Kernel updates during the same(13.04) release?

**vinibali** · May 9th, 2013

hi there,
i had a strong issue further, check this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2130159. today just for fun, i tried out the newest Xubuntu 13.04. just simply choosed it at the LiLi and for my biggest suprise, it worked after many shutdowns and restarts. i thinked maybe, the unity has issues with my AMD, but not. now i already writing from a many times restarted 13.04 Ubi liveusb. unbeliveable

so i wont try and maybe cant find the older builds of Ubuntu, to figure out which one made the progress. just want to ask: under the same distro used to be updated with the newest kernel or other main components or just something repaird from itself or God helped me

thanks

A lot of work went into Ubuntu and its flavours (such as Xubuntu) in the last four weeks before its release at the end of April. I tested 13.04 all through its development period and for months I could not run a live session without using an F6 option (more than one option in fact). Then about February/March something changed and I was able to run a live session in the same way that I always had been able to.

There have been issues with proprietary video drivers but the open source video driver (Nouveau) is much improved. I use it instead of Nvidia drivers. Each release of Ubuntu has newer kernels than the previous release.

I am now testing Saucy Salamander and the live session runs fine and also the installation runs fine.

Regards.

i already tested one of the first stable releases, so thats why its intresting. i used the open(default) and the proprietary AMD driver, and i wont changed. so i think there was same other issue.
which kernel is using at the SS?

SS went from kernel 3.8.0 to 3.9.0 within the first few days after 13.04 was released. And today we got kernel 3.9.0-1.

thanks one last question

the wine is opencl capable? so i want to use a videoediter program, and its gpu accelerated with opencl and helps a lot in the preview windows and a small help at rendering too. but the preview accelerate is more important for me.
