That's fine the way you do it. However, speaking to the realities of this report (the way it works here on Launchpad), you are the only one to report it (so far). >"I am perfectly well keeping the old kernel and frankly I do not think to have >security problems in this way." I'm not sure how you came to this conclusion when if one does but a little research, you have already missed on multiple CVEs for your kernel version series: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/linux/+changelog >"To sum up: I have no needs, but I am here if You want to "debug this issue to root cause it" as you say rightly "this is not done yet". I do not want to make you lose your precious dev time (seriously)..." I'm not losing any time facilitating bug fixes. >"...so if you think that this is just a corner case with my singular hardware combination..." The dynamics of such a prognostication are too varied to say for certain if more reports will/won't potentially come up in the future. What is known is you are the only one so far I'm aware of. >"..., close this bug report and sorry for the waste of time. If you instead think that this could help other spot similar problems,..." Again, this is not about what may/may not potentially affect others. It's about you, your hardware, and your problem. Let the focus remain on this. >"I can try all the kernels or tests you throw me, in my spare time, of course... And deep thanks for your efforts to help me." If you want a fix, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from the very top line at the top of the page (the release names are irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. If the test did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ Where XY and Z are numbers corresponding to the kernel version. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ Please note, an error to install the kernel does not fit the criteria of kernel-bug-exists-upstream. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results.
