Ubuntu Trusty 20160217 amd64 is still affected so I doubt that a fix will land for 14.04.4. That will be problematic for less advanced users affected because both the Wily and the updated Trusty images offered from the main download page(s) will fail to work.
To me the obvious simple "workaround" is to recommend using the archived 14.04.1 images that still use the 3.13 series kernel as these are not affected. The one caveat that those writing release notes and/or release announcements is when we recommend using the archived 14.04.1 images we must be certain to warn of ubiquity bug #1265192 so users don't inadvertently wipe out existing data. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1507255 Title: Garbled graphics in Wily with Intel GMA4500 chip To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/1507255/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
