Running kernel 3.4
Has anybody tried running 3.4 in Trisquel 5.0?
Best regards,
Rick C. Hodgin
I have not. However, if you wish to do so, I would recommend the use of this repository.
I used the pre-compiled binary from http://jxself.org/linux-libre/
I had to disable AppArmor to get MySQL to work again:
sudo aa-complain /etc/apparmor.d/*
This might not be the smartest thing to do if AppArmor is important to
you but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

You can also build the kernel from source. Here's my usual procedure.
If you don't have the build requirements:
sudo apt-get install build-essential ncurses5
-
wget http://www.linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/releases/LATEST-3.4.N/linux-libre-3.4-gnu.tar.xz
-
tar xf linux-libre-3.4-gnu.tar.xz
-
cd linux-3.4
-
make menuconfig
(to edit and save the kernel .config file)
-
INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 make deb-pkg
(this can take a few hours)
-
cd ..
-
sudo dpkg -i linux-*.deb
Great information! Thanks.

Can this step be sped up using the -j# option, such as this for a 6-core
CPU?

Yes, the -j option will be recognised.
Cheers!
I was able to get 3.4 up and running. It worked perfectly for
everything I tested, except for these items:
1) It still does not support ATI video cards (which was the only reason
I wanted to upgrade),
2) Blender 2.62 did not work, would launch and immediately close.
3) Xine would not work, would launch and immediately close.
