You have been subscribed to a public bug: After updating Ubuntu with apt which includes a kernel update to 4.4.0-64-generic, the system freezes shortly after it boots into the gui. There are no issues booting with kernel 4.4.0-62
It might be caused by WiFi. I have an USB wifi module. When i remove it, Ubuntu with kernel 4.4.0-64 starts without freezing. As soon as I plug it in the system Freezes instantly. It seems theat I'm not the only one experiencing freezes with this new kernel update. Maybe the security patch is breaking something essential: http://askubuntu.com/questions/886374/ubuntu-16-04-kernel-4-4-0-64 -generic-freezes-after-login-screen/886799 Unfortunately Launchpad does not allow to file bugs for Ubuntu directly. It only redirects to wiki page which assumes the OS is still in operational state - major fail. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: bot-comment -- Kernel 4.4.0-64-generic freezes on gui https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1669577 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
