hy i tries to update using HAM but it says conflicting package which is the previous kernel power 50, ain it supposed to update that to 51, or should i restore the nokia kernel then go for KP v 51, i need your help on this i dont want to screw my phone

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
 

@c4rl05

i just checked and there is no conflict with KP50 only with cleven and linux-backports-modules-power

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
 

This multiboot entry worked properly for me, without that line.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
 

I upgraded from power50 to power51(r1) using fapman. It removed cleven and the wiki drivers package like sifo says.

So far everything seems to be working properly. Thanks to pali and all contributors for their hard work!

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
 

i upgraded and nothing goes wrong for now thank you very much Pali and the whole KP team :)
and KP50 option still exist in my multiboot menu.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
 

currently installing...
thanks a LOT for all you guys' continuous effort! :)

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
 

For the record, the wifi injection drivers are now included in kernel-power-modules, so there's no longer a need for the maintainer of Cleven to have their package depend on backport-modules.

They can use the metapackage 'kernel-feature-packet-injection' as the dependency instead.
