While this > bug has not been confirmed to affect Ubuntu 12.10, users are advised > to use caution when installing on Samsung laptops and ensure that they > are configured for legacy BIOS mode, not UEFI mode. (1040557) > > Kernel: > Haswell processor graphics is not fully supported. (1066975) > On some systems, when opening lid, there is a kerneloops with a > suspend/resume failure message seen. (1054732) > On certain ASUS machines with AMD graphic chips, a WMI event and ACPI > interrupt are sent at the same time when hitting the hotkey to change > display mode, resulting in the display mode being changed twice in > succession. Users can work around this using the Displays panel in > System Settings for changing display modes. (1052278) > On ASUS N53SN laptops, the kernel does not boot without noefi on > commandline. (1053897) > > > Networking: > In order to improve compatibility with other local nameserver > packages, NetworkManager now assigns IP address 127.0.1.1 to the local > nameserver process that it controls instead of 127.0.0.1. If the > system’s /etc/resolv.conf is absent or is a static file instead of the > symbolic link to ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf installed by default > then this static file will have to be updated by the administrator in > order to continue using the NetworkManager-controlled nameserver. > > Video Drivers: > Several video drivers are not functioning with some legacy chip-sets. > > xserver-xorg-video-trident with some Trident Cyberblade chip-sets. > Black screen and lock-up.
