Is 4.9-lts still buggy!? I've banned the kernel update for a while and I'm considering to update it... RW On Mar 1, 2017, at 5:26 PM, Joakim Hernberg <jhernberg@alchemy.lu> wrote:

I'm going to move to 4.9-lts branch pretty soon...

Dont forget to take care of FS#51455 since for this is why I cant go beyond LTS for now, and if you go to 4.9 I could get lock out or word, I cant update the kernel in a rolling release distro.

You could always build 4.4-lts yourself, or just disable updating of the kernel until above bug has been fixed.

The problem I'm having with 4.9 so far is that I'm running an Arch in a VirtualBox guest on Windows and after upgrading to 4.9, the VirtualBox guest additions couldn't compile (for both linux and linux-lts). On Thu, Mar 2, 2017 at 1:32 AM, Barry Fishman <barry@ecubist.org> wrote:

I've had problems with the usb-dvb subsystem (TV Cards) not working after the 4.9 update due to security changes. I'm not using the LTS kernel but instead stopped my regular kernel updates at 4.8.13-1 until it is fixed. (So far Debian Sid's 4.9.13 is still broken.)
