I don't run Ubuntu 10.04 because I want to. There is a problem with the futex backport in the -61 kernel that the proposed -62 kernel fixes. As bug 1327300 makes clear, this is a lucid-specific problem so clearly the issue will not be present in any newer release. Supported or not, breaking existing systems and telling users to change releases is a little... unhelpful.
And you seem to be suggesting that this only affects desktop apps. My Ubuntu 10.04 SERVER at home would probably disagree with your assessment, but I'm not stupid enough to run a kernel I know to be broken on it just to prove a point. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1328360 Title: Linux 2.6.32-61 futex changes break existing applications To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1328360/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
