so i tried Ukuu but it didnt work the installation always failed i figured it might be related to deepin being debian based and Ukuu is ubuntu oriented. either way is it possible to install linux kernel 4.18.6 generic?, and how custom is the deepin kernel anyways?

well Linux Kernel 4.19 LTS was released yesterday, is it possible for deepin 15.8 to come with this new kernel? also, even if one updates the kernel is very easy to just go start with a previous version and uninstall the new kernel, why would you prevent us from updating the kernel?.

You may also directly download kernel packages and install them manually: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.18.6/
But remember that these kernels are NOT LTS ones (as kernel 4.4) , though they are in mainline. Unless there is urgent need (e.g. data security issues), I preferred to use old yet LTS kernels.

You have two options: Compiling it yourself and installing it, or just installing it with a pre-compiled kernel.

I recommend the latter to save time and storage, proceed to download the kernel you may want from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/

Let's say you want to install the Kernel 4.18.16, but this applies for any kernel version you want, so you head to the folder that corresponds to the version you want, and download the files for the architecture you need, most of the times is amd64, and this is your case too, make sure to download the following 4 files:

Linux-headers [version number] [then the version number again].deb
Linux-headers [version number] - generic [then the version number again].deb
Linux-image-unsigned [version number] - generic [then the version number again].deb
Linux-modules [version number] - generic [then the version number again].deb
Once you have those files you're ready to install them, you could use the graphic method or the console method, they both work.

Install them in the following order (and don't be afraid of messing this up, even if you opened them in different order the package won't install because of missing dependencies)

Linux-headers [version number] [then the version number again].deb
Linux-headers [version number] - generic [then the version number again].deb
Linux-modules [version number] - generic [then the version number again].deb
Linux-image-unsigned [version number] - generic [then the version number again].deb

And that's it, you only have to reboot now.

After rebooting open the terminal and type

uname -a

The output will be your current kernel and it should be the one you just installed.

I was reading about the errors you wrote about, and I think you should update your BIOS; according to DELL, your model has an update from October 22nd, you could give it a try.

So I just successfully installed 5.0 and everything went great-- except my display was GINORMOUS..... both of my GTX 1080s were both displaying UNCLAIMED in the lshw -c video command... my guess is there is a compatibility issue with nvidia of some sort.

Maybe onboard graphics would work ok, but Im not nixing my 1080s...

using driver 415.25 -- kernel 4.20 issue was supposedly fixed in 415.22, but device is still unclaimed

everything else seems ok, but I did not get to explore much further as reverting to a 1080 res on a 4k TV is not a good exerience.

**EDIT**

On my laptop with onboard graphics (amd/radeon) I just successfully upgraded to 5.0.0-rc1 from https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D. You need the headers-all, headers-generic, modules-generic, image-generic --> install in this order. Make sure you select the right system architecture -- terminal -> arch will tell you the architecture you need.

  • This version did not work with my GTX 1080 gpus -- they register as UNCLAIMED, have not found a resolution
  • This laptop is a lower end 2011 model and was a bit slow on the 4.15 kernel, but not nearly as slow as with Ubuntu or Windows. It is running noticeably faster on 5.0 kernel. Its actually worthwhile to use this laptop again. If I wanted to give it as a gift, I actually wouldnt feel bad doing so now.


On my desktop with GTX 1080s on 415.25 open source nvidia driver I was able to upgrade to 4.20 successfully. I got the .deb files from the same repo as listed above. The 5.0.0-rc1 upgrade would successfully install and load, but the display adapters would be UNCLAIMED-- the resolution would be stuck at 1024x800 (i think). Not cool. But everything else seemd to work. And 4.20 is functioning very well.
