@hillofbeans #173, This is exactly my stance - although I think you'll find it's been well over a week since this problem started. The reason I'm sticking people on 12.04 LTS is because if you go onto the Ubuntu forums with such kernel problems on non-LTS you can get heavily criticized for "experimenting" on the back of a requirement for stability. So guess my general annoyance at "selling" LTS to people with such a promise. Anyway, there are people out there like me actively pushing others to get out of mainstream systems and into Linux derivatives, but those end- users just want their systems to work, whilst I can't drive everywhere sorting several Sandybridge PCs - it's just not practical, especially if people are not that confident with CLI or Synaptic instructions expressed to them over the phone.
Anyway, my temporary solution to the above has been to lockdown previously working kernels and I won't be asking people to update their machines until I know a fix is ready and stable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1140716 Title: [regression] 3.5.0-26-generic and 3.2.0-39-generic GPU hangs on Sandybridge To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1140716/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
