[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1672224] Re: Upgrade to kernel version 4.4.0-66 of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS caused major chaos/failures

I'm having significant problems with LibreOffice Write with kernel 4.4.0-66, but not with 64. The program won't allow text to be highlighted and locks up one core of my CPU. A graceful shutdown of Write is not allowed and even Ubuntu won't shut down without a manual switch off. Am also having

Might I suggest a bug be created for the behavior I saw regarding removing other kernels. Specifically, I upgraded to a kernel and the upgrade largely failed, even thought it was allowed to proceed and was not backed out. Automatically backing out of a failing upgrade might be yet another feature

Quick question. Due to lack of time and resources to investigate this bug, I reinstalled de novo, Ubuntu 16.04.2. The new kernel 4.8.0-41 was installed but the fact that I now am seeing a functional system doesn't really impact this bug. This bug was about very serious issues with the upgrade

I installed the new kernel and it appears to be working. Some issues with nVidia drivers but that's not exactly news for linux. I'll update the bug. On Mar 14, 2017 2:30 PM, "Joseph Salisbury" wrote: > Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream stable kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.4 stable kernel[0]. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel

Yes, booting an old kernel gives a good system. On Mar 13, 2017 12:21 PM, "Joseph Salisbury" wrote: > Does the bug go away if you boot back into the prior kernel version? > > ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) >Importance: Undecided => High > > ** Also affects:
