More newbie questions from an end-user: 1) Https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild instructions after making the kernel: "Now install the .deb files. In this example, the files are linux- image-2.6.24-rc5-custom_2.6.24-rc5-custom-10.00.Custom_i386.deb and linux-headers-2.6.24-rc5-custom_2.6.24-rc5-custom-10.00.Custom_i386.deb. You may receive warnings about '/lib/firmware/2.6.24-rc5-custom/' - this is expected and will only be problematic if the driver you are trying to test requires firmware."
That is, it only specifies installation of linux-image*.deb and linux- headers*.deb. My build also produced a linux-firmware-image*.deb and linux-libc-dev*.deb. Can I/should I leave those uninstalled here? 2) Https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection instructions after installing and testing the first new kernel: "Repeat the process: build, install, test, and report back test results with git bisect good or bad." But it seems to me that I would not repeat the entire process from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild. Do I start again with "make clean" in the linux folder? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1212455 Title: 8086:2562 Flash 11.2 content displays in shades of green and purple only, and in a horizontally compressed space Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: In my testing with the Intel driver using its default acceleration, what works: - Flash 11.2 works on Quantal with the 3.5 kernel - Flash 11.2 works on Raring with the 3.5.0-17 kernel (though it boots to a low-res desktop with a frozen pointer) - Flash 11.2 works on Raring also with the 3.6.11-030611 or 3.7.10-030710 mainline kernels - Flash 11.2 works on Raring with the 3.8 kernel (in Chrome) what fails: - Flash 11.2 fails on Raring with the 3.8 kernel - Flash 11.2 fails on Raring with the latest mainline kernel, 3.11.0-031100rc5 - Flash 11.2 fails on Saucy alpha 2 with its default kernel Disabling Flash *hardware* acceleration altogether (via R-click in the Flash display window: Settings: General tab) did not fix the problem. WORKAROUND: Setting the Intel driver's acceleration method to UXA rather than its default SNA *always* fixes the Flash problem, but causes a garbled login screen under LightDM that so far has no workaround. I also tried one possible fix for the default Intel SNA acceleration using the TearFree option. I created /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf with contents: Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" Option "AccelMethod" "sna" Option "TearFree" "true" EndSection But this had no effect.
