Hi Christopher. I saw flandolt's comment at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/769812/comments/25 and tried to install kernel 3. Here's what I did, if I remember correctly:
# The following _didn't_ work, because I don't know how to use PPA correctly. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kernel-ppa/ppa #also tried ppa:kernel, ppa:kernel-ppa, etc. sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3 sudo apt-get install linux-headers sudo apt-get update # So instead I downloaded the debs from here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.0-rc7-oneiric/ # Looks like this kernel was released yesterday, you might try it: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.0.1-oneiric/ sudo apt-get remove fglrx sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/linux-headers-3.0.0-0300rc7_3.0.0-0300rc7.201107120911_all.deb sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/linux-headers-3.0.0-0300rc7-generic_3.0.0-0300rc7.201107120911_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/linux-image-3.0.0-0300rc7-generic_3.0.0-0300rc7.201107120911_i386.deb sudo reboot During the installation I got a variety of errors as the the installer tried to recompile various modules with the v3 kernel. These failing modules included virtualbox and fglrx. There were two others I can't remember. I still see fglrx in my pagkage list (version 2:8.840-0ubuntu4), I don't know how that happened. When I tried to boot into kernel-3 with fglrx installed, I kept getting a flashing black screen until I hard-rebooted into kernel 2.6 and removed it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/749871 Title: Attempt to Use Realtek RTL8192CE Wireless Causes Computer to Freeze To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/749871/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
