Ah good, that is excellent news!

Could be possible that the performance was worst because of the kernel?

It's certainly looking that way, I would say.

We should really try a bisect to pinpoint the regression (if there is one) but there must have been hundreds of commits since the jessie kernel version.

when I apply sudo apt update and apt dist-upgrade , the kernel will not be update, right?

That depends on which kernel packages you have installed.

With the standard BunsenLabs kernel metapackage, the kernel will be kept up-to-date with the usual `apt update && apt uprade` routine.

Can we see the output of:

apt-cache policy linux-image-amd64

It's all thanks to you.

I uninstall that package when I install the new kernel, it was an error? 8.( 8.(

linux-image-amd64:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 3.16+63
  Version table:
     3.16+63 0
        500 http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ jessie/main i386 Packages

I think it's important to say that my system is 32 bits. I say this because the "amd64" part.

"linux-image-amd64" is a "meta-package", which will update as for normal packages. A dist-upgrade will update it to the latest Stable kernel, if you change your sources to Stretch.

"linux-image-3.16.0-4-586" will stay as it is and won't update, unless you manually install another kernel. A dist-upgrade won't upgrade it.

Anyway, that is my understanding

Head_on_a_Stick · 2017-07-12 21:24:17

^ +1

@emek: you should install the (confusingly-named) metapackage to keep your system up-to-date:

sudo apt install linux-image-amd64

emek · 2017-07-12 21:39:45

I understand now. Always I saw the number 64, I thought "that is not for me". I read about, but anyway I don't get that the name is just confused.

I'll install the package.

As my system is working good until now, I'll put solved in the tittle.

Thank a lot you guys!

Hi again,

I dont restart my system since I install the package, but when I did, the systems don't boot, The system just keep showing a line blinking, and nothing happens. I check the list of boot and this is what say:

Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64
Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (recovery mode)
Linux 3.16.0-4-586
Linux 3.16.0-4-585 (recovery mode)

If I chose the third, I can boot. I don't know if I installed the wrong package or I just have to set the third entry as default.
What can I do?

PS: I remove the "solve" part of the title so you can know I still have the problem

You will have to excuse my ignorance but I have never actually owned a 32-bit computer so I'm not sure about the specifics of kernel packaging for that architecture.

When I get a moment I will try a 32-bit QEMU system and attempt to offer better advice.

Okay, thanks you very much!

Head_on_a_Stick · 2017-07-23 18:37:38

OK, looks like you actually need to use:

sudo apt-get install linux-image-{686-pae,amd64-}

The https://packages.debian.org/jessie/linux-image-686-pae metapackage is what is installed in a stock Debian i386 system, apparently.

The last days I'm having troubles with my internet connection because my ISP. When i got fixed that, I'll apply your recommendation.

Thanks!

Finally I got back my internet connection, and I try your solution @Head_on_a_Stick and it work!

Thanks you
