Upgraded to saucy 13.10. Now freezes on boot when using kernel newer than 3.8

[stbvision]

Hello everyone!



I upgraded lubuntu 12.10 -> 13.10. After this I'm unable to boot with current kernel version. Computer freezes on "lubuntu"-screen with white/blue dots and I cannot switch TTYs using key-combinations (Ctrl-Alt-F1 - F6).

When I investigate freezing-point using grub2's recovery mode -option I found out that computer freezes at line "starting cups-browsed - Bonjour remote printer browsing daemon [OK]".


Machine boots fine to 13.10 with older kernel (3.8.0-31-generic) but not with kernel versions newer than this.


Specs:

-AMD Sempron Processor 3300+
-766MB memory
-ATI Radeon 9600


I can use computer with this workaround, but I like to figure out more stabile solution. Is there any changes to get newer kernel to boot with my hardware?

This happens from time to time.
A fix might be in progress. You could just wait and see what the next kernel update brings.

This happens every time to me with this computer.

I have tried to investigate is this a known bug, but I haven't found out for sure.

I'm glad to hear that this is a common problem, so this could be fixed in future kernel versions.

I can't tell if this particular problem is common, but the general class of problems (a new kernel introducing a bug) is. The developers can't test a kernel on any given combination of hardware.

I wouldn't report it for now, but if it persists through a couple of new kernels please do.
