Ubuntu Crash's Everytime i try to run Network Commands as Root (Sudo) rMBP

**jasonelmore** · April 25th, 2013

My Ubuntu is Crashing everytime i try to run a network command in root mode or sudu.

Otherwise the os runs fine. I'm running the Latest amd64 Bleeding Edge Version of Ubuntu.

Examples:

sudo iwconfig: Crash's to black screen everytime
iwconfig: works fine

I've tried other commands in Sudo mode and they also crash the OS requiring a reboot.
Here is the error screen i get when the OS Crash's. I'm sorry about it's size.

I have a 15" Retina MacBook Pro and installed ubuntu using THIS guide

Any help would be appreciated. I really need to run network commands in root/sudo mode and really need to get this fixed.

Thanks

That guide is clearly for the pre-release versions of 13.04, now that it is officially released you should only be using the standard download.

Thanks for the reply.

Is there anyway to convert to the standard version without doing a complete uninstall and reinstall?

Also do you think the crash's would stop?

Installed the Latest Version from Ubuntu Website today, and i still get a automatic crash when doing any sort of Network Commands using Sudo.

Any help would be appreciated. (i'm betting it has to do with Retina Macbook Pro Drivers)

Can someone point me in the right direction of how i might update them or if that would even help? thanks
