Kernel 3.7-rc1

**zika** · November 9th, 2012

For the first time in years 999 (daily) is a clear no-boot-er on my machine... It even makes monitor cry...

Update: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...8&postcount=13 it seems that this kind of 3.7 (still) works...

I tried to install the proprietary nVidia drivers, but the installer didn't like 3.7-rc4 -- with, or without DKMS.

So, I'm back to "nvidia-current-updates"...

You could also try X Updates PPA (Ubuntu X Team).
There is this nvidia-current_304.64.
It is for quantal, but RR is exactly the same now.
That one accepts all these:
xorg-video-abi-11 | xorg-video-abi-12 | xorg-video-abi-13

Thanks, Harry!

I'm on the trot, right now.

Will do, when I return to the abode...

**VinDSL** · November 9th, 2012

BTW, I noticed that "acpid" is being held-back in Synaptic, because I don't have KMOD installed -- KMOD was causing problems for me, when it first hit the repos.

Is KMOD working for everyone (else) now?!?!?

Working here fine.
I think it was fixed a while ago.

I also tried that one (304.64 - X updates PPA).
Couldn't build kernel module for 3.7.0 rc4 from the kernel PPA.
The xorg edgers version (310.14 beta) works fine.

Everything is OK now?

Code:

serdotlinecho@raring:~$ dpkg -l | egrep "module-init-tools|kmod"
ii  kmod                                      9-2ubuntu3                                  i386         tools for managing Linux kernel modules

Interesting!

This is the first attempt at installing a kernel, since I re-instated KMOD.

Oh, well. Gives me something to do this afternoon...

Thanks, Paul!

**VinDSL** · November 11th, 2012

Hrm...

It's inexplicable, but it worked, despite all the errors

Never had that happen before!

I booted into Gnome-Shell, expecting it to go into fallback mode, but...
