Hello,

I would like to confirm the successfully running Debian testing 
'stretch' on Lenovo Thinkpad Carbon X1 4th generation:

TYPE 20FC-0038PB production 16/07

1) jessie wifi doesn't work because lack of drivers for Intel® Dual Band 
Wireless-AC 8260

which is only available in >4.1 linux kernel. So I have to upgrade my 
installation from jessie to testing

2) after adding firmware 
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/_media/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi-8000-ucode-25.30.13.0.tgz

to /lib/firmware wifi works correctly

3) audio and video works

4) suspend/resume works

5) gnome desktop works

6) usb 3.0 works

7) keyboard/touchpad works


Greets to all Debian users,

Karol

FWIW, newer kernels are available in jessie-backports; you don't need to
upgrade the whole thing just for that.

As of now, only 4.7, which has been getting a bad write-up on this list over 
the last few days.  4.4 doesn't seem to be there any more.

But 4.6 is.

linux-image-4.6.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 - Linux 4.6 for 64-bit PCs

Many people are successfully using the 4.7 kernel, too.  It all depends
on which of the kernel features you actually need for your machine and
your programs.

Dunno what to tell you.  Maybe it's because I have the package installed?
I don't know why that would affect apt-cache search/show.

You have kernel 4.6 installed. With "apt-cache policy" you can see where
package versions can be installed from.

    apt-cache policy '^linux-image-4\.'

For kernel 4.6 you'll only this as the "source":

    100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Only 4.7.  The others appear not to be available any more.

Older backports are available at http://snapshot.debian.org/.

Yes, sorry.  I meant not at Jessie Backports.  There are lots of ways of 
acquiring them.

Yes - there only ever appears to be one version at a time. And I'm a bit
less confident in using them than I was a few days ago, since the "Some
function keys not working on a ThinkPad" thread.
