Dear Joseph:
Re: Upstream testing, can you tell me how to get the instruction "sudo dpkg -i 
*.deb" added in terminal to find the downloaded app? I downloaded the upstream 
kernel into its own folder but I don't know how to specify in the command so it 
will find & load it. Thank you.

 Upstream testing is a bit above my learning curve at this point, but I'd like 
to add that I installed the bare-bones chromium browser from the 
software-center that works flawlessly, so I think the problem is maybe not the 
kernel but in firefox browser, slow to open, unresponsive. Running ClamTK every 
few sessions shows I'm picking up exploits in .../.cache/mozilla using firefox 
browser, just visiting very safe, plain vanilla sites, like yahoo. I've reset 
firefox and done most of their fixes to no effect. There's no setting I can 
find that allows me to quickly clear the cache, I don't want to lose my open 
tabs.
Thank you for the tireless hard work you people do out of love.

 Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v3.18 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, 
please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as 
"Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.
