well, it seems for me my issue may have just been things didn't configure properly after clearing out old kernels. i should not have tried to install the new version of kernel directly. installing the kernel meta-packages and the kubuntu desktop meta-package seems to have fixed it. (don't know if the desktop one was necessary, but i don't think it would hurt...):
sudo apt-get install linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image- generic kubuntu-desktop this would pick up the latest available kernel image version packages. if you run regular ubuntu, i believe the meta is ubuntu-desktop instead. hope that helps someone. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1158562 Title: system will not start after updating to kernel 3.5.0-27 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-lts-quantal/+bug/1158562/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
