We are on the way then. We'll end up here. http://www.iloveubuntu.net/ubuntu-1304-feature-38-linux-kernel

3.8 is going to be critical.

Baked in support of the power-switching half of Nouveau Optimus.

#4

Nice!

I totally borked my 13.04 desktops (linux 3.6.6 & 3.7-rc4 -- Unity & GS), this morning, by installing "caffeine-indicator" in Raring. I even killed LightDM. LoL! :D

Thank heavens for "ppa-purge"!

I'll see if I can break it again with 3.7.0-0... ;)

EDIT

Works on my LegacyStein machine.

vindsl@Zuul:~$ uname -sr
Linux 3.7.0-0-generic

Er... we're not supposed to be using 'raring-proposed' or are we?!?!?

#5

That's progress.

#6

I'm probably going to sticks with 12.10+PPAs until the first major breakage passes. Gonna be a bit more conservative this cycle.

I have a separate /home, but these breakages tend to hit at the worst possible times.

Haven't seen much with the installs vs. the apt-source raring change. I do run 2 partitions and alternate updates/installs since things do break.

So far, apt-cache search linux-image hasn't turned up anything past 3.5.0-17 here in the States. Patience, Hortense.

#8

Thanks Philinux. That link is about bang-on (current) where we are at right now. I noted that Leanna expresses much appreciation for our (community) crack testing. Nice to hear. :)

I'm just north of you ... using the Main Server .repos /proposed/Canonical partners/ enabled.

I am using proposed on all my raring installs. Then I have some installs on an HP and others where I am just using /proposed/ only , unchecking all Quantal security updates - just to see what happens. So far .. so good. No smoke yet ... lol :)

@vinDSL,

Did you get caffeine-indicator from the noobslab ppa?

I want to try it on a new install.

Thanks in advance :)

ventrical said: @vinDSL,

Thanks in advance :) Yes, from the noobslab PPA, and it blew up my Raring install(s).

To be fair, it was made for Quantal -- didn't have anything available for Raring.

sudo ppa-purge ppa:noobslab/indicators

...took care of it, if you feel like rolling the dice. ;)

#14

Ahh .. thanks a million again. Yep .. I am going to try it. I tired these (below) but I got a 'failed to fetch' error.

Ok.. I had to download ppa-purge lol

gessh..

#17

Heh! Isn't hacking fun?!?!? :D

#18

It's a riot ! lol I just watched a video where it was said we will be getting some dog biscuits (dog fooding) to chew on soon :) hahahehaehaehhaha !

EDIT:

Gee .. I got to curb my enthusiasm :)

#19

Running the kernel on Quantal.

Feels good, man.

#20

I got xwayland to work with it, 3.5.0-18 would not.

Hrm...

I've always run -proposed repos, in the past, but...

There are a lot of packages being held-back in 'raring-proposed' right now -- enough that I don't feel comfortable doing a partial upgrade.

I'll be patient for a day, or so, but I'm thinking about disabling 'raring-proposed', especially if a lot of packages are gonna be put on hold...

#22

I installed 3.7 in my Precise-Nadia Mint 14 installation. It works very well. No crashes. All apps work.

You can read about what I did here;

Good day!:)

#23

I'm gonna dump 3.7.0-0 and go back to 3.7-rc5.

I compared it to the ProcVersionSignature.


vindsl@Zuul:~$ uname -sr && cat /proc/version_signature
Linux 3.7.0-0-generic
Ubuntu 3.7.0-0.5-generic **[COLOR="Red"]3.7.0-rc4[/COLOR]**

Seems like a step backwards...

On a new install I did yesterday on one of my regular machines the 3.7.0-0 kernel appears to be acting benign in a sense that Unity 3D does not have the snappiness that some of the Quantal alphas had. There also seems to be a slowdown between disk-data transfer times - it just may be the old Maxtor I am using but it worked just fine before. I'll try an EIDE.

Raring-Proposed: W: GPG error: http://archive.ubuntu.com raring-proposed Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>

It seems that there is problem on the source, I've tried all methods here I know of...

Due to over-beating of 1+ year old install (all time testing, more than 20 WM installed, Mate was the last straw that it struggled with for a week...) I reinstalled...

  1. Raring-daily LiveCD boots into native install. Surprise... Unusable... ;(
  2. Install from Quantal: great experience, everything works out-of-the-box...
  3. Upgraded to Raring to learn that: linux-image linux-image-generic linux-headers-generic are not installed. I've installed them. Was I wrong?

seems devs have found the solution to set "proposed" off :P

No, it is not off, it works, just unauthenticated... I've just installed 3.7 again... ;)

It is working well here zika. Also the daily USB install is actually installable to hdd. Does not come with 3.7.0-0, just 3.5.x-x. I'm using MAIN server and/or Canada.

I got the unauthenticated error a while back but it appeared to heal itself.

Just updated again .. nothing held back from /proposed/.

I don“t have any chance to start the machine 3.7 kernel, system freezes immediately. 3.5 kernel works without problems.

Yes, all is good now.

-proposed lives to fight another day... but, I'm keeping an eye on him. ;)

#33

update, dist-upgrade this morning and 3.7 is included for the first time. I'll check to see if it boots and is still a Firefox memory hog on my pc's as reported in this forum.

Just rebooted: % memory Firefox 3.7.0.0 about 12%.

% memory Firefox 3.5.7.0-17 24%.

BTW, 1 GB netbook, 1.6 gHz 32 bit dual processors.

It is nice to see that lowlatency came along...
