@ Joseph Salisbury: I am able to test the latest upstream kernel, but I'm concerned about if the following is applicable in my current scenario:
======================================== Preparing to install an upstream kernel First, if one is using select proprietary or out-of-tree modules (ex. vitualbox, nvidia, fglrx, bcmwl, etc.) unless there is an extra package available for the version you are testing, you will need to uninstall the module first, in order to test the mainline kernel. If you do not uninstall these modules first, then the upstream kernel more than likely will not boot. ======================================== I'm using manually installed proprietary drivers for my WiFi card (attached screenshot), since this is the only way I can connect to the Internet at this time. Do you think is it possible not to uninstall this drivers first? ** Attachment added: "Manually installed proprietary drivers for WiFi" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1593226/+attachment/4684989/+files/Screenshot%20from%202016-06-16%2010-27-39.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1593226 Title: [Acer Aspire ES1-411] Ubuntu freezes occasionally To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1593226/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
