V.T. Eric Layton 6,699 Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 --- Another Kernel Upgrade --- 062020-1749hrs (EDT) All's well now... running 4.4.227 with a reinstalled Nvidia 390.32 drivers. This was a security update that was released about a month ago. I got 'er done today. I'm a little lax (read as lazy) about kernel upgrades. Gun shy a bit, maybe. All went smoothly, though. YAY!

V.T. Eric Layton 6,699 Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 Wonder what I'm going to do when Nvidia stops upgrading the drivers for my card. Link to post Share on other sites

V.T. Eric Layton 6,699 Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 Well, this was a fun thread to read through. I came back here to post a new message, though... Gotta' new kernel (security) upgrade in the downloads directory as I type. Going to be upgrading from my current 4.4.227 to 4.4.240. Wish me LUCK! Link to post Share on other sites
V.T. Eric Layton 6,699 Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share Posted October 23, 2020 OK, up and running with new kernel and Nvidia drivers. YAY! I like it when it just works. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

V.T. Eric Layton 6,699 Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 OK, it's that time again... Time for a Slackware kernel upgrade! Oh, boy! And... let's not forget about those updated Nvidia drivers, too. Anyway... I've downloaded all the necessaries and will take care of this chore sometime in the next few days or so. YAY! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
V.T. Eric Layton 6,699 Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 Finally got around to this... Kernel upgraded to 4.4.261; also, Nvidia drivers upgraded to 390.141. All's well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Kernel upgraded to 4.4.261; also, Nvidia drivers upgraded to 390.141. All's well. I developed excessive CPU cycle usage immediately after upgrading to kernel 4.4.261 recently. This has continued to be an issue for the last few days since the upgrade. I finally got tired of it and reverted to the previous (back-up) kernel 4.4.240. All's fine again now.

securitybreach 11,448 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Maybe the next update will fix that. Link to post Share on other sites
V.T. Eric Layton 6,699 Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 Yup... probably. This is a very rare thing in Slackware. I've only had kernel issues after an upgrade a couple times in 15 or so years, so... can't really complain. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
