With the release of Raspberry Pi 4, we’d like to move all Raspberry Pi models to support a single, unified kernel version. Linux 4.19 makes sense as it is used in Raspbian and is an LTS release.
The plan is to move to this new kernel version in July. As always, testing is needed. I don’t anticipate any significant regressions, but it should be noted that WiFi support for out of tree Realtek modules (i.e. RTL8192CU/EU/DU/8812AU) is now dropped for the time being.
I’d appreciate it if you could test this and provide feedback before we potentially release this as an update to other users. To test this update:
Add the following line: deb http://apt.osmc.tv stretch-devel main
Run the following commands to update: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && reboot
Your system should have have received the update.
Please see if the issue is resolved.
I also recommend you edit /etc/apt/sources.list again and remove the line that you added after updating. This will return you to the normal update channel.
Seems to be a small issue with audio. GUI sounds not playing on every click when keep audio device alive is off. On 4.14 audio wakes up after a couple of clicks then effectively keeps clicking even if keep alive is off.
Having ditched my Pi3 for my new Pi4, im experiencing quite a few issues with it (probably related to Raspbian buster and the fact its brand new so bound to be loads of bugs that need ironing out…mainly usb3 issues and problems with the osmc DVB-T stick)
So In the next few days I’ll be returning to my Pi3 temporarily, I’ll install this kernel and report any issues here.
