Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS kernel 3.2.0-35 + AMD procs/Nvidia graphics

[NM5TF]

Since installing kernel 3.2.0-34 caused my PC to become unusable, yes I have filed a bug on Launchpad,and only able to use it by regressing back to kernel 3.2.0-33, I am reluctant to install kernel 3.2.0-35...

Has anyone running 12.04.1 LTS with AMD processors + Nvidia graphics had
any problems so far???

TIA,

Tommy

Hi!, NMSTF,

You would probably get more responses if you describe just what it is that you call: "unusable"; is it graphics? or internet? or system?, failure to boot? does it freeze?, or what ???

Also give a link to your Bug report and details of your set up, especially video card and any non-default drivers you have installed.

Well, I have AMD CPU but not Nvidia. You might have issue with the nvidia drivers, I doubt it's related to the cpu.

In fact, two days ago I upgraded my 12.04.1 running the 3.2.0-34 with a new board and AMD A8-5600K APU which has included HD 7560D graphics.

So, I went from a combination of AMD Athlon 4850e + integrated HD 3200 on the board, to the A8-5600K with integrated 7560D in the APU. I just plugged in the same SSD and it worked right away.

After that I activated the fglrx driver, because earlier I was using the radeon driver, never really tried to activate fglrx. Went without any issues.

Then I updated the kernel to 3.2.0-35 and it continues to work fine.

From what I can say with my 3 years of using ubuntu, ATI seems to be much better supported and I like it more too. Make sure that the kernel update is not leaving you without the nvidia driver, so you might need to use nomodeset after every update to boot once and activate the nvidia driver. Or something like that.

I don't think the CPU has anything to do with it, unless you have some rare combination of hardware that it doesn't like.
