Bug#823156: linux-headers-4.5.0-0.bpo.1-all-amd64: breaks kwin (abort with fatal error) on Thinkpad T560
Package: linux-headers-4.5.0-0.bpo.1-all-amd64
Version: 4.5.1-1~bpo8+1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
Dear Maintainer,
after a fresh Netinstall of Debian Jessie (stable) I installed the backport
Kernel as much Hardware of Thinkpad T560 is not supported (mainly Sound and
WLAN as I noticed this far). It actually reaches the commandline but is unable
to start kwin. Whenever I try to start it with his kernel it aborts with fatal
error. Linux Mint KDE is actually able to use WLAN even within the Live Iso
Environment (although I don't like their closed source policy). Did not find
/var/log/boot nor /etc/init.d/bootlogd and /etc/init.d/bootlogs points Kernel
messages to /var/log/dmesg which is empty. /var is on a separate partition.
This is just to inform you. Thanks for your work, but I am afraid I have to
change Distro as it has to many issues on my platform. Maybe I'll try again in
half a year.
Oh and in my previous install from the same netinst iso I dist-upgraded to
testing which resulted in quite similar results of a broken system.
Thanks and Bye, Maria.
