Let's talk about the LTS kernels

gsf Reading item 1.2 from https://kernelnewbies.org/LinuxChanges makes it sound like you need to reformat a partition with a particular flag to get this feature.

5.10 exhibits the same issues with suspend/resume as the 5.6 branch kernel on my EliteBook 2740p, but positive aspects regarding performance/responsiveness/connectivity are also the same.

So, mostly works, but random locks and can't suspend/resume/hibernate.

Likely upstream issue? Out of scope due to older hardware (1st gen i5-540m)?

5.10.1-161 works with suspend/resume and otherwise doesn't seem to be unstable under normal usage unlike 5.10.0 and 5.6.x!

Thanks so much!

Upgraded my 2 virtual systems (one Budgie, one KDE) using the unstable repo. Upgrade, reboot and login went fine. The initial reboot seemed to take longer than normal, but could have been due to workloads on the host ESXi system.

5.10.1 has already been released to address bugs due to the storage code: Phoronix

sothis6881 5.10.1 is now in the Unstable repo. 🙂
Thanks @DataDrake! (And @JoshStrobl, for 5.10.0 😛 )

sothis6881 Updated to new kernel 5.10.1.XX the system failed to boot to budgie desktop. Tried several times getting same problem had to boot in alternate kernel working fine. Is anybody else faced the similar issue? If fixed, can you explain the solution.

I find it hard to believe that 5.10.1 would magically work but not 5.10.0 seeing as 5.10.1 fixes two issues which were in regards to specific raid configurations and had nothing to do with suspend / resume.

Me as well, but I've just tested it multiple times. 🤷‍♂️

As of now I only needed to switch to the LTS kernel for a small bluetooth problem (posted in the support section). Other than that, I guess I will just keep it as a backup. Current is working fine for me since I guess two years by now. So thanks for all the effort!

gsf Yea but not valve's fsync 😀

With next update kernel will be updated systemd and networkmanager?

JoshStrobl

George No.

No issues so far and seems a little bit faster. Great work.

Flawless! Been waiting for this update forever, as I needed at least kernel 5.9 to be able to use my motherboard's ethernet directly instead of resorting to a USB adapter that severely limited my bandwidth (https://discuss.getsol.us/d/5261-ethernet-not-detected-even-on-live-usb). Great work as always, thank you 😄

dostana No issue booting on Virtualbox for me.

dostana

sothis6881 okay,

Locking topic. Issues should go to https://discuss.getsol.us/d/5973-booting-into-blackscreen-when-logging-in-to-budgie-on-latest-update
