Undo Backport
by LinuxUser255 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5A8J3)
Hello everyone.
I am new to this web app and just joined today.
I've been using Linux,primarily Debian and Debian based distros for three years. And dabbled in Arch too.
In any event, I am having a back port issue.
Here's the background and context before I ask my question.
I was troubleshooting issues with Wireguard & Mullvad on my Debian 10 4.19.152-1.
When trying to run Wireguard with Mullvad, it was throwing the following error message:
"> > Blocking internet > > Failed to set system DNS"
Then, after adding the Debian backports to my sources list, Mullvad & WireGuard worked perfectly.
However the Linux 5.8.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 prevented some apps from working.
Such as as Virtual Box.
I fixed the Wireguard problem on Kernel Version 4.19.152-1 with the following commands:
sudo systemctl edit mullvad-daemon
[Service] > Environment="TALPID_FORCE_USERSPACE_WIREGUARD=1"
sudo systemctl restart mullvad-daemon
I can still boot into the original: Debian GNU/LINUX, Linux 4.19.0-amd64 on the GRUB boot loader menu.
However, is it possible to undo the back ports and return to Debian 10's Kernel 4.19.152-1 (2020-10-18) ?
uname -a
Linux linux 4.19.0-12-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.152-1 (2020-10-18) x86_64 GNU/Linux
I backed up/flashed my OS on an external hard drive. I was thinking I could experiment on that so that I don't inadvertently break Debian on my workstation.
Sincerely,
-Chris
