Old laptop succes on new kernel - trinidad - 01-14-2018
Old Acer laptop showed up at my shop yesterday with customer who wanted to replace Windows 7 crashed from Windows Meltdown patch before MS pulled it (Celeron 2.2G CPU). I decided to run it through the progression of installing 3.4 first to get the old kernel. Updated 3.4 to the new kernel .110 no problem. Upgraded to 3.6, installed my plymouth progress bar theme, installed Audacity from Lite software, set Firefox theme and security, added Startpage home, checked for mem-leak after leaving connected all night ---- everything good. Not a single issue. Will upload to hardware DB in a few minutes. This particular processor was known to have had pipe problems with underruns in Linux depending on the OEM memory addressing. No more. Good work Ubu.
