3.19 final

[aljosa2]

hi 9d9,
thanks for your reply.
no, now this system is not a fresh installation, but few months ago it was a fresh installation of ubuntu 14.04.1.

i'm not an expert, but i think that these errors are asus, bios related, expression of antipathy for open software. i just don't know if it is something dangerous, or something that i don't need to worry about.

in the next few days, i will make a clean installation of the new ubuntu 14.04.2 on both notebooks (with kernel 3.19). but before doing that, i would like to solve the touchpad problem at the first place, and if possible - the nvidia problem too

there is nothing 'dangerous' about acpi, only possible strange things happening (fans static, .... and harmless verbose logs)
maybe your laptops can have a bios update, check on http://support.asus.com/download.asp...=en-us&m=tools

also check /var/log/syslog and/or dmesg to know about something usefull logged

thanks for you advice, yes every few days i'm checking asus pages, but nothing new on the horizon

on "N750JV" similar errors disappeared by upgrading BIOS to 210 version (released 2014/04/29)

on "X750JN" situation remains the same despite BIOS upgrading to version 205 (released 2014/11/05), and installation of kernel 3.19 which brings improvements for elantech touchpad.

do you have any problem by using systemd? can you suggest it in this moment to someone who wants to have a stable system?

i does not know that laptop, but you may have the best results using the recent release (vivid) with the latest kernel (avoid rc 1->4 because of possible instability) (i'm using the canonical-kernel ppa to get automated proposed upgrade).
that is , i suppose your chipset(s) hardware is not fully supported yet (check the logs to know about a warning/error in case of)
by the way, about acpi, if your laptop is not too hot, noisy or often crash, then no need to scratch your head.

i've tried 14.10 but wasn't satisfied, i find 14.04 much better.
bring in mind that while i'm very interested in ubuntu development, my wife doesn't care at all - and you can't say that she is wrong

can you please give me exact instructions how to do that

everything seems ok

I am using the (final) 3.19.0-031900 kernel with Ubuntu 14.04 Server and I am seeing the 'Magrathea' message in dmesg:
