Kernel / sound issue: HP ENVY x360

Share the output of the following.
ls -l /var/lib/aurbuild/x86_64

You can probably just do the following.

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/aurbuild/x86_64/root
aur sync -c linux-mainline

This worked perfectly, thanks. It’s downloading now.

Is it necessary to uninstall linux-next after the installation of linux-mainline or is it enough just to generate the grub config again, after installing the new kernel?

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Sorry, I didn’t see this one. The installation is running now. Should I abort the download?

You can just ignore that if the other thing I said worked.

This builds the kernel and will create a package of it and add it to your localrepo, the build/compiling will take about 3 hours or so.
Then you will have to run the following to install it.
sudo pacman -Syu linux-mainline

Alright. So just installing linux-mainline with this command and generating the grub config again afterwards should do it, right? So it’s not necessary to uninstall linux-next.

Correct

Unfortunately, the installation failed and the linux-next kernel is still running. This probably has to do with all the dracut messages at the end of the installation: dracut module ‘
’ will not be installed, because command ‘
’ could not be found!

(4/4) Checking which packages need to be rebuilt
[atman@kali ~]$ 

If you mean those types of messages, that’s just standard output of dracut.

It looks like you installed an update for the lts kernel there.

If it’s still running, that means compiling is still going.

1 Like

Interesting. How could this happen?

No, compiling is finished. I meant that the linux-next-kernel is still the active one used by the OS.

Basically linux-next is running fine, so there is no real issue. However, linux-mainline was updated two days before and is already 6.8rc5, while linux-next is still rc4. And linux-mainline should, in priciple, be be the safer pick as well.

I’m not sure I’m following, but if you were running mainline and the built linux-next-git and the installed it using this.
sudo pacman -Syu linux-next
Then it will install that kernel and also update any packages, so if at that time there was an update for the lts kernel it will install that as well. I would just use linux-mainline if I were you and check every now and then if you audio devices work in the lts or default kernel, if it at one point works you will know when you can switch over to a kernel already in in the repos.

Alright, thanks. Using linux-mainline was the intension, but the installation didn’t work with

yay -S linux-mainline linux-mainline-headers

Would

sudo pacman -Syu linux-mainline

or

yay -Syu linux-mainline

be better or could it be worth a try from your point of view?

Share the output of the following.

It looks like linux-mainline is already installed. Does it show up in your Grub menu when you reboot?

Yes it is. It shows up in the Grub menu and starts without any issues as well. How can this be set as default?

6.8.0-rc5-1-mainline (64-bit)

Edit: Nevermind! Sound isn’t working with it. So linux-next is currently the way to go.

I don’t use grub, but there is a setting for it in /etc/default/grub but I can’t remember the name of the setting.
