[Bug 1575437] Re: Asus ZenBook UX501VW frequently hangs during boot under Ubuntu 16.04

The situation seems to be somewhat improved in 4.11-rc1, but still far from completely reliable. Out of 3 boot attempts with the workaround removed, 1 was successful... the other 2 hung (seemingly) just as before. While this is certainly encouraging, it appears that "nouveau.modeset=0" is still

For what it's worth, the "nouveau.modeset=0" workaround is still required for the 4.10.1 kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/v4.10.1/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

I've attached a strace of software-properties-gtk, taken with the "strace -fr -o software-properties-gtk.strace software-properties-gtk" command. The only thing which stands out to me is that there are a *lot* of EAGAIN entries for file descriptor 3, which appears to be the local

[Bug 1660100] Re: Unable to enable or disable repository in Software & Updates

I'm seeing the exact same problem, on an up-to-date Ubuntu 16.10 amd64 installation. The only oddity to my configuration is that I'm running the 4.9.6-040906-generic mainline kernel, because the stock Ubuntu kernel has stability issues with the ASUS Zenbook UX501VW. Based upon the original

It's in the normal Ubuntu repositories for xenial. Assuming that you haven't explicitly disabled them, You should be able to run "sudo apt- get update" followed by "sudo apt-get install linux- image-4.4.0-38-generic" to reinstall the beastie. -- You received this bug notification because you are

[Bug 1575437] Re: Asus ZenBook UX501VW frequently hangs during boot under Ubuntu 16.04

The stock linux-image-4.4.0-38-generic image seems to boot and work fine here, *provided* that the "nouveau.modeset=0" boot parameter is used. The easiest way to do this is via the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX setting in /etc/default/grub. $ grep ^GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= /etc/default/grub

@tiJoe You'll get that error if the kernel package came from kernel-ppa mainline (or was custom built, etc.), rather than an official ubuntu kernel package. I'm guessing yours came from http://kernel.ubuntu.com /~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.3.5-wily/, which would explain the message. I had to

The 4.7-rc1 kernel fails to boot entirely, which occurs very early in the process. There were a number of messages concerning "address family not supported" shown, although I didn't pay a great deal of attention since 4.7-rc2 is already available. As far as I can see, the 4.7-rc2 kernel behaves
