I have no experience with Systemback :/ But it does not look very good. I can't select a target partition when wanting to create a live image.

Hi,
I have used it with external USB Sticks & Drives in 2.6
You need to select the target in top right box "Storage Directory" usually found under /media/username/
I keep a usb stick available for each PC, to any accidental overwrites.

I'm trialling a new kernel build method. It basically enables all modules/drivers in the kernel, thus providing maximum new hardware support. This saves a ton of time going through menuconfig and selecting all unchecked boxes. Only downside is it means much larger kernel. I'd love for a few game souls to try it out and provide feedback. To trial this you should already be comfortable with the cli.

64bit only, and only on real hardware (no VM's)

and

Code:

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

reboot.

The above files will be deleted after a few days.

Thank you

NB: This should NOT be tested on your everyday machine unless you know how to remove the kernel from a tty

Oops I did read all post missed the above part, I have make a problem myself.

You'll have to use the stock kernel that ships with LL if you want to use VirtualBox.

Am now using 4.4.0-linuxlite kernel on 2.8 and all seems fine for the moment ..

Thanks for your hard work and talent

You're welcome

4.5 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-4.5.0 linux-image-linuxlite-4.5.0 -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.

Look forward to your feedback. Thank you.

With backups & systemback ISO's in hand, bravely I went. I installed the 4.5 kernel on a newer computer:
Pentium® Dual-Core CPU E6600 @ 3.06GHz
Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics
Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family High Definition Audio
Linux Lite 2.8 x32
  I'd have to say on this computer that the LinuxLite specific kernel is a hit for me. No graphic streaking, no problems of any kind to report. Going to try it on an older computer (a HP) & an older computer that seems to have trouble with newer kernels (a Lenovo). I previously had the 3.19 generic kernel, & it was fine. On the install of the 4.5 kernel I did get the error messages you mentioned. But on a system reboot the new kernel shows & is working well. Very happy about this with Linux Lite 3.0 just around the corner.

I would stay away from putting the newer kernel on old hardware unless it is absolutely necessary. Good to hear it's working well on your E6600 machine
