I agree that it is not acceptable to release a so called "stable" version being aware of such a serious bug.
Fuchur: I have compiled kernel 2.6.29.1 (2.6.29.2 is already available but I have not tested it) a few weeks ago and I have not had any issues since then. You can download precompiled packages from the Ubuntu site (I do not have the URL) and install them with dpkg. A few people describe easy ways to compile it from source: http://izanbardprince.wordpress.com/2009/03/26/how-to-fix-ubuntu-jaunty- warning-hacks-ahead/ http://koroshiyaitchy.wordpress.com/2009/04/25/ubuntu-904-jaunty- jackalope-customised-for-performance-on-a-nexoc-osiris-e705iii-clevo- m57ru-laptop/ I followed these older instructions: http://symbolik.wordpress.com/2007/11/10/vanilla-kernel-26231-on-gutsy- gibbon/ Just changing the obvious parts. I guess all three methods are actually the same. Just a few kernel configuration options change. The only annoying and unresolved issue I have found this far is related to this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3593262 I have followed the instructions on that how-to to no avail. I have also tried a Gentoo method with uvesafb with no better luck. However, regular Ubuntu installations also give similar problems if you install the proprietary NVIDIA or ATI drivers. In fact, provided the big deal of manual configuration I have ended up carrying out, I am seriously considering moving back to good old Debian, which is far more stable, faster and less buggy than Ubuntu. Ubuntu is more modern, but less than, for instance, Fedora. -- jaunty kernel 2.6.28-11 kernel update renders the system un-usable. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346691 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
