Can i direct upgrade from 3.11.0-20-lowlatency to 3.15 ?
ReplyDeleteYes.
DeleteBut, generally, people prefer upgrading to a stable version of linux kernel. Currently, latest stable version is 3.14.3, so you can think upgrading to 3.14.3 and you are advised to do so.
Of course you can upgrade to 3.15.x, but ON YOUR OWN RISK.
i have the latest NVIDIA beta drivers 337.19 installed on LM16 with cinnamon they work great on 3.14.3 but not on any of the 3.15 releases I see others have gotten them to work and they appear to compile/load when upgrading/installing kernel 3.15 rcx the only error they throw is related to bbsswitch which is an optional package anyway any ideas as to why they aren't working?
