IMHO, please stop with all the discussion about what should have been done, or if linux is ready for the desktop and whatnot.
We have a stable release that is recommended as stable to users. ALL users. this stable release has a known problem with intel drivers, the problem was reported as a bug and is being worked on. This is the proper way to address the issue. When a workaround is found, it should be recommended to all users, or if it entails a regression, it should be pushed into the update path as a temporary fix (unitl now, i haven't found the problem again with the updated intel drivers in the jaunty backports). "upgrade to karmic alpha" is not a viable workaround for users, so please, recommend what to do to avoid this problem within jaunty, while the bug is solved. Has anyone bothered to thoroughly check which update produced the error for the first time? -- entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem -- [i965] X freezes starting on April 3rd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/359392 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
