Re: We've got ourselves kernel 3.7 final...
From: Leann Ogasawara leann.ogasawara [at] canonical.com
We have uploaded a new Raring linux kernel. Please note the ABI Bump. The most notable changes are as follows:
Rebase to upstream stable v3.7
Re-enable build of dm-raid45
tools: hv: Netlink source address validation allows DoS (LP: #1084777)
Improved kernel config annotations for Ubuntu kernel config review
SAUCE: ACPICA: Fix ACPI mutex object allocation memory leak on error
SAUCE: drm: Fix possible EDID memory allocation oops
SAUCE: ttm: Fix possible _manager memory allocation oops
SAUCE: iwlwifi: iwlagn_request_scan: Fix check for priv->scan_request
SAUCE: i915: intel_set_mode: Reduce stack allocation from 500 bytes to2 pointers
The full changelog can be seen at:

Learn about git bisect.
Learn how to compile an upstream kernel.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild
For the first kernel compilation you will need this steps:
sudo apt-get install git kernel-package fakeroot build-essential
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
cd linux
cp /boot/config-`uname -r` .config
yes '' | make oldconfig
CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=`getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN` fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image kernel_headers
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i linux*.deb
sudo reboot
git bisect --help

compiling a custom kernel is all well and good if your only goal is to optimize YOUR system . However I prefer to test what Ubuntu is actually providing since that is the whole point of this forum .
Re: We've got ourselves kernel 3.7 final...
Testing mainline kernel is the first step.
Not working ? boot from last known working kernel (3.5 in this situation)
cd linux
git bisect start
git bisect bad
git bisect good v3.5
Delete *.deb in home
Compile again, this time:
CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=`getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN` fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-bisect1 kernel_image kernel_headers

You should make a wiki, as you seems knowing a lot :)

One question. Am I to assume that there will be no more release candidates for this cycle?
regards.
For kernel ?
We will have an 3.8 kernel.
Want some more ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwXR89WYkFg

sudo dpkg -i linux*.deb
or something else?
(Commands above are for amd64, easily corrected for i386 via simple substitute...)
@zika,
They meant the link in my sig :) .. the Sudo Code Quick Grabber :)
Re: We've got ourselves kernel 3.7 final...
btw .. I downloaded the *.deb files, installed them and it broke xorg. I had to boot into 3.5.n-n to get terminal and:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
I finally got my desktop back. I can't find that kernel install anywhere in grub.
I'm back on :desktop 3.7.0-030700rc8-generic #201212031649 SMP Mon Dec 3 22:00:46 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

Does the RR version of 3.7.0 work for you?

Kernel 3.7.0-6.14 i386 is working really well for me :D
