I upgraded linux kernel (e.g. "image") to 3.19.0.13.13 (versions in synaptic says "(vivid)", I may have assumed -proposed wrongly). Then I could log in (without older non-vivid kernel).
I would close this bug if I knew for sure those who download get now the above kernel, not what I got first, 3.19.0.13.12. Otherwise, this might have to go into release notes. Probably the latest minor versions ends up in the release version, I just wander about those who download "the beta", is that stuck in the past or is it a "daily" version? linux-header-generic still says 3.19.0.13.12. Doesn't seem to be a problem, it depends on stuff that has minor version number upgraded.. ** Description changed: - Below was fixed in -proposed, see first comment. + Below was fixed in an upgrade, please see first comment before closing + (I'm also trying to learn stuff and warn others..) [ubuntu-release-upgrader is probably the wrong package.. standing for 15.04 not working, not sure what to pin this on.. or what more info needed.] What I know for a fact: I did do-release-upgrade to upgrade to 15.04 (in fact twice, first to 14.10) After reboot to 15.04 I got the login-screen and the mouse pointer was frozen dead center. I can't type in the password go to virtual console or toggle CAPS LOCK light. However I could reboot and choose an old kernel and got a working WiFi. I tried (purging to force download and) reinstalling of bcmwl-kernel- source as: $ lspci |grep BCM 0b:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01) It didn't help (in fact I lost WiFi in older kernels but fixed that..). Hardware drivers shows the above and: Unknown:Unknown Using Processor microcode firmware for Intel CPUs from intel-microcode (proprietary) [That is new, I hadn't seen before and it was disabled. Now enabled and doesn't make a difference. And not Intel should be upper case..] ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.04 Package: ubuntu-release-upgrader-core 1:15.04.13 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-34.45-generic 3.16.7-ckt8 Uname: Linux 3.16.0-34-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: wl ApportVersion: 2.17-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 CrashDB: ubuntu CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Wed Apr 8 22:02:35 2015 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-08-21 (230 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140722.2) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: ubuntu-release-upgrader Symptom: dist-upgrade UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to vivid on 2015-04-06 (2 days ago) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1441891 Title: Can't login after upgrade to 15.04 on Dell Inspiron 1525 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1441891/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
