@ngsupb, We used the vanilla versions corresponding to whatever was the stable Ubuntu kernel at the time, for that release. (We didn't go to 2.6.30.) Here's the Ubuntu-to-vanilla lookup table: http://kernel.ubuntu.com /~kernel-ppa/info/kernel-version-map.html Good luck! -- Slow SATA performanc

I think the bug has more to do with the gail message than the assertion itself. I don't really know what gail is, but http://directory.fsf.org/project/GAIL/ says "'GAIL' is a GTK+ module that provides accessibility support for GTK+ and libgnomecanvas". A few programs started crashing for me yeste

The sudo+hostname bug/inconvenience happened to me. I hosed my hosts file when upgrading from 7.04 to 8.04. Sudo didn't want to do anything, but gksudo worked fine. The network-dependent sudo failed, but the X11-dependent gksudo was OK. Redundancy saves the day. -- sudo shouldn’t ABSOLUTELY NEED
