** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Won't Fix -- 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/970788 Title: crash on run after apt-get install Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in powertop package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: $ sudo apt-get install powertop $ sudo powertop <kernel panic follows> Hypothesis: something is set on install so that on next reboot the kernel is ready to deal with powertop? In this case, propose either powertop checks on start if it can run or else, if that's not possible, install emits a warning. If the hypothesis is false, I can't add much more to the bug, I'm afraid, but to note that it happened.
