I installed the x86_64 deb packages from #185, and I can confirm that it works... with some issues with VirtualBox.
I had VirtualBox installed, so it actually gave me errors. I went to the VirtualBox site and noticed that there was a 4.0.4 (I had 4.0.2) update that was updated today, so I updated the 4.0.4 package (sudo apt- get upgrade virtualbox-4.0). But by doing so, it wanted me to install an updated 2.6.38-4 kernel, which I accepted. After it was done upgrading, it rebooted to a blank screen (because it wasn't the 2.6.38-4.31~lp561802v201102162013 version). So I rebooted to an old version that I know works, then I installed the kernel listed in #185 (which during the process it said it was 'downgrading'). I rebooted and everything works now (no blank screen and virtualbox 4.0.4 works). I have not tested with external monitor or docking station. I will try to do that later. I'm on KDE (Kubuntu), and when I change the brightness, it something funny, like it will go down in brightness, then up a little. Note: once I rebooted with the #185 version, apt-get wants me to upgrade to the 2.6.38-4 kernel, which I know it won't work, so i'll just ignore for now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/600453 Title: [arrandale] [i915] DELL E6510: blank screen on boot (Intel GPU) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
