My kernel is 4.7 If you wonder why I have "Only" that kernel it is because I did a "stretch" dist upgrade (with aptitude) Then additionally installed KDE sid packages with that command. aptitude -s -R --visual-preview -t sid install $(aptitude search -F"%p; %v; %V; %d" -t sid '?and(?installed(?maintainer(debian-qt-kde)),?or(?version(5.7.1.2016),?version(4:16.04.3-3),?version(5.8.3-1),?version(4:4.8.7.dfsg-10)))'|cut -d\; -f1|tr '\n' ' ') I did that about 3 or 4 days ago, I might not be relevant anymore, but that's the idea. I did that after the observation of that page (at the considered time): https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=debian-qt-kde%40lists.debian.org It might be a bad idea, but that's what I did. My system is functional, save for the "big" glitch describe above. Another peculiarity: I stopped using powerdevil some 2 month ago because it was giving me troubles with my configuration: laptop with always closed lid and external monitor. In any other aspect my system is pretty standard. Thanks, Chris > > Thanks, > Chris
