Hi! Thanks for your reply and, i'm sorry i replied to the bug address. I had in mind to reply to Greg (Faith) whom i know a bit from lubuntu-ppc list, so, i thought it might be allowed ;)
Anyway, if it is like you said, for the powerbook, i think i'll downgrade (it's destinated to be used mainly by my wife in her secondary, my primary :) , home. If Greg is reading: If there would be needed some tester, i could play on it, from time to time booting from an external firewire (?) ). For the Samsung i'd like to be up to date, also because it's a new "toy". To get newer kernels and to try out, is there a "How to . . ." somewhere? TIA and have a nice sunday. PS. I'm pretty much willed to help, but for sure, with and within my limits. Certainly, i'm not a guy with square brackets in the eyes ;) 2012/10/21 melchiaros <[email protected]>: > [Offtopic] > > Good Morning J.-S(when this is correct in your timezone). > > To reply to your personal questions: > > All issues you are encounter like suspend or backlight or sound or fan > or wireless or ... well, all hardware driver related are primary > problems of the linux kernel. > > You have pointed out that there are less problems with kernel 3.2 and > kernel 3.2 based distributions, but even this bugs occures with Ubuntu > 12.10. > > -> The cause for this is that Ubuntu 12.10 based on kernel 3.5.x and what you > obserse are called regression bugs(a bug that is induced by programming > activity on further versions and causes functionalities to break that work in > a privious version). > Unfortunally this happens from time to time and it seems that it hit the the > distance from kernel 3.2 to kernel 3.5 hard as you discribe.
