Please take into consideration, that while this fix is published, every user of an affected machine will have their system rendered un-bootable, even if they specify a prior kernel level. And this will be observed, to their great dismay, on trying to reboot after applying system updates, with the only solution available to them, being to re-install the system, and don't apply updates. As such, this is a very serious problem. I'm sure it only affects certain machines, since I have applied the same update to my current primary machine (which used newer Intel graphics, using the same package), and there was no problem. If there were a way for the fix to be temporarily withdrawn from service until this problem is resolved, it might save a lot of people a lot of problems. -- Sincerely, Aere -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1389904 Title: With the recent update to xserver-xorg-video-intel, system boots to a black screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1389904/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
