The NVIDIA graphics card driver supports Linux Kernel 3.12.

After Linux Kernel 3.12 came out, I had been eager to try. However, after installation, I was unable to start the graphical interface. The reason was that the NVIDIA graphics card of my small broken PC used its private driver and the build failed during installation.

The company's computers do not have private video card drivers, but they were installed more than a week ago.

The above is nonsense. The NVIDIA driver November 6 updated in 331.20 finally supports the 3.12 kernel. Of course, the 3.11 kernel should also be used.

After using 3.12, the most obvious feeling is that the computer is faster. Of course, it may also be my psychological role.

Linux Kernel 3.12 Released, Install it in Ubuntu & Linux Mint

Linus Torvalds finally announced Linux Kernel 3.12. Here're the new features and how to install/upgrade to Kernel 3.12 in Ubuntu 13.10, Ubuntu 12.04, Ubuntu 12.10 and Linux Mint.

Linus Torvalds wrote on the mailing list (read the announcement ):

I was vacillating whether to do an rc8 or just cut the final 3.12, but
since the biggest reason to *not* do a final release was not so much
the state of the code, as simply the fact that I’ll be traveling with
very bad internet connection next week, I didn’t really want to delay
the release. Sure, we had a number of driver reverts, and there was an
annoying auto-NUMA memory corruption fix series, but none of it was
really worth delaying 3.12 for.
But the fact that I’m going to be (effectively) off-line next week
means that I’m *not* opening the merge window for 3.13 yet …

What's New in Linux Kernel 3.12:

• The Radeon open-source kernel graphics driver has improved Dynamic Power Management, but it won't be until Linux 3.13 where Radeon DPM is enabled by default along with HDMI audio.
• A brand new DRM/KMS driver in the form of the Snapdragon MSM driver written by Rob Clark to go along with his reverse-engineered Freedreno driver for Qualcomm Snapdragon/Adreno graphics.
• Run-time GPU power management so NVIDIA Optimus systems can dynamically power on/off the secondary GPU.
• Experimental DRM render nodes support done by David Herrmann over the summer.
• AMD Berlin APU support as the first APU built upon AMD's Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA ).
• The EXT4 file-system now supports aggressive extent caching and better recovery capabilities.
• Random F2FS, XFS, and Btrfs file-system improvements. This kernel does deliver on disk improvements.
• ZRAM has been promoted out of the staging area of the kernel. ZRAM supports a compressed block device in RAM to avoid paging to disk and is mostly of benefit for systems with limited amounts of system memory.
• Various staging driver updates and sound driver work and other glorious work. Install/Upgrade Linux Kernel 3.12

  The DEBsLinux Kernel 3.12Has been made into kernel-ppa. Press Ctrl + Alt + T on keyboard to open terminal and follow the steps below to download and install them.

  1. Download DEBs for this kernel:

  For 64-bit Ubuntu, Linux Mint and alternatives run commands below one by one:

  wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12-saucy/linux-headers-3.12.0-031200-generic_3.12.0-031200.201311031935_amd64.debwget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12-saucy/linux-headers-3.12.0-031200_3.12.0-031200.201311031935_all.debwget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12-saucy/linux-image-3.12.0-031200-generic_3.12.0-031200.201311031935_amd64.deb

  2. For both 32-bit & 64-bit install the Kernel:

  sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-3.12.0-*.deb linux-image-3.12.0-*.deb

  Once installed, restart your computer and done.

  If for some reason the new kernel does not work properly, run command below to remove Linux Kernel 3.12:

  sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.12.0-* linux-headers-3.12.0-*
