[qubes-users] Request for feedback: 4.9 Kernel
Hello, I just wanted to give some positive feedback on the kernel. I'm using a i7-6700K CPU and a AMD RX 480 GPU, and kernel-4.9.35-19 is the first kernel version which runs with my dedicated graphics card. This *should* have been the case starting with kernel 4.8, but until now it never did. Always had to switch default gpu to iGPU and cables from the graphics card to the mainboard connectors. Thanks for removing this mess with the new kernel :) Also I just did my usual stuff like checking emails etc. and it worked fine on my Skylake-S CPU with Z170 chipset. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Same as with the 4.8.12-12 That means quite a lot of hardware does not work or are not recognised by the kernel. This is on a very recent i5-7200U based ASUS B9440U laptop with its accompaining USB-C dock. Powermanagemet in general is sorely missing on laptop with Qubes. (batterylife is 3-4 hours instead of approx. 10, the monitor backlight never turns off despite the screensaver turning the screen black, the keyboard backlight does not work and the fan runs nearly all the time. > 4) General feedback on the 4.9 kernel. > Well I look forward to kernel 4.10 and 4.11 and hope to see them soon on Qubes. Othervise I will have to end my Qubes experiment on this laptop and install something else, in order to get actual work done.

Having just tried 4.9.35-19, this has the same problem as every other 4.x kernel on my HP Elitebook 2540p (Intel HD graphics), that is as soon as the Qubes boot screen comes up, the graphics are corrupted. It was possible to enter the encryption password however the machine rebooted itself very soon after. Again this is consistent with every other 4.x kernel, either it reboots before the password prompt, or soon after. Only once has it ever got to the point of trying to start X. Is there anything useful I can provide given that the machine doesn't have a docking port or a serial port? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

I have a 4th Generation Lenovo X1 Carbon (Skylake), and I've been running the 4.8.12-12 kernel from the unstable repo for many months now. I just recently upgraded to 4.9.35-19 and post upgrade resume from sleep(suspend) is no longer reliable. Resume was a huge issue when first setting up this laptop and I only had success with the 4.8.12-12 kernel (and also I had to completely disabled TPM in bios), but after that initial setup it's been rock solid. Post upgrade however, every 2nd or 3rd sleep it will fail to resume and I'm forced to hold the power button down.

[qubes-users] Request for feedback: 4.9 Kernel
People may not have noticed, but there is now a 4.9 kernel in current-testing (4.9.28 to be specific). If the release schedule holds, then that should be migrated to stable soon, however, before that happens, some feedback on that kernel would be useful before it gets pushed to the majority of users. Specifically, it'd be nice to know if: 1) Hardware that used to work with 4.4 or 4.8 no longer works with 4.9. 2) Hardware that didn't work with 4.4 or 4.8 still doesn't work. 3) If newer Intel platforms (i.e. Haswell or newer) works with this kernel (I took out the Intel ME driver and the newest machine I have access to is a Sandy Bridge machine; I have no issues, but I wonder if Haswell or newer is tied more strongly to the Intel ME such that it actually needs that driver in order t work properly). If there are Intel hardware issues with this kernel, then I'll re-enable the driver in my next Pull Request. 4) General feedback on the 4.9 kernel. 4.9.29 was just released today, so before I send in a Pull Request, let me know how 4.9.28 performs and if changes to the kernel config may need to be made. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
