When is the fix out of 'proposed'? I don't want 'proposed' updates. If I'd want that I'd install 16.10 What is the point of an LTS if these bugs can't be fixed?! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bug

Hi, unfortunately 4.4.0-69 has been withdrawn from the 16.04 repository. (See here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+package/linux- tools-4.4.0-69-generic ) Additional information: 4.4.0-71 crashes with WiFi RTL8188CUS chipset (Edimax EW-7811Un), too. Probably same driver as for RTL8192. Curr

Sorry, Joseph, a bit more information please: Which proposed kernel version specifically? I thought this had been done before. Anyway: I activated the Xenial proposed repository, but I can't see any kernel newer than 4.4.0-72 -- is this the version supposed to fix this issue? To be honest, after

Well, alright, I tested kernel 4.4.0-72. Didn't really work for me. It's actually not really helping, because with it Unity is broken, not all icons are loading (workspace switcher is gone), no mouse at all. Something utterly wrong with USB support. At least the system doesn't freeze, so I could
