Public bug reported: I upgraded to this new kernel this morning and after rebooting, 2 applications failed to work (consistently).
These apps are: google-chrome-stable=27.0.1453.110-r202711 - process runs but no UI is visible skype=4.0.0.8-0lucid1 - UI is visible but connection to network never happens While originally trying to figure out what was going on I rebooted a few times and observed some other issues. Each of these was only observed once. compiz=1:0.8.4-0ubuntu15.3 failed to start (no window manager) USB mouse failed to work GDM visual glitches I ran strace /opt/google/chrome/chrome and observed that the last thing it did was a call to futex. Booting the 2.6.32-60 kernel made these programs work. I've updated my grub config to boot this kernel by default as a workaround.
