useful guide!
ReplyDeletethanks much!
ReplyDeleteBroke my video and now I can't uninstall - packages not found.
ReplyDeleteThanks So Much !
ReplyDeleteMy PC Now Version is
3.14.1-031401-generic #201404141220 SMP Mon Apr 14 16:59:42 UTC 2014 i686
Same problem as Tony, broke my video, but cannot remove. Packages not found!! instructions on how to remove please.
ReplyDeleteSame problem and I removed the kernel using following command
ReplyDelete$sudo dpkg --remove linux-headers-3.14.1 linux-image-3.14.1
i have very serius problem when i transfer big files to whatever usb devices regardless the format (i have formatted it to ext4 , ntfs and fat32) but the transfer ratius is ridiculous it comes down to 2MB/S even less however when the files are small the speed is normal, i had tried a lot of things i found around, like disable legacy USB from bios, or modify the fstab to add the options flush and async because some people says it seens to ba a problem with the buffer I also think but still does not go.
ReplyDeleteNewer conputers have serious problems with 32 bit kernels. For example no hight speed for USB devices. See your dmesg or kernel.log to see the errors. Using 64 bit kernels I didn't see these problems.
ReplyDeleteIf you are using 32 bit it's time to move to 64 bit.
Looking for newests kernels because at Acer TM (Travelmate) B115-M I have problems with ACPI. The conputer boots only if grub.cfg has acpi=off
I saw at Debian forums that 3.14 64 bit solves it.
I got a "kernel panic" when rebooting after installing the new kernel :( (I tried this to solve a broke-video issue)
ReplyDeleteAbout my 16-Sept comment...
ReplyDeleteAcer TM (Travelmate) B115-M needs UEFI to boot/work/poweroff correctly. So, 64 bit architecture is needed. Running ok with the 14.04 LTS official kernels.
Now testing Toshiba NB500 (32 bit) with 3.14.1 kernel because RealTek wireless card is unstable:

The computer seems to work ok with 3.14.1 kernel.
