@Christopher, sorry this is my main computer, so i cannot re-install from scratch (also wouldn't really have the time for this and also lack a separate disk). I assume, just running with old kernels probably won't work given that they are reasonably old? (otherwise, can you point me to a kernel pa

@Christopher. Sorry, can't answer that question: i never run anything earlier than quantal on this hardware. On the previous laptop (thinkpad w500) where i run many earlier versions of ubuntu (including quantal for a few weeks) i did not notice that problem but then that laptop did have only 8GB o

yet another observation: yesterday i run all day with the standard 3.11 kernel with all 16GB RAM. At the end of the day i also got in the state where apt-get update took minutes (tens of them).

another observation: i also run a few time apt-get update as others have used this as a benchmark. While not as slow as others have reported in bug 1107150, i did notice slow package reads of multiple minutes whereas a preceeding /sbin/sysctl -w vm.drop_caches=3 could drop it to <20 seconds. Inter

@Joseph, thanks for the info and i could install v3.14-rc7-trusty (although i had to switch from nvidia to integrated graphics as nvidia didn't seem to work anymore). The experience is somewhat mixed so far. In the half-day i'm running it i haven't seen really bad behaviour (no multi-minute apt-ge

@joseph: as i replied to a similar request of yours in bug 1107150 (comment 66), i can't find the PAE kernels, e.g., the http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.14-rc5-trusty/ you point out does not seem to contain any PAE kernels (at least if still the old naming conventions apply). --

Chris, this problem occurs for lots of different hardware and BIOSes (e.g., i have it on a ThinkPad W530 with uptodate BIOS); the bios- outdated tag is rather misleading and is very unlikely to be related to the problem? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Pac
