I have just downloaded the i386 kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.0.4-oneiric/ and booted into this. the files were: linux-headers-3.0.4-030004_3.0.4-030004.201108301138_all.deb linux-headers-3.0.4-030004-generic_3.0.4-030004.201108301138_i386.deb linux-image-3.0.4-030004-generic_3.0.4-030004.201108301138_i386.deb
I have noticed it has fixed an old issue that I think was introduced just after 10.10 which lead to graphics corruption during startup - it didn't bother me as once it had started all seemed OK. Instead of the startup screen I used to see mainly blue and white lines and some black areas of the screen (perhaps this has something to do with it) - the screen was OK when it refreshed . I'll persist with this for a while to see if it fixes it. I did note that this kernel now seems to be my default in GRUB2 - does this mean that I'll need to manually update my kernel until I remove the mainline one or update my GRUB2 configuration. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/878846 Title: Kernel crashed when using GNOME To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/878846/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
