What kernel do you use
Re: What kernel do you use
Update with a little foot-in-mouth, lol...
It seems the Radeon VCE error is supposedly harmless so I installed kernel 4.4.16 in PCLOS (Bill is still a 8==D for abandoning LTS kernels in his repo after he gets bored with them). Anyway, VCE stands for 'Video Coding Engine', and apparently my vanilla R7 250 vid card doesn't support VCE, so basically the kernel thinks my card supports it, attempts to load the driver for it, resulting in the error, which apparently is harmless and should be ignored. I ran a bunch of video tests just to make sure, every thing worked fine. Case closed Sherlock, lol.
Here's a list of kernels and their EOL dates, I try to go with the late as possible kernel EOL dates. I'm way past the bleeding edge tester phase, I'm OK with fairly recent but reliable.
Edit: The 4.4.x kernel has far more features (i.e. tons of different file systems and hardware support, etc) than the 3.x series, waaaaaaay more.

Re: What kernel do you use
I'm schtickin' with 3.16 in my Devuan install, it runs good and I'm tired of dealing with backports. PCLOS and my netinst despywared Ubuntu Xfce (it's NOT Xubuntu) 14.04.5 are keeping the 4.4 kernels, Canonical is supporting their 4.4 until 2021, I believe. The Ubuntu install is just a backup OS, in case PCLOS and/or Devuan go under.Alley Cat wrote:Sticking with what works. I hate instability!Code: Select all

Re: What kernel do you use
If you are replying to Bester, I'm pretty sure that he was referring to the kernel version, not the package/release. That is, that he was using the kernel that kernel.org gave the number 4.7 to and in that context testing is on 4.7.5 now (which is 4.7.0-1 therefore).Bulkley wrote:Stretch is now using 4.7.0-1.
But maybe I'm wrong. It is hard to tell, your guys posts are hard to follow. I don't even know if you are replying to some one or not and to whom exactly.

Re: What kernel do you use
Point releases are normal, and released on a standard schedule. There's always bugs, minor or otherwise, being found and fixed with every point release. Why did you feel the need to publicize this one over all the others?Jimmyfd wrote:It seems there were some error in kernel 4.8 final - The kernel team have released kernel 4.8.1 generic:

BTW--the Ubuntu kernel team is not the Debian kernel team, nor the main upstream kernel developers, though nothing keeps them from sharing personnel.

Re: What kernel do you use
I think differents versions's kernel behave differente in each computer, or, at least i felt that way,
in my case, i recentlly tried 4.7 bpo debian's kernel and 4.8 ubuntu's kernel, and i fell they performance worse than ubuntu's 4.7.6,
this last kernel --> 4.7.6 ubuntu's its working great in my computer, i fell it quicker and smoother, i tried two times others kernel (4.7bpo and 4. to see if it was placebo, and i feel they both dont performance as well as 4.7.6 ubuntu's in my laptop, so its kind of extrange, my final conclusion is that every kernel behave different in the same computer.
Now, im pretty happy with kernel's ubuntu 4.7.6
ill try 4.9 when it comes to see if it give me some gain, and i can keep moving on

https://bits.debian.org/2014/07/kernel- ... essie.htmlWill Linux 3.16 get long term support from upstream?
The Linux 3.16-stable branch will not be maintained as a longterm branch at kernel.org. However, the Ubuntu kernel team will continue to maintain that branch, following the same rules for acceptance and review, until around April 2016. Ben Hutchings is planning to continue maintenance from then until the end of regular support for 'jessie'.
Tried the rest... Now using the best!
Re: What kernel do you use
The question is, what gain do you get by using 3.16 kernel insteed of newers or latest kernel?
,At least it has to be with performance or drivers compatibilities i dont understand your point!.
Old kernels must be for old computers,

Re: What kernel do you use
Bester69, priorities differ. A kernel is much more than performance and driver compatibility. Many uses require extremely well tested kernels.bester69 wrote:The question is, what gain do you get by using 3.16 kernel insteed of newers or latest kernel?

Re: What kernel do you use
for regular users??,for critical factory envirovments purposes, or financials computers or maybe even just productions servers companies where there is too much in risk,i understand a driver may failt causing a drop down so you would go for the most tested kernel, but for desktop computer i dont see the point...., ive never seen nothing wrong with any kernel i tried in my computer.edbarx wrote:Bester69, priorities differ.

jejej, I recognised ancient/past is better, I always liked vintage, i prefer old movies 70's to 90's, i love ancient furnitures, and i miss ancient clothes and old people behavior and society, I think the best about humanity has gone behind in around 70's-80's but when its about technology i prefer new ones. , but hey, i also kind of miss those days when we have wait for loading a tape game in the Spectrum 48K.
