https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1326822 I have also found the same workaround from Google http://osdir.com/ml/ubuntu-bugs/2014-08/msg10478.html Presumably then this is not a Kernel issue. I did work through the guidelines before filing this though. Could you please advise the next step. I bought this with Ubuntu pre- installed to avoid having to do an install from scratch so would prefer not to go down that route.

Have only just bought this laptop and one of it's uses will be to play programs recorded on mythtv from our PVR when away from home, hence reason for upgrading to same release. Have looked at Kernel Debugging Wiki and not sure what is relevant for this issue.
