Hi Lars, I noticed you reported on one of your [PPC] installation test results that you needed the "snd-powermac.blacklist=yes" boot parameter. Has the "fixing recursive..." bug returned? As far as I know, that was why we used that boot parameter in the past. Regards, Keith Rogers -- Ma

Hi, the kernel made by Joe is only for AMD64 at present. Julien has requested that the patch be applied to all kernels so that after final-beta is out, it can land in the daily builds. The 3.12rc1 is available for 64 and 32 bit only from the links I was given. Regards, Phill. On 25 September 2

Hi Aere, the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1227202 is in the final-beta ISO's, if you are using an AMD/Intel 64 bit computer, you can install a kernel with the proposed fix in it. There seems to be more than one bug affecting zram and further investigations are ongoing.

Keith, such information would be really handy as we have to write up some release notes for the known bug for when 13.10 final-beta comes out on Thursday. With the fix from upstream only currently available in amd64 for the 'it freezes at the end of instal' section, which does not solve a further

Hi Aere and Pierre when you both get a bit of time, would you write up a wiki page for this. It is a departure from our existing method of keyboard switching and I'm certain that people using 13.10 for the first time will also be looking for answers. You are free to just write up the instructions

Hi Keith, that looks good so far, seeing zram0 and zram1 still there we are thinking is a separate bug. Getting the system able to install is currently priority #1. I've still got 45 mins to go before I can start testing the ubuntu-desktop-amd64 ISO and see how it plays out. Regards, Phill.

Congratulations :-) I think those commands are only a temporary switch off of zram. So after reboot it will re-appear (and the installed system is not affected at all). You need to do something else, for example remove the package zram-config to switch it off completely and persistently. Best reg
