[qubes-users] Re: Please help test kernel 5.4 in anticipation of Qubes 4.0.4-rc2
I installed the updates from security-testing to fix QSB-063. I was still running kernel 4.19.x, but instead of the fixed 4.19 version, the fixed 5.4 version was installed. It has been running a few days now and I have not noticed any issues.(Sandy Bridge i5 notebook.)
