Apr 26 08:51:45 <luc4> Hello! Anyone who knows if there is a quick and safe way to switch to an older kernel in Ubuntu for the Raspberry Pi?
Apr 26 09:03:30 <Maik> luc4: i thought your questions alredy had been answered in #raspberrypi
Apr 26 09:05:16 <luc4> Maik: the answer was “try to configure it”. It seemed a bit generic as a solution.
Apr 26 09:05:46 <luc4> Maik: also, it was pretty clear that no one knew the topic precisely.
Apr 26 09:08:34 <Maik> luc4: there's not much activity here, you can try it later again and ask waveform
Apr 26 09:08:50 <Maik> or ask on askubuntu.com or the forums
Apr 26 09:09:03 <luc4> Maik: no problem, I’ll try later, thank you
Apr 26 09:09:16 <Maik> yw
Apr 26 09:09:18 <luc4> Maik: I already asked on askubuntu.com, no answer yet
Apr 26 09:11:02 <Maik> just be a little more patient, if someone knows the answer they will reply. It takes a while before you get an answer just like on IRC and the forums.
Apr 26 09:11:23 <Maik> people aren't 24/7 at their computer ;)
Apr 26 09:11:55 <luc4> Maik: I’m not expecting answers in 10 seconds. I just leave the question here and I’ll wait for the next hours.
Apr 26 09:12:11 <Maik> all good :)
Apr 26 09:12:28 <Maik> good luck, i got to go now
Apr 26 09:12:36 <luc4> Maik: thanks! bye!
Apr 26 09:12:43 <Maik> o/
Apr 26 10:30:48 <waveform> luc4, if you've still got the older kernel installed you can force flash-kernel to use the older version with something like "sudo flash-kernel --force 5.11.0-1005-raspi"
Apr 26 10:31:38 <luc4> waveform: hello, thank you. So can I install the kernel version I need and then "sudo flash-kernel --force 5.11.0-1005-raspi"?
Apr 26 10:31:54 <waveform> luc4, replacing the version with the appropriate version suffix, yes
Apr 26 10:32:11 <luc4> waveform: can I still have many versions installed?
Apr 26 10:32:28 <waveform> however be aware that the next time a kernel is installed flash-kernel *will* revert to using the latest one -- there's no way around that (currently, officialy) unfortunately
Apr 26 10:32:50 <luc4> waveform: yes, that is ok
Apr 26 10:32:50 <waveform> and yes - you can have as many version installed as you like, but flash-kernel will only copy one of those (and its dtbs, etc. etc.) to the boot partition
Apr 26 10:33:05 <waveform> it defaults to the latest, but you can (temporarily) force it to use the older one with that command line
Apr 26 10:33:55 <luc4> waveform: I’m looking for a usb bug, so it is sufficient that I do not update during my tests. Perfect for me. Thanks!
Apr 26 10:34:05 <waveform> no prob -- good luck!
Apr 26 13:34:28 <Maik> waveform: hi there. I tested my spare pi with 21.04 and all was fine on both Wayland and Xorg. No issues with effect etc. not working. :)
Apr 26 13:34:48 <waveform> Maik, good to hear!
Apr 26 13:34:51 <Maik> screen tearing was also gone
Apr 26 13:35:19 <Maik> it's great release imo and feels a lot snappier
Apr 26 13:35:55 <waveform> yup, I'm quite impressed with wayland - still got a few bits to iron out, but it bodes well for a switch in the next LTS
Apr 26 13:36:38 <Maik> yep
