I'm having significant problems with LibreOffice Write with kernel 4.4.0-66, but not with 64. The program won't allow text to be highlighted and locks up one core of my CPU. A graceful shutdown of Write is not allowed and even Ubuntu won't shut down without a manual switch off. Am also having pr

Chris, downloading an .iso with the slow EDGE Inet connection available here in rural India is not feasible. Would running apport with the current Ubuntu version and the new BIOS be helpful? I can probably update the kernel to the latest upstream kernel if that would be useful too, though the 3.8

Chris, After installing the latest available mainline kernel build version for Raring - 3.9.0-030900rc8 - the video problem again is gone. On UbuntuForums this kernel had good reviews, especially regarding the way it fixes Intel video problems on laptops, so it seems to have done the trick. I'll
