[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1585329] Re: Sometimes a black rectangle appears briefly under the mouse cursor

This seems to be fixed, indeed. I can't reproduce this issue anymore. I'm currently on kernel version 4.4.0-38. I'm marking this as fixed, then. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1585329] Re: Sometimes a black rectangle appears briefly under the mouse cursor

Hmm... this issue hasn't been happening lately. Maybe one of the recent kernel updates fixed this. I'll wait a few more days before I mark this as fixed, to see if this wasn't a fluke. As for the freezing/shutting down problems I mentioned before, they started happening in Windows as well, so I

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1585329] Re: Sometimes a black rectangle appears briefly under the mouse cursor

OK, I'll try, but I can't promise anything. But I must say, after I removed and reinstalled the NVidia driver through software-properties-gtk, Ubuntu has shut down or completely frozen several times. I'm going to "autoremove --purge" the driver and reinstall it to see if that stops this. --

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1465706] Re: SRU: New upstream releases of nvidia for 14.04.3

I just purged the bumblebee packages and installed nvidia-prime. I wasn't using the NVIDIA card anyway, so I didn't need dynamic card switching (except to work around a defect in my laptop, but I already found another workaround). Still, the update shouldn't have broken bumblebee (even if it

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1465706] Re: SRU: New upstream releases of nvidia for 14.04.3

The recent upgrade to nvidia-340 in Trusty broke bumblebee. After plymouth, it goes to a black screen. The version in the Bumblebee's PPA is also not perfect. It works, but after running optirun/primusrun, the GPU stays ON because it fails to unload the nvidia module. -- You received this bug

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1328965] Re: 3.13.0-29 kernel includes backport of 3.14 16-bit app restrictions but not override method causing wine win9x to fail

I tested it too in Trusty. Linux 3.13.0-32-generic from -proposed (used Synaptic to upgrade). Package linux-generic version 3.13.0.32.38. I can now do sudo sysctl abi.ldt16=1 to activate 16 bit support. Setting Windows 95 in winecfg now works correctly. Old 16 bit executables now start correctly

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1172945] Re: Acer Aspire 5742G brightness Fn keys doesn't change brightness

I have a laptop of the same model. With acpi_osi=Linux the brightness Fn keys work but the graphical system sliders/notifications don't (which is not a very big problem for me). Another way of changing the brightness, for those laptops that use integrated Intel graphics like this one, is using
