Re: Linux Lite Kernel - Valtam - 08-19-2014
Thank you rokytnji, no problems I take it?
Re: Linux Lite Kernel - rokytnji - 08-19-2014
One little thing but I'll be damned if I know what causes it.
I had a 2gig plus soldered in is a 1 gig ram stick for a total of 3gigs.
My inxi ram readout, conky readout, and top show 875MB of ram.
So to be thorough I yanked out the 2 gig stick and re-inserted the 1 gig stick. Just to test.

Re: Linux Lite Kernel - rokytnji - 08-19-2014
Yep, something got missed when compiling the kernel for ram recognition. Sorry I am the bearer of bad news. I will be uninstalling . 3.16 I guess. No sweat as I am a team member for AntiX and am used to testing new kernels for Anti.

Tested 3.15 kernel on a desktop (Intel i5-4670K Intel HD Graphics 4600) works great so I have pushed it to my laptop(Intel Core i5-560M Intel HD Graphics). So far my laptop boots faster and work better.
I pushed the 3.16 kernel to the desktop (Intel i5-4670K Intel HD Graphics 4600) fails to boot. (grub does not see a kernel) oh well just a test machine. I will reload and try again.
Re: Linux Lite Kernel - Valtam - 08-22-2014
Thank you for continuing to test folks
Re: Linux Lite Kernel - tompa - 08-22-2014
Lost my wifi when tested (Aspire 5738ZG), any ideas why?

Drivers get removed in the kernel also.

Ok, thanks!

Re: Linux Lite Kernel - Valtam - 10-07-2014
New 3.17 Linux Lite kernel is available for 32 & 64bit machines. As per usual, please read the warning below.
Look forward to your feedback
Open a terminal and do:
Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-linuxlite-3.17.0 linux-image-linuxlite-3.17.0 -yIgnore any errors in the terminal.
WARNING: This should NOT be tested on your everyday machine unless you know how to remove the kernel from a tty. If you have a spare pc or laptop lying around with ATI, nVidia or Intel graphics cards we really need your feedback and your results.

Quick Test and Feedback, Install went fine, Touchscreen accepts finger input without Pen (which I do not have anyways)
Sound, Wifi, touchpad and secondary trackpad inputs work OK. Graphics are OK. Here is pertinent info.

harry@harry-Latitude-XT2:~$I will be keeping this kernel on here for awhile since I see no show stopping issues like on previous kernel tests.
Looks like a winner Valtam. I will install and test on my Compaq CQ57 later to see if that hardware likes it also.
