Hello
I tried to upgrade my notebook to Lubuntu 16.04 from 14.04 and it failed. It is a ASUS M2400N. To upgrade it from 12.04 to 14.04, I had to add the PAE flag and had to install the linux-image-generic-pae. Here is the summary from hardinfo.
-Computer-
Processor : Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.70GHz
Memory : 1248MB (465MB used)
Operating System : Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS
User Name : user (User)
Date/Time : Sex 29 Abr 2016 19:06:34 BRT
-Display-
Resolution : 1024x768 pixels
OpenGL Renderer : Unknown
X11 Vendor : The X.Org Foundation
-Multimedia-
Audio Adapter : ICH4 - Intel 82801DB-ICH4
-Input Devices-
Sleep Button
Lid Switch
Power Button
AT Translated Set 2 keyboard
SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad
Video Bus
Asus Laptop extra buttons
-Printers-
No printers found
-SCSI Disks-
ATA WDC WD1600BEVE-0
TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-R2512
Due to minor problems which I was having, as the first letter in searches being ignored, a part where the boot stopped for a long time (ASUS_laptop CWAP, I'm unsure right now), missing icons, well, many minor things, I decided to upgrade the system. It worked with my desktop perfectly, so I supposed it would be fine to upgrade the notebook too.
It wasn't.
There was a part where I was sure there would be errors: the kernel upgrade. And there were errors, but the upgrade was still fine. However, when installing IrDA, the computer froze. Completely froze. When I am using the notebook, it's normal to hear when the processor is working. It completely stopped, the disk stopped, nor NumLock nor CapsLock were working, Ctrl+Alt+Fnumber didn't work. Absolutely nothing was working. After a long time, I had to turn it off keeping the shutdown button pressed and it took a long time (longer than other times) to turn off.
Sadly, the lxtask window was partly in front of the terminal. I was able to read " IrDA: script fa" only. I suppose it "failed".
Obviously, the system was no longer booting, but I was able to restore the files and the configurations. Now I am with 14.04 version using forcepae instead of a PAE kernel. It is faster now and there are no longer that annoying bugs, probably the upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 was not that smooth as I imagined or the PAE kernel was problematic.
I am posting this here because there is no log, so I don't have much technical information about.
Thank you.
