Aurosutru, thank you for your comments. Regarding them: >"Chris, downloading an .iso with the slow EDGE Inet connection available here >in rural India is not feasible."
Well, it would be feasible, it would just take a while. However, if you download Xubuntu, it would be a bit smaller, than Ubuntu: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/daily-live/current/ As well, one may download it if the connection keeps dropping out via a terminal: wget -c http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/daily-live/current/trusty-desktop-amd64.iso This will resume a dropped connection where it left off so you don't have to keep starting from scratch. >"Would running apport with the current Ubuntu version and the new BIOS be helpful?" Unfortunately, no. >"I can probably update the kernel to the latest upstream kernel if that would be useful too, though the 3.8.0-35 kernel now in the system was only made available as an auto-upgrade a few days ago." You are welcome to test the latest repo kernel. However, if it doesn't work, having tested the latest release would still need to occur. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1264270 Title: Regular black screens since automatic kernel upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1264270/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
