I have had the same problem. After a few clean installs I worked out the problem. It isn't the kernel but the display driver. When you first install ubuntu you need lock the version of the xserver display driver. If you install the updates a new driver version will be installed which makes the screen go haywire.
Instructions (DO THIS BEFORE INSTALLING ANY UPDATES): 1. Go into Synaptic Package Manager 2. Search for: xserver-xorg-video-intel 3. Click Package --> Lock Version You can now install any other updates. -- display corruption after kernel update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/323264 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
