Kernel Update
- Vous devez vous identifier ou créer un compte pour écrire des commentaires
If I use the instructions in the Documents area to update my kernel, is that update for a newer libre-linux kernel, devoid of all proprietary code? I performed the update and am at the following kernel version.
6.8.0-49-generic #49~22.04.1+11.0trisquel32 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Nov 20 21:50: x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
That's the latest kernel Trisquel ships for Aramo (11.0.1), so you got it right \o/!
If you are looking for Linux-libre, it requires to add an external repo, and follow the instructions they have setup for it.
Maybe you can read more about it here: https://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/freesh.en.html
Cheers!
Thank you!
Hi, I've just installed Trisquel 11.0.1 and updated it and my uname -a output is:
Linux gnu-linux 5.15.0-130-generic #140+11.0trisquel30 SMP Fri Dec 20 10:01:59 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I that correct?
That is indeed the latest update of the default kernel for Trisquel 11. It has the security fixes you want. If you want a 6.8 version of the kernel, for a (better) support more recent hardware, you can install the package named linux-image-generic-hwe-11.0. For the latest version, see https://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/freesh

Actually, it seems like the hwe-11.0 kernel is not only useful for newer hardware but in my case installing it fixed a bug where boot times would be very long due to a black screen appearing for a long time, updating to the hwe-11.0 kernel fixed this bug despite the fact that my computer is a 2009 model rather than something very recent that would require a newer kernel. So hwe-11.0 can sometimes help even in cases where the hardware is relatively old.
I am a translator!
A few months ago, the kernel provided with linux-generic-hwe-11.0 did not boot on my somehow recent laptop, while the default aramo kernel worked fine, and the linux-libre kernel from freesh repository worked fine (and with faster graphics unlike the default aramo kernel, which still works fine).
So it is good there is so much choice :)
