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 ERROR (dkms apport): binary package for nvidia_bl: 0.17.3 not found Error!

Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.11.0-13-generic (x86_64) Consult /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/304.64/build/make.log for more information. 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. -- 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/1091718 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.
