I tried upgrading to the 2.6.30 kernel to reduce the many way Jaunty freezes, kernel oops, GPU lock-ups, and wireless module lock-ups that arrived with Jaunty. So many major regressions in a single production release! Problem is the 2.6.30 kernel is built with an old gcc and that cause problems with vmware server 2, which I need.
So I downgraded and I am now trying the 'jauny-proposed' 2.6.28-12 kernel and -intel driver, together with the 'jaunty-backports' wireless (iwlagn) module. Things have been a bit better for ~24 hours. The Jaunty back-ports iwlagn module is still poked, but just causing kernel errors rather than total machine lock-up like the stock Jaunty one. I need to get work down so I have actually been using an ethernet cable to avoid wireless. As soon I get some time I'll try to find some way to escape the misery that is Jaunty, downgrade to 8.10 (my happy place :-) or get the karmic kernel to work with vmware. -- [i945g] Jaunty freezes all the time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365527 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
