As an alternative solution to disabling nvidia optimus from BIOS, another off-list exchange suggested to force disabling nouveau runtime power-managment. Create a file /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau.conf and add the following to it: options nouveau runpm=0 Then reboot. Works for me (kernel: linux

Boot fails after stretch upgrade to linux 4.9.0

2016-07-03 Thread Francesco Montanari
Hi, I am on Stretch and the default linphone version is unusable for me (I got reported bugs #743494). However Jessie's version works, so I pinned it in /etc/apt/preferences: Package: linphone* Pin: release n=jessie Pin-Priority: 1001 However, the version is quite old (e.g. lacks of ZRTP
