User experience note: I first tried to install Ubuntu 11.04 from a USB stick, and configured networking as guided by the installer, the install crashed while copying files presumably because of this issue. I tried again to install and this time I burned a CD instead and skipped configuring the network. This time it worked but once I got installed I hit the problem again straight away when I connected to the network, I couldn't even install the updates without I/O unexpectedly just stalling. 2 hours of googling and diagnostics later and I was able to identify the problem and report a bug.. If I was a new user of Ubuntu or novice I would probably give up based on negative experience after this. Thankfully I'm not, I'm a big Ubuntu advocate, and this is just a kernel bug.
I'm sure you get a lot of sterile bug reports but I would like to say thank you guys for what is by far the best distro overall imho and a genuine fit for 21st Century Linux experience. I might join the Ubuntu beta testing program to assist to try and catch bugs like this before general release. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/856496 Title: DMA: Out of SW-IOMMU space on 8GB RAM Intel Mobile 4 Series Chipset Laptop due to wired ethernet (jme) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/856496/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
