[Solved] Can the LMDE 3 Kernel be upgraded to 4.15.0 for installation?

[Tw Free Thomas]

LMDE 3 does not automatically connect after a new computer,
but Linux Mint 19 Can be automatically connected,
so the installation is smooth,
I do not know if the problem is on the Intel i219V.

Hello,

Your problem is not clear to me.

What do you mean by "LMDE 3 does not automatically connect after a new computer" ?

[Tw Free Thomas]

Thank you for your help

The old computer (2012) motherboard is MSI H61M-P20
installed LM18 LM19 LMDE2 LMDE3 is very smooth.

The new computer (2019) motherboard is MSI B360M MORTAR TITANIUM
Only LM19 can be installed smoothly.
LM18 LMDE2 LMDE3 failed to connect due to installation
(X appears in the connection graphic), so the installation failed.

Hello, TW Free Thomas.

As the inxi report, section "Network" clearly shows that the ethernet connection is up, i.e. card detected, driver e1000e loaded, network state up, the question remains unanswered:
Which network connection fails?
The computer fails to connect to which target?

Code: Select all

           IF: eno1 state: up speed: 100 Mbps duplex: full mac: <filter>

Oops, this was the inxi report form the successful LM 19.1 installation. Which does not illustrate the problem.

Could you please post the same inxi report from the failing LMDE3 installation? - Which should illustrate the problem.

Regards,
Karl

to clarify, even more:
- are you referring to an Active Internet Connection,
that is used During the Actual Installation ?.
& that you do need that Internet Connection during the Actual Installation ?.

Remove the original HDD and SDD and replace it with the test HDD.

Hi, TW Free Thomas.

Thanks for the inxi report and the syslog extract.

So this is actually in both cases, Mint 19.1 inxi report and LMDE 3 inxi report, the same computer, only LMDE3 is on a different harddisk.

So the same ethernet interface card is recognized by LM 19.1 correctly as

Code: Select all

           IF: eno1 state: up speed: 100 Mbps duplex: full mac: <filter>

But LMDE 3 seems not to recognize it and does not load any driver software and the card is dead as a result:

Hi, Karl
Thank you for your help

When you go to https://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/E1000E.html
You can see the code of Intel Device 15bc.
Because MSI B360M MORTAR TITANIUM is new motherboard may need Kernel 4.15. above.
Just installed LMDE 3 and Linux Mint 18.3 failed to connect.
I found that it is lower than Kernel 4.15, The probability of failure is very high.
The following is the version and use of Kernel
Linux Mint 19.1 Kernel 4.15.0-43-generic x86_64
Linux Mint 18.3 Kernel 4.10
LMDE3 Kernel 4.9.0-8-amd64 x86_64
Linux Mint 18 kernel 4.4
My idea is that the old Kernel can't support the new motherboard.
So you can explain the live situation.
The old computer (2012) motherboard is MSI H61M-P20
Installed LM18 LM19 LMDE2 LMDE3 is very smooth.

The new computer (2019) motherboard is MSI B360M MORTAR TITANIUM
Only LM19 can be installed smoothly.
LM18 LMDE2 LMDE3 failed to connect due to installation
(X appears in the connection graphic), so the installation failed.

So as far as you say, LMDE 3 doesn't seem to recognize it and
doesn't load any driver software, so it's stuck.

Thank you very much for your help.

[Tw Free Thomas]

Because Linux mint only has LM 19 its Kernel 4.15.0,
Can be automatically connected, so the installation is smooth,
so look for three installation tests,
MANJARO (Kernel: 4.19.0)
MX Linux (Kernel: 4.19.0)
Zorin 12 (Kernel: 4.15.0)
Because these three are Kernel 4.15.0 (inclusive) or above,
Can be automatically connected, so the installation is smooth.
LM19 and LMDE3, because they are free to use
Other operating systems can't do it, I still like it most.
LM19 and LMDE3, so LMDE3 (Kernel: 4.9.0)
After lifting, it should be the same as LM 19,
and the speed is faster than LM 19.

The test yields inxi -Fxz as follows

[zorzi]

Well, it's still possible in some cases to upgrade LMDE3 to a newer kernel (4.19) by activating stretch-backports.

You had no internet connection at all on LMDE3 (wifi, ethernet) ?

[Tw Free Thomas]

Hi zorzi
I most hope that LMDE is better in Kernel and performance than LM.
You don't have to rely on Ubuntu in the future.
