Christopher, I went to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+source/linux/ and followed the link <show build> which brought me to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+source/linux/+builds. There I found "i386 build of linux 3.11.0-8.15 in ubuntu saucy" on September 20th should be the one, which was working for me. I got the packages from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/3.11.0-8.15 (4 packages, 2 headers, image, image-extra) and installed them. After booting this kernel
hp@hp:~$ uname -a Linux hp 3.11.0-8-generic #15-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 20 04:11:16 UTC 2013 i686 athlon i686 GNU/Linux hp@hp:~$ desktop effects were not available still. This leads to two questions: 1) Was the 3.11.0-8.15 kernel included in the saucy upgrade distribution package when I upgraded to saucy on Sep.25? If not, how can I find out which one was included? I could also try the previous and the next kernel to that one. 2) What makes us believe the problem lies in the kernel and e.g. not in the X server area? regards, Hans-Peter -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1238188 Title: [HP Compaq dc5850 Small Form Factor PC] No desktop effects on a radeon 3100 graphics card in saucy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1238188/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
