 and btrfs filesystem, I've been testing it for 3 weeks or so and my computer works better than ever, so i think i will not update kernel in long time.

Re: What kernel do you use
4.7.0-1-amd64 on stretch
The installation gave me 4.8.0-1, but it reported problems with Radeon and iwlwifi. These didn't seem to matter: no performance hit, but errors and warnings make me nervous.
Happy now!

Re: What kernel do you use
Yet another 4.8.x update, currently at 4.8.9, seems to be working fine. I did notice multiple simultaneous SSD/HDD I/O operations are greatly improved over older kernel branches, now simultaneous operations requests are more or less performed equally, not so much with older kernel branches. This is a very welcomed improvement.

Not much beside better wi-fi which is some what unstable right now, at least I hope wi-fi become more stable.

I doubt it. Wifi stability is a function of a lot of variables including hardware in your machine and in router/modems.Jimmyfd wrote:Not much beside better wi-fi which is some what unstable right now, at least I hope wi-fi become more stable.
there are several threads on that in this forum that might be worth your time to explore.

Re: What kernel do you use
I have an older radeon board, r430, and restarting Xserver through KDM would sometimes hang, and sometimes X would not start on a cold boot, with No Screen Found, No Device Found etc. (workaround - # service restart kdm). It seems much more stable using only backported kernel 4.6millpond wrote:I use 3.16 on both 32 bit single core, and 64b C2Q systems. With an ancient 4350 ATI Radeon card.

On this little Dell, the intel driver had some similar issues, so the xserver-xorg-video-intel-2016520-bpo with the 4.6 kernel has been a good fix.
I started using backports back on squeeze, it can let you maintain an older system without upgrading so often IMO. I still have a wheezy machine running the 3.16 backport that must be three years now?
