Forced update from kernel 5.15 LTS to 6.1 LTS

[Root]

@marcioaleks

I don’t know how to add a Manjaro repo to EndeavourOS,

Don’t try

@marcioaleks

… and I also don’t know whether Arch (EOS) is compatible with Manjaro’s kernels.

I could be done but it makes no sense.

You could pull it from ALA (Arch Linux Archive) - then - to avoid it being upgraded - add the package(s) (kernel and headers) to your pacman.conf

• kernel → https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/linux-lts/linux-lts-5.15.94-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
• headers → https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/linux-lts-headers/linux-lts-headers-5.15.94-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Edit your /etc/pacman.conf

IgnorePkg   = linux-lts linux-lts-headers

FYI - the AUR packages have been setup:

linux-lts515
linux-lts515-docs
linux-lts515-headers

@ajgringo619, thanks to your tip, I installed the Xanmod LTS kernel from the Chaotic-AUR, on my secondary Arch partition (with XeroLinux). It is working perfectly and gave my 100 Megabytes back to me.

sudo pacman -S linux-xanmod-lts linux-xanmod-lts-headers

Thank you for the tip, man!

[ajgringo619]

Credit should go to the late, great @jonathon - he turned me on to Chaotic when I needed the 5.10 kernel after 5.15 went LTS.

UPDATE: sorry for the bad information. The repo that @jonathon mentioned was his own: https://gitlab.com/m2x.dev/kernel-lts/repository. With no other members, I don’t think it will get anymore updates.

TLDR
Has anyone tested linux-rt-lts? It is 5.15 series.

[marcioaleks]

I am using Kernel version 5.4 LTS from this repo you just mentioned. Isn’t this repo receiving updates?

[ajgringo619]

I’m using linux-lts-515-git; so far, so good, with consistent updates.

[ajgringo619]

What version is it on? Latest is 5.4.236-1.

Unfortunately not, if noone else took over the repo…:

Jonathon passed away

On Saturday 07 January 2023, Jonathon Fernyhough, or Jonathon as we in the Linux community knew him, unfortunately passed away. He played a very large role in the Linux community, especially for Arch, Manjaro and for most Arch distros including ours. Describing his contribution to the Linux community in a single word would be impossible, since he maintained almost 200 AUR packages and also helped out any Arch based distro out there, including helping numerous users out on forums. I will never…

Edit: Seems like severach (username in AUR) is now maintainer for kernel 5.4, last updated 14.03.2023

[marcioaleks]

Here, it shows 5.4.223-1 LTS.

[ajgringo619]

Ouch, that’s now 15 revisions behind.

[marcioaleks]

I felt so embarrassed when you showed me how out of date my kernel was, that I decided to update it. After seven and a half hours compiling and installing the kernel, here is the result: Kernel 5.4.238-1 LTS. I will try to update it once a month.

[joekamprad]

as @manuel mentioned… this one is inside repo so it will need no 7 hours of compiling:

[gladykov]

Are you already using https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Modprobed-db to shorten compilation time? May be useful in the futue

[marcioaleks]

Thank you for the tip, man. I didn’t know it and will try!

[marcioaleks]

Thank you so much, man! I just installed the RT-LTS kernel, and it works perfectly!
