** Description changed:
The Linux kernel seems to have an issue with my on-board networking
adapter and the ACPI of my computer.
On doing some research this seems to be a very old and somewhat common
bug that no one has ever done anything about.
This bug results in two things:
My on-board networking doesn't work, and trying to restart or shutdown
the computer freezes the system.
With an older 12.04 kernel, 3.2.0-23.36, there were two workarounds.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1003297
And in a more recent version there was still a practical workaround
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1003297
The first mentioned of these still works:
1) Boot into rescue mode, drop to the terminal, run "rmmod forcedeth"
then "modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix=0" then resume a normal boot. This
enabled both networking and regular ACPI functions.
But is a one-off that needs to be repeated at every start up and several
graphics drivers do ot function well until the next normal boot.
So that is very much a compromise.
The more stable work arounds listed at the references cannot now be
applied because the structure of the kernel has changed.
I assume that a work around could be produced but my knowledge is
insufficient to do it myself.
I would dearly and urgently love to find a solution as I have an
unusable PC at the moment.
DONt Let Me Go Back To Windows!

+ Tried to run "apport-collect 1520651" as requested below by Brad, but got
this:

+
+ taff@UPMULTI:~$ apport-collect 1520651
+ You need to run 'sudo apt-get install python-apport' for apport-collect to
work.
+ taff@UPMULTI:~$ sudo apt-get install python-apport
+ [sudo] password for taff:
+ Reading package lists... Done
+ Building dependency tree
+ Reading state information... Done
+ Package python-apport is not available, but is referred to by another package.
+ This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
+ is only available from another source
+ However the following packages replace it:
+ apport
+
+ E: Package 'python-apport' has no installation candidate
+
+
+ I assume tat means I've not selected the right software sources or PPA's but
don't know how to fix that.

+ HELP please.
