No issues. Very happy. I haven’t been able to boot the 4.19 lts since I think .50? It’s a kernal bug on amd vega 56/64 desktop cards. :+1:

With this new lts-kernel i don’t see a reason for using kernel 5.5. But i have old hardware, so i guess it makes no difference.

#5

I am still in 4.19. How to install the new LTS?

#6

update your mirrorlist … and run sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg after updating…

I done all that. Still the same

So you are saying you had the old lts kenel 4.19 installed and then updated and still have 4.19?

#9

yes

#10

Odd. Well according to the arch wiki the latest LTS is 5.4.19-1. Sorry for being naive are you sure you are reading the output correctly?

#11

Sorry my mistake. I have now update my mirrors correctly and now the update came. All good. Sorry for the mess

Hi,
I would like to install the latest LTS kernel on my freshly installed EOS because of a problem with the webcam in my laptop.
‘sudo pacman -S linux-lts’ gives me linux-lts-5.4.28-1 to be installed. This fails however because of error 404.
Here is my /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist (I had already added worldwide to see if that would prevent 404)

# With:       reflector -c NO --protocol https --protocol http --age 8 --sort rate --number 10
# When:       2020-03-31 18:57:08 UTC

What can I do?

Did you try ensuring your system is up-to-date first? You may be getting 404s because you are trying to access a package that no longer exists.

sudo pacman -Syu linux-lts
