Hi, I'm new to Ubuntu and Linux, I've installed recently the latest version of Ubuntu (64 bits) on my notebook (Acer Aspire 5535), which has an AMD Athlon X2 QL-62, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3200 and 4GB of RAM.
The system runs pretty well, but I experience some hangups from time to time, resuming from hibernation won't show any image which forces me to shutdown the computer, and some ubuntu applications lock up, like the Administration > System Test (if I decide not to give admin priveleges).
I believe this is something to do with the kernel (using the 2.6.32-24-generic actually), I intend to patch it to the newest stable release in www.kernel.org (http://www.kernel.org) which is 2.6.35.4. After I download it I used the command: "patch -E -p1 <patch 2.6.35.4" I do get lots of *.rej files, I believe to be some error files. I also tried the same command with "sudo".
I restart the system and nothing happens, I end up with the same kernel.
Is there an easy way to do this step-by-step for noobs and keeping all drivers/programs/and graphical appeareance?
Thank you.
