Just to make a new tread and not to mess up 3.10 thread...

Oh, go on then. Let's see how many of my kernel modules fail to build.

Edit: Surprisingly, fglrx 13.101 builds ok. Unsurprisingly, SPL (for ZoL) fails to build.

First attempt... no luck.

My VirtualBox Guest Additions crashed:

Keepin' the ride

I was able to build ati as module. Not so sure about the ati version. I had ready on my hdd. But it's the latest offical or the latest beta. Not 100% sure, but pretty sure.

Oh, go on then. Let's see how many of my kernel modules fail to build.

3.11 installed okay, but nVidia 304.88 failed the initial module build. I assume 304.88 needs to be patched for 3.11.

In the meantime, I attempted to revert to Nouveau. This 3.11 / Nouveau combo hard locks @ Plymouth.

However, Nouveau works shockingly good in 3.10.

So, here I sit, broken-hearted, waiting for the devs to make the next move... LoL!

tried the 3.11 kernel early this morning before leaving for work and the nvidia driver (325.08 from Xedgers) failed to build. just got home awhile ago, ran an update and was glad to see that it included an updated nvidia 325.08 (again from Xedgers). ran the updates, rebooted and i am in!!

w00t! That was f-a-s-t!!!

Working perfect...

Had a couple of (I assume) hardware-related episodes, since posting above.

1. Hard locked in the middle of a session. Required rebooting via power button, on computer case.
2. Next session, everything went BaNG! Thought it was a power outage. Spit me to the BIOS screen.

I'm back on 3.10 for now. Don't want to puke a drive...


EDIT


2 1/2 hours on 3.10 -- no more episodes.

Think I'll wait for 3.11-rc2 before trying it again...

[slickymaster]

Had to disable VirtualBox Guest Additions in order to install it, but it's done:

~$ lsb_release -a && uname -r
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 13.10
Release:	13.10
Codename:	saucy
3.11.0-031100rc1-generic

The only issue so far is that I'm not able to use the Auto-resize Guest Display option of my VM.
