Flames_in_Paradise, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. The naming convention change has been officially documented in: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/TechnicalOverview/Alpha1#Linux_kernel_3.4
As well, this change was voted in by the Ubuntu Technical Board. For more on this, please see: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2012-May/035176.html Please feel free to report any future bugs you may find. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1214462 Title: Kernel Description doesn't explain its a PAE-Kernel _ since 3.4.0.1.1 _ Linus would not smile _. Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Dear Developers and maintainers, trying not to make a big fuzz about it: Let me just quote https://bugs.launchpad.net/baltix/+bug/930447/comments/97 from 2012-06-05 (referencing the release-notes on 12.04.2): > The non-PAE version of the Linux kernel will be dropped completely > following the 12.04 release. Pls correct me and mark as invalid, if Ubuntu doesn't have to follow naming conventions given on the Linux-Kernel. Trying to find appropiate information in the package change-log: linux-meta (3.4.0.1.1) quantal; urgency=low * Open Quantal Quetzal 12.10 * Temporarily disable LBM * Remove non-PAE i386 references -- mail adress hid...@canonical.com> Wed, 02 May 2012 06:21:45 -0700 Pls clarify this and correct Ubuntus Kernel-naming on i386 package if appropriate.If the leftovers in the package are PAE, the package-names are meant to say so Clear & Loud. Personally I think Linus wouldn't smile, even though if I thought the index-finger to Nvidia was a bit to rough. Personally I think this bug has security-potential.
