I'm sticking with 3.8.8 for the time being. Thanks for your help, I didn't even think of booting to the previous kernel.

So will we get this bug fixed by tomorrow on the live cd?
no sound (effecting Nvidia GPUs using HDMI) looks bad
IIRC a fix was committed, it is also easy to workaround, but for a new user it could make the change there mind about installing

[nortexoid]

it is cause of a kernel bug, you could use the mainline kernel or boot the the old kernel
i have attached a mainline installer and update checker
install via terminal using the install script

EDIT:
Found a bug in the attachment to patch it after installing run this command:

sudo sed "s/'-q'/\"-\$r\"/" -i /usr/local/bin/KernelUpdateScriptGenerator

This didn't work for me, but I'm running Catalyst drivers, so maybe that's the issue. I had HDMI but lost it upon upgrading to Kubuntu 13.04. What to do?

[pqwoerituytrueiwoq]

Is there a config file for this?

i added more options to the script
i put my script on github
https://github.com/GM-Script-Writer-...Kernel-Updater

~$ KernelUpdateChecker -h
This script sends data to KernelUpdateScriptGenerator
This script saves the update script made by the script to a file and gives the user instructions
This is the help info from KernelUpdateScriptGenerator
Options:
    -no-rc sets the script to ignore Release Canidate versions
    -r overrides the release version
        eg: `KernelUpdateScriptGenerator -r raring` 
        Would mean to a only kernels for raring even if you are using quantal
    -v is used to specify version series
        eg: `KernelUpdateScriptGenerator -v 3.8` 
        Would mean to a only accept kernels starting with 3.8 in the version number

I'm a little confused about how to apply the fix. I downloaded the tarball and extracted the kernel folder to my home directory. Then I opened a console and typed:

sudo apt-get install curl php5-cli

Sorry, I'm really new to Linux and just installed Ubuntu 13.04 on my ASUS G74S w/ nVidia GeForce GTX 560M. I can't get any sound through HDMI (there is no option for HDMI in my sound settings for output devices; also using pulse audio but with no hdmi option aswell). After googling I read that it was a video driver issue and I've installed the proprietary drivers through the software sources > additional drivers.

So far this was the only fix I found. Is this correct? Thanks.

The following bug appears highly relevant for both nvidia and amd users: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...x/+bug/1169761

i updated the readme file

this should fix the hdmi issue you are having

I ran the script but it only downloaded 3 of the 4 needed files. When I type 'sudo update-manager' I recive this error:

~$ update-manager

should I rerun the script?
