I will test this workaround as soon as I manage to find the other laptop, it is a bit of a shame that the workaround pretty much involves never turning the machine off, but for a portable computer I guess it is not so bad, depending on how much power draw it has got in sleep mode.
You shouldn't thank me, I really can't help you having found this workaround you already know more about the problem than I do. If reporting the bug upstream does not work you could try testing with another distribution (like fedora, to name one) and reporting the bug in their bug tracker if it also shows the same symptoms (it did the last time I tried, I think it was in august), then you could also reference the new report with this one. It will not fix the problem but it may attract the eyeballs of people with enough knowledge to fix it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/793437 Title: Unusable Slowness In 2.6.38-8 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/793437/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
