Re: [Trisquel-users] Which Kernel

Yes, it's possible, and most probably beneficial.

It's possible for anything newer/equivalent to Debian Squeeze (or Ubuntu  
Lucid).

I also like the improvements to BTRFS and XFS since I run them on my system.  
I also got an Nvida GTX 970 this past Christmas and the 3.19 kernel and  
latest Xorg seem to work much better than 3.13 and 3.16.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Which Kernel

Why? Unless your hardware needs it for something, there's no point in  
upgrading the kernel.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Which Kernel

[tegskywalker]

The default kernel is pretty old at this point, so you may want to try a  
later kernel via http://jxself.org/linux-libre/ once you get your system up  
and running.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Which Kernel

[dooleyn]

Can the latest (jxself) linux-libre kernels be used with T6? For example I'm  
running the latest generic kernel on T6, is it possible and beneficial for me  
to install (jxself's) v3.19 say?

in case you have doubts or need help. The guide says generic as those nice  
people already pointed out.

AFAIK, the default one in Trisquel 7 is lowlatency.

[Trisquel-users] Which Kernel

[amilopowers]

Hi There

This afternoon I will try to install Trisquel via NetInstall. I am pretty  
shure that I will have to choose manually the appropriate kernel.


Could somebody tell me how to determine the kernel I need? I have an Asus  
Zenbook UX31. http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/ASUS_ZENBOOK_UX31E/


Thank you for your help.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Which Kernel

[Sachin]

the default one is generic go for that

Going for generic can't hurt. (It's called 'generic' for a reason:)

[Trisquel-users] Which kernel?

[Lara Tris]

I am using with success the repository of new kernels[1]. I recall the
day when there were two kernels. One stable and one unstable. So now
there are 3.10, 3.13 (both generic and low latency), 3.14, 3.17 and a
3.18. Debian still runs 3.2 I think. Can someone clear the mess?

[Trisquel-users] which kernel version? (release notes?)

[postmodernhousewife]

I can't seem to find the release notes on the site. What kernel versions are  
the Trisquel editions using?

Re: [Trisquel-users] which kernel version? (release notes?)

[mono]

i'm not sure if this answers your question, but when i installed Trisquel 5.5  
it came with vmlinuz-3.0.0-17-generic in the boot directory which is by now  
automatically updated to vmlinuz-3.0.0-24-generic

Re: [Trisquel-users] which kernel version? (release notes?)

[Dave Hunt]

I'm running the Trisquel 6.0 Beta, dated 12-November.  It's using
3.2.0-31-generic

According to
uname -a

Re: [Trisquel-users] which kernel version? (release notes?)

[postmodernhousewife]

so is Trisquel using Debian Testing rather than Stable? The Debian Squeeze I  
have is running 2.6.32-5-686. There's not a huge difference but I found it  
interesting that I seemed to have less issues with Trisquel than with Debian  
- Debian doesn't identify my monitor and ABrowser seems more up to date.

Re: [Trisquel-users] which kernel version? (release notes?)

[Dave Hunt]

Trisquel is derived from Ubuntu, which is a bit like Debian Testing. 
We're using the Linux Libre kernel, not the Ubuntu or Debian, however. 
Abrowser is more up-to-date than iceweasel (in Wheezy, anyway).
