[Bug 1091718] Re: 3.7 kernel and network manager do not play nicely in kubuntu raring

 

Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to make this switch to a mainline
kernel.  Perhaps you can help me.

I'm using a macbook Pro, running Kubuntu 13.10, although still using
3.5.0-19.  When I try to install 3.12

"sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.11.0-13-generic linux-
headers-3.11.0-13"

It installs, but throws the following errors:

run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms 3.11.0-13-generic /boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-13-generic
ERROR (dkms apport): binary package for btusb: 1.0.6 not found

Unfortunately, nvidia_bl isn't available for raring yet - and I'm not
sure why btusb is a problem.  However, I'm not sure how to proceed.  If
you could give me advice - should I try this anyhow?

I've uninstalled the 3.11 kernels in the meantime.

Title:
  3.7 kernel and network manager do not play nicely in kubuntu raring

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Sorry - Ubuntu-bug didn't give me suitable options, and clearly some
  of the information it's reporting is just incorrect .

  I upgraded kubuntu 12.10 to 13.04 last night, and observed the update-
  initramfs bug
  (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kmod/+bug/1073062).  Upon
  restart, KDE loads, but NetworkManager takes 100% cpu, and fails to
  allow wireless connections. (Changing the backend from NetworkManager
  to Wicd does not help.)

  However, if you restart and select the 3.5 kernel instead of 3.7
  kernel, the problem disappears completely.

  I'm happy to help debug and provide further information if you can
  tell me what it is that's needed.
