"while your statement on how your graphics card is not supported by the proprietary nvidia drivers in linux-lts-trusty was noticed, I'm not seeing evidence to this"
Try building it then. So far so good. I haven't seen this happen for a good while now. I've upgraded to Trusty today. I'll leave this to expire and reopen if it does reppear. -- 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/1421490 Title: Hyperthreading not always detected Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: From a cold boot (power off --> power on), this system doesn't always detect the presence of Hyperthreading on the processor. Note: warm reboot has very different problems so cannot be tested. It *usually* does, but on occasion for no obvious reason the system reports a single CPU (HT systems report two CPUs to increase performance). Despite all the articles claiming the opposite; this noticeably reduces performance of the system, especially in multi-threaded applications such as Google Chrome (in the case of Chrome the difference in response is considerable!) linux-lts-trusty is NOT an option as it is incompatible with my graphics drivers (no longer supported).
