HowTo: Compile/Install Linux Kernel 3.19 On Debian Jessie

Would anyone be willing to share their knowledge on: How to compile and install Linux Kernel 3.19 in Debian jessie?

So the new kernel is out and I've been patiently waiting for its release for the support of Microsoft Surface peripherals. I recently switched over to Debian because I'm not fond of some of the moves Ubuntu is making. So thats the short story, and fundamentally unimportant to the question.

Considering my lack of experience with Linux, or should I say others extensive experience, please be as detailed as you care to be. I did end up finding instructions containing 4 or so lines with 3 or so words in each line, buried in some website, but the information wasn't sufficient for me to follow. Needless to say those instructions were for someone who didn't need the specific terminal commands which I certainly do.

Thank You.

Topic - What Is Linux Kernel And How To Upgrade To Linux Stable Kernel 3.18.1

What Is Linux Kernel?

Those who don't know what is the Linux Kernel they should know it because Linux kernel is the essential part of any Linux operating system. It is responsible for resource allocation, low-level hardware interfaces, security, simple communications, basic file system management, and more. Written from scratch by Linus Torvalds (with help from various developers), Linux is a clone of the UNIX operating system. It is geared towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliances.

Latest Stable Linux Kernel Version 3.18.1
It's been a quiet week, and the patch from rc7 is tiny, so 3.18 is out.
I'd love to say that we've figured out the problem that plagues 3.17 for a couple of people, but we haven't. At the same time, there's absolutely no point in having everybody else twiddling their thumbs when a couple of people are actively trying to bisect an older issue, so holding up the release just didn't make sense. Especially since
that would just have then held things up entirely over the holiday break.
So the merge window for 3.19 is open, and DaveJ will hopefully get his bisection done (or at least narrow things down sufficiently that we have that "Ahaa" moment) over the next week. But in solidarity with Dave (and to make my life easier too let's try to avoid introducing any _new_ nasty issues, ok?]

Wifi Working In Wheezy But Not Jessie

I just installed on my Sony Vaio "Jessie" and my wifi doesn't work.
When I was using "wheezy" after installation I did the following:

add line to Sources.list:
deb http://http/debian.net/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free

do followwing commands:
# apt-get update && apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi
# modprobe -r iwl4965
# modprobe iwl4965
# aptitude update
# aptitude install plasma-widget-networkmanagement

I tried to do the same in "Jessie"

add line to Sources.list:
deb http://http/debian.net/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free

but it didn't work. Any ideas?

What's Wrong With My /etc/apt/sources.list - Jessie.

Hi all,
This is my /etc/apt/sources.list of jessie, what's wrong as I am getting the following error output .

Now I am guessing one or more of the entries above are wrong, as probably all of testing-updates would probably come into play once jessie is released, right ?

I'm Having Trouble Adding Ppa's

I'm running kali linux. I'm having troubles installing pretty much anything, because when I add any ppa using the add-apt-repository command, I get an error message. I'll use simple screen recorder as an example

add-apt-repository ppa:maarten-baert/simplescreenrecorder

maarten-baert/simplescreenrecorder
Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring /tmp/tmp.EQM7zzCyye --trustdb-name /etc/apt//trustdb.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --primary-keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d//debian-archive-jessie-automatic.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d//debian-archive-jessie-security-automatic.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d//debian-archive-jessie-stable.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d//debian-archive-squeeze-automatic.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d//debian-archive-squeeze-stable.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d//debian-archive-wheezy-automatic.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d//debian-archive-wheezy-stable.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d//kali-archive-keyring.gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com

Can someone please tell me what is going on? I have never been able to add a ppa before using kali linux.

What Is Debian GNU/Linux 7.8.0_Wheezy_- Official I386 DVD Binary-1

I recently installed debian-7.8.0-i386-DVD-1.iso on a VirtualBox. It "live booted" just fine and then I followed the install instructions. As far as I can tell it works. ??? I dont know. here is the issue. When I tried to instal from the Add/remove software in the applications. I get a notice to load 'Debian GNU/Linux 7.8.0_Wheezy_- Official i386 DVD Binary-1' in the dvd tray, after it starts to load/install. so what is really going on there? why do I need to use this? how do I get around it. I appreciate the input. Keep in mind I have know idea about how Linux works. First time user.

Blackscreen Installing Debian Jessie Upgrading From Debian Wheezy

OK, I've created my user, I read all the post like: "Sticky: Please READ this before posting!" and the recommended post.

This morning I tried to upgrade my Debian Wheezy to Debian Jessie. I took a while to read the release-notes, change the source.list typing "jessie" in order of "wheezy".

Then, I opened a script with:

# script -t 2>~/actualiza-a-jessie01.time -a ~/actualiza-a-jessie01.script

and, finally:

# apt-get dist-upgrade

The installation started and all was go on until the postgresql when the installation stops and there was nothing to do. A lot of time after I decide restar the computer but now it doesn't start.

Appears the Debian 8 start menu with:
GNU GRUP versión 2.02

And the menu options:
Debian GNU/Linux
Opciones avanzadas para Debian GNU/Linux
Memory test (memtest86+)
Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)
Memory test (memtest86+, experimental multiboot)
Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200, experimental multiboot)

When I select GNU/Linux I only get:
Loanding, please wait...
fsck from util-linux 2.25.2
/dev/sda1: clean, 619892/30269440 files, 68856006/121052672 blocks

and then.... nothing.

What can I do to restore my computer?

Thanks in advance.
