@firenice03, bouncy!

Re: Linux Lite Kernel - Valtam - 07-25-2016

4.7 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-4.7.0 linux-image-linuxlite-4.7.0 -y

Ignore any errors in the terminal.
IMPORTANT: Only install this kernel if you need it or if you are adept at getting out of trouble from a TTY.

Awesome Jerry !! Smile

I'll try to run it on the Kangaroo in the next couple days... The mini has been stable on 4.4 but I may attempt after a systemback backup 8) 8)

Re: Linux Lite Kernel - firenice03 - 07-27-2016

Noticed on the Mini and this maybe just due to the hardware of this old system and not kernel 4.7..

When in Firefox I'm unable to scroll side to side (left to right)
Example.. code tags on the forum that contain a lot of info in the code box that require up/down and left/right scrolling.. Cannot click and drag side to side..

I rebooted and double checked still occurred.. If I boot back to kernel 4.4 the issue goes away.

Just putting this out there should folks install 4.7 on older stuff - something to look for before removing previous kernels...

I got the following output from my terminal when I attempted to install kernel 4.7 to "set-up (1)" in my signature. How to resolve this? Just want to check with you before going any further. As version 6 of the dependencies doesn't appear to be available (5.9 indicated) should I install a kernel earlier than 4.7. Which one would you recommend?

Code:

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.

Is there a specific reason why you need version 4.7 of the Linux kernel?

Thanks Jerry for replying so promptly. I have a problem with LL2.8 regularly hanging at boot-up and shutdown in "set-up 1" in sig. It's not a UEFI issue as it occurs if installed on a GTP disk (set to either UEFI or Legacy mode in settings) or on an MBR disk (Legacy only). I thought updating the kernel might help though to be quite frank am a bit clueless on this...
I should add that I'm using SSDs in my setup.

We provide a warning with every kernel release, this is to avoid situations like this. We advise not to try installing these kernels unless you know what you're doing. At this point I would stop, you also have the Google key error in your terminal output, but that's a separate issue.

Thanks Jerry, I'll follow your advice and leave upgrading to a new kernel version well alone for now.
Should I now run sudo apt-get autoremove to remove any packages of kernel 4.7 & dependencies that may have downloaded or installed?
The Lite Control Center indicates that Linux 3.13.0-93-generic is still the installed kernel.

You mention that there's a "google key error" in the terminal's output? What is this? I use DuckDuckGo as my search engine (instead of Google), so I've not agreed to Google's terms and conditions - I don't know if that has anything to do with a google key error?

Many thanks for your continued help & advice.

Cheers
Mike
