Hi,
I was very happy with my sony and kubuntu (10.4) before upgrading to maverick.
I was using the sony-VGN-Zseries-janitor script and everything was ok.
I mainly used the intel card since I need battery duration.
I received an error while upgrading to maverick and I finished the
upgrade with apt-get -f install and apt-get dist-upgrade.
Now I am able to use the nvidia card but not the intel one: the
systems hangs and I have to turn it off using the button.

I tried Adam's kernel linux-image-2.6.36-0-vaioz_2.6.36-0.1_amd64.deb:
I am able to boot with the intel card but KDE desktop effects are
disabled.
I also received these errors during Adam's kernel installation:
dkms_autoinstaller: sony-laptop-zseries (0.9np7): Installing module on
kernel 2.6.36-0-vaioz.
dkms_autoinstaller: (bad exit status: 10)
dkms_autoinstaller:   Build failed.  Installation skipped.
dkms_autoinstaller: nvidia-current (260.19.06): Installing module on
kernel 2.6.36-0-vaioz.
dkms_autoinstaller: (bad exit status: 10)
dkms_autoinstaller:   Build failed.  Installation skipped.

Is it a conflict with the sony-VGN-Zseries-janitor script ?

Could someone suggest me the correct way to proceed?
It is a problem of the broken upgrade or it is a problem with the new kernels?

Thanks,
pier
