Kernel upgraded to 4.6.0
Recently Linux released the new 4.6 kernel as stable build, this kernel introduces some major performance enhancements for certain systems.
I recently patched and compiled this kernel and you can now install it on your system (if you want).
to make installations easier I've setup a repository (Genfury provides free public repositories for various systems including APT). so what do you need to do to get my new kernel installed ?
Follow the following steps :
1. open a terminal
2. enter the command : sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
3. enter your root password (that's the Administrator for the Windows converts)
4. in the text editor go to the bottom and add the following 2 lines :
Code:
#CloudyWizzard Realtime Kernels
deb [trusted=yes] https://repo.fury.io/cloudywizzard/ /
5. save and close the text editor
6. enter the command : sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-headers-4.6.0-rt1tickless && sudo apt-get install linux-image-4.6.0-rt1tickless
7. when asked enter the root password, but it should not be needed.
8. If you get no error messages the new Kernel is installed and you can reboot the system to start using it.
9. if you want to check the current kernel you are using, you can do this by opening a terminal and typing : "uname -a" and it should reply with something like this :
Linux Debian-Mobile 4.6.0-rt1tickless #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Sun Jun 5 18:21:37 CEST 2016 x86_64 GNU/Linux
