New 3.7.0 kernel is soon here

[Harry33]

The new 3.7.0 rc5 is building in Launchpad right now.
It will soon hit the RR repos.

Here:

I just got it a few minutes ago on my daily update. Runs very nice, everything smooth and snappy.

Ah, that's better!

Thanks, Harry!

I can´t understand what´s going wrong... :confused: cos... I don´t have any chance to start the machine 3.7 kernel, system freezes immediately. 3.5 kernel works without problems.

[VinDSL]

The only oddity I've noticed is...

There is a big difference in the sound volume, between the 3.7-rc5 mainline kernel, and the custom Ubu binary that's built on 3.7-rc5.

When I go back n' forth between the kernels, at boot -- the sound volume (at the same setting) is much louder in the mainline kernel.

[zenarcher]

Still not working for me. When I boot up, the loading process stops at my KVM switch and that's as far as it goes. All works fine with earlier kernels.

Could anyone suggest if this is something I should report as a bug, or should I just hold off and see if it is fixed in a later kernel release? If I should report it, could you tell me where I should send a bug report?

Thanks,
zenarcher

[ronacc]

here too it is stopping very early in the boot , the last thing I see on the console is 2 of my drives being attached . 3.5 kernel is ok .

[MWisBest]

I haven't had any issues so far, minus the fact that the "linux" package was updated hours before the new 3.7 kernel image appeared for me.

[VinDSL]

I wonder if this is one of those 32-bit vs 64-bit "things"!?!?!?

I should have specified... the 32-bit version is working fine for me. I just need to remember to turn the volume down, when booting into 3.7-rc5. Otherwise, the "congo drums" and so forth, at login, is loud enough to wake the dead. ;)

[jppr]

There is coming new kernel version https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/raring-changes/2012-November/001340.html

I have 64-bit system

[ronacc]

todays 64 bit daily live fails to boot at the same place as the 3.7 kernel for me .

[zenarcher]

Same here. Stops at the KVM switch in my system.

The newest 3.7.0 kernel (-2) is having issues with audio for me. The -1 revision worked fine. KDE's startup sound works, but that's about it. Flash, etc, not working.

EDIT: Looked at another thread in this forum section, explained that pulseaudio had the 32-bit version installed when doing the upgrades and to install the 64-bit version. Worked a treat.

[jppr]

That's the latest version of the kernel doesn´t work for me ... = (

[VinDSL]

Everything still working fine, here...

Continues Raring's miserably slow "autoconnect" tp hidden wireless WPA. Example 4 minutes 25 seconds trying to get any response out of the extremely sluggish "network manager".
Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000

I tried to install WICD which has reports of working where network manager doesn't want to. That involved editing network manager configuration. No idea what that did but the 3.7.0.0 refused to boot.

O.K., this is unstable, boot the latest .iso and re-onstall. Neither Nov 14 or Nov 15 would boot - "initramfs".

I had a back level from Nov 8 which booted installed and updated fine, except bug #1017738 is still very much present. Systems settings > network manager the drop down window try to enter anything and the window just totally ignores keyboard input. For minutes.

On topic, 3.7.0.0 running fine on netbook, notebook, tower with no more bugs and quirks than quantal had.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or may be I just have the right hardware but the latest kernel is running fine here.

I'm still getting a couple of warnings when I install the latest kernel. I suppose they should be reported?

Paul, what kind of warnings are you getting when installing the kernel? I get one about a missing modules directory or something like that. Seems to install and run OK though.

The new kernel sees to have solved the firefox hi-cpu problem.

Boot amd64 doesn't, Nov 16 zsync'd iso dd'd to USB.


Busybox
/mount: mounting aufs on /root failed.
No such device
aufs mount failed
So in busy box I did an ls and there root is along with a bunch of other directories.

I have been getting this error for the last few days...AMD64...so it's not just me.

The kernel 3.7.0-2 is working very well for me. have a look; http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2084921

[nm_geo]

Package linux 3.7.0-2.8-amd64
Worked for me in Lubuntu amd64 13.04 current 20121116.
Interesting Lubuntu spins come in later than Ubuntu

[3vi1]

Both the 3.7 kernels have had problems with my CR-48. When they begin to boot, the video mode doesn't change properly and I'm stuck at a black screen forever instead of seeing plymouth and lightdm (and alt-Fx appears to have no effect).

Now here's the really bad part: After this happens, on every subsequent boot... even after completely powering off... the system will no longer see it's primary hd/ssd. All reboots tell me there's no bootable device.

The only way to recover is to go in to the BIOS and reload the optimal defaults. Then - it will see the SSD on the next boot.

I *can* get 3.7 to boot up successfully, if I hold the shift key during boot and let the boot process halt on the grub screen for a few seconds.

3.5 has/had no problems.

Odd, huh?

[jerrylamos]

Nov 17 daily build did boot and did install, amd64 that is. At least Nov 16, 15, 14, ... did not. Nov 8 did.

Why re-install? the partition space used was

3262656 after a week of apt-get update, dist-upgrade, clean, autoclean, autoremove, and then make sure any old linux-images and linux headers were removed.

2799492 after new install and first update, dist-upgrade.

463164 bytes of left over stuff I couldn't find in the updated one that's not in the new install.

?

Yes, I know I've got disk space, it just is of interest there's almost half a MB laying around doing nothing....
