As bleeding-edge as it gets I guess. Unfortunately the USB boot falls back upon a textmode console where I see repeated error messages from mei_me (apparently on one of many systems that don't like its inclusion) as in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1196155 > If the issue remains, could you please run [apport-collect -p linux 1203520] > in the development release from a Terminal > (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and > attach updated debug information to this report" Not getting so far as even a text-mode root prompt is not made available after this: "The installer" (heart-skips-a-beat: wasn't this supposed to be a non-destructive Live CD?) "encountered an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will now be run so that you may investigate the problem or try installing again." Even if it did continue to a GUI after that, I'm not sure it could help since the Nvidia driver (proprietary but needed on about half of the world's systems) cannot usually be loaded in a Live environment, but may be contributing to the causes for this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1203520 Title: 10de:1040 snd_hda_codec_hdmi (via pavucontrol or applications playing sound) freezes Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin freezes most of the time when trying to use HDMI audio (in particular from google-talkplugin, mplayer, vdr- sxfe, vlc, xine) up to and including the current Kernel 3.2.0-49 without putting snd_hda_codec_hdmi on the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist- oss.conf (thereby losing sound over the Nvidia outputs). Invoking pavucontrol with snd_hda_codec_hdmi loaded almost always results in a crash that makes even Ctrl-Alt-SysRq inaccessible. Freezes also occurred with both hw and plughw devices of the Nvidia HDMIs under ALSA when pulseaudio had been uninstalled for testing. According to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1173769 #3 there is "a kernel issue which most likely is to happen with Nvidia graphics", this is also not fixed by using https://code.launchpad.net /~ubuntu-audio-dev/+archive/alsa-daily/+files/oem-audio-hda-daily- dkms_0.201307180553%7Eprecise1_all.deb according to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1169984 #16. New bug as identified by David Henningsson (diwic) to have different causes than https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-desktop- tests/+bug/1169984 at #119 et seq. Blacklisting is the supposed fix in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1181616 and http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2012/05/msg00110.html but not the solution if HDMI audio is needed. --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
