just an update, after much messing around i have discovered that this particular issue is not actually the kernel, but with the nvidia 177 driver, from what i can tell my system when i boot up the new kernel isnt using the new nvidia driver, even though it is installed (at least according to adept it is)
i have tried selecting hardware drivers from the system menu (kubuntu) and then activating the 177 driver, but nothing seems to happen, if i then open nvidia-settings (i do this form a terminal as root, eg - sudo/kdesudo nvidia-settings) i get this message - " You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. " if i do as the message says and run nvidia-xconfig as root when i restart the x server i then get the issue i first described as a bug with the new kernel, so it would seem that for some reason my system doesnt like the new nvidia driver, or isnt using it for some reason. hope this helps and sorry for any confusion -- new kernel wont load / boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280823 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
