Terry Relph-Knight, as per http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/xps-m1210 an update to your BIOS is available (A08). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Summary changed: - BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) + [Dell XPS M1210] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) -- 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/1283741 Title: [Dell XPS M1210] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: With my Dell XPS M1210 Model PP11S, on boot Ubuntu 14.04 does not always initialise the keyboard or mouse correctly. So a logon password cannot be entered. Sometimes if the mouse pad is working it is possible to switch to the guest account and then back to a user account to get the keyboard working. Sometimes after that the mousepad stops working.
