You can’t install kernel. It is much more complicated than that. I suggest you give up the camera otherwise just stick with windows.

I see… so the question becomes why should I bother with the £15 a year subscription if the camera has stopped working, and when it does the quality is extremely poor compared to Windows, I mean I could live with the poor qaulity camera as I only need it for the odd picture when I am doing assessments with clients, but not having one is a definately no for me.

Actually the performance is way better than windows for me and I don’t use camera. So I paid. Everyone has different demand.
