Well, I tested on my laptop with: paul@paul-NC210-NC110:~$ cat /proc/version Linux version 3.14.79-031479-generic (kernel@gloin) (gcc version 4.8.4 (Ubuntu 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.3) ) #20160910530 SMP Sun Sep 11 09:41:06 UTC 2016
When I used gdebi to install the kernel .deb, in the details, there were some errors. I believe this was because I did not installed headers .deb before... I would suggest you install the headers .deb before... but it work even without the headers .deb. Also gdebi said version was already installed: I am pretty sure it was not. I lost my wifi however after rebooting with that version (I plugged Ethernet wire for writing this). And I am on Linux Mint 19.1. When I rebooted, it continue to boot with old kernel, and was not showing me the menu... even if I pressed Esc and Shift. So I edited /etc/default/grub from: GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 to: GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 but I think this could be needed only on Mint. after that, advanced options were showing, and I was able to select old kernel version. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1791312 Title: ubuntu 18.04 flickering screen with Radeon X1600 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: my laptop: HP Compaq nx9420 my grafic card: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV530/M56-P [Mobility Radeon X1600] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) attachment: the bug-apport-file Description: I start ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Kernel 4.15.0.33) in textmode; -> as soon as the kernel-module radeon.ko is loaded the screen starts flickering when starting the grafic-mode the flickering continues; so the screen is unusable. when setting the option "radeon.modeset=0" (thus: not use radeon drivers) the screen does not flicker but the resolution is limited to 1400x1050 (instead of natural 1680x1050) so I can not use this as work-around when using the old ubuntu 14.04.05 LTS (Kernel 3.13.0-157) the screen is o.k. NO flickering in textmode, nice grafic, NO flickering xrandr tells: 1680x1050 60.1 so I must stay on old ubuntu 14.04.05 ???
