ReplyDeleteV 2.4.3 64bits Run perfectly on Ubuntu 15.10
ReplyDeleteInstalled. Thanks a lot !
ReplyDeleteThe wifi was not working (Intel 3165), so I upgraded the Linux kernel to 4.2.3 as per instructions above.I got:
ReplyDeleteLoading new oem-audio-hda-daily-0.201509251532~ubuntu14.04.1 DKMS files...
First Installation: checking all kernels...
Building only for 4.2.3-040203-generic
Building for architecture x86_64
Building initial module for 4.2.3-040203-generic
Error! The dkms.conf for this module includes a BUILD_EXCLUSIVE directive which
does not match this kernel/arch. This indicates that it should not be built.
Done.
I presume that this means that I need an updated dkms package. Where can I get it.
PS uname -r shows kernel is now 4.2.3-040203-generic and wifi working OK.
