>May be "one-hundred-papercuts" is the right place if you feel a bug doesn't get enough attention foralongtime.
that`s a pointer, thanks. >Another valuable thought is that one cannot blame the ubuntu-people solely for not getting this right yes, for sure intel also is to blame, but when the ubuntu team decided to drop non-pae kernel ( http://ubuntu.5.x6.nabble.com/Dropping-i386 -non-PAE-as-a-supported-kernel-flavour-in-Precise-Pangolin-td366373.html ) they should better care for the consequences instead of ignoring the problems of hundreds of users. and , they cannot say that nobody complained - there had been complaints already at time of the announcement. i would have no problem when ubuntu was simply ubuntu desktop, but there is ubuntu server, there is ltsp, there is lubuntu and there is xubuntu, and these are all suitable or even meant for old hardware. hardware you cannot use with these ubuntu derivates anymore. and there are many more ubuntu based distros - get a clue at: http://distrowatch.com/search.php?basedon=Ubuntu so, deciding to drop non-pae ubuntu team also decided killing old hardware, as users are more likely to switch to new hardware than switching to a distro like debian. >@ roland aus koeln: Keep in mind: a bug report disappears from list once it's marked as invalid. But is also appears in trusty i neither maintain this bug nor can i remember touching this bug`s status information, i´m not even sure if i can change a bug`s status at all. what i really no not understand is why adding my rather non-intrusive patch to the ubuntu kernel as a workaround to the "drop-non- pae"-decision is such a no-go and why kernel devs telling they would probably have a look and probably make a better version of it and then i never ever get any response again. to me this looks like they neither put attention on this issue nor do they appreciate/esteem work/fixes from the user community, as the work i put into this is for nothing and just a waste of time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/930447 Title: Unable to start Ubuntu 12.04 live CD with syslinux loader on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to bug in PAE kernel, initramfs or syslinux To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/930447/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
