Upgraded to 2.7.13 -- W T F --

You can do that in the Synaptic Package Mangler.

Thanks Andy I'm not totally up to speed with all things Debian.....been a longtime Slackware user.

Would it be worth tecno trying ?

Ok after a bit of delving I was able to work out how to use git to get the 2.7.12 checked out. Got rip to build and simulate and then built the required debs as well. I was just wondering if the uspace packages thru synaptic are tied to a certain kernel version..maybe not or they might "fall apart" with the updated packages.
Like I said the "Debian Way" is kinda new to this fossil.

Well guys, I do believe that this is the end of the road for this PC.
I do not think it will cut whats incoming in future as regards OS and LCNC.

Need to find a somewhat future proof PC on my more or less non-existing budget as I am on pension for new toys. So I need 2 new PC's one for the lathe and another for the milling machine.

Suggestions on what to look at is much appreciated.
Mini-ITX or smaller and single power, minimum 3 USB ports, ETH + WiFi if possible

Have you tried "rolling back" to 2.7.12?

I wouldn't throw in the towel with the hardware yet.

No LAN for some time until I get new exchanged LAN parts.

I can dig the PC out and bring it up to my house and try to do this but that will put me on 2.7.12 for the future and I 'm not so sure I want to stay there == IF IT WORKS.

As PCW wrote he suspects the OS upgrade that happened to be the culprit

Well at least it'll get you operational until you can get the funds together....
I know the feeling of limited funds, I've been out for way too long with back problems. Part of the problem is employers are reluctant to give you a go.
