Will 4.2 be upgradeable to 4.3 final :o or will clean install be required?
Never required, if you keep your installation up to date.
OK, thanks. Yes all my sparky installs are up to date 8)
I see 4.3 is out. on my notebook install installation is up to date, full system upgrade done, apt get finds no more packages to upgrade.
uname -mrs gives me kernel as : Linux 4.4.0-1 - amd64 x86_64 NOT 4.5.1
cat /etc/*-release gives me: ID Sparky, Release = 4, Codename=Tyche
Am I doing something wrong? ran system upgrade applet, ran apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade ....
Make sure you have 'linux-image-amd64' meta package installed.
If so, you will always get a kernel update as default.
apt-get install linux-image-amd64
linux-image-amd64 is already the newest version (4.5+72)
uname -msr
Linux 4.4.0-1-amd64 x86:64
this is physical intallation of 4.2 KDE on a dell
in VBox with a 4.2 LXQT on first dist-upgrade I got 4.5.1 kernel
Do:
sudo apt-get update
and show me:

Everything is fine, you have Linux kernel 4.5 installed.
Refresh grub list:
sudo update-grub
and reboot your machine, starting the system with the 4.5 kernel.

You have to reboot your machine and choose Linux kernel 4.5 if it doesn't launch the upper one from grub list.
OK. I think we may have a problem, I am triple booting this notebook: windows , sparky KDE and LXLE (ubuntu based), Windows on one HDD, both linuxes on other (dual hdd notebook by dell). Will have to investigate some more, Multiboot by Easy BCD
Just rebooted:
pablo@sparkynetb:~$ uname -mrs
Linux 4.4.0-1-amd64 x86_64
pablo@sparkynetb:~$
If you installed LXLE after Sparky, run LXLE and run:
sudo update-grub
Otherwise, if you are on Sparky now, you can run Synaptic, search 'grub' package, mark all 4 installed grub packages to re-install, then reinstall them.
Both operations will update/refresh grub correctly.
Hello,
my problem is when i install linux-image-amd64 then sudo update-grub, after reset machine my cpu on system is on 100 % and then rssyslog and systemd fill my disk. After uninstall linux-kernel 4.5 evry thing is ok.

OK, on my case update-grub from lxle did the job :)
Had forgotten that lxle was the last installed :-[
THANKS
:o Hi, saw arround there that kernerl 4.5.2 is out. Please, how to install? 8)
Enable Sparky 'unstable repos:
http://sparkylinux.org/wiki/doku.php/repository
and follow the post:
http://sparkylinux.org/linux-kernel-4-5-2/
Make sure that is home roasted Sparky's Linux kernel, not provided by Debian devs.
OK, done. Updated grub from LXLE ;) . Now, where can I find a "whats new" for this kernel?
Again: niceeee work! :)
Quotewhere can I find a "whats new" for this kernel?
