[Daniel Letzeisen (dtl131)]

mesa is a userspace component. Installing an updated kernel will not upgrade mesa. Use the xorg-edgers PPA for that. https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa

[Philip Wyett (philip-wyett-deactivatedaccount)]

This is todays 12.04.2 ISO image for QA testing before release. This release wil have a new kernel and X/mesa bits.

See: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack

If the LTS quantal 3.5.0 kernel as part of this point release is being instaled, then other newer components above should also be.

[Daniel Letzeisen (dtl131)]

I apologize for marking this 'Invalid' if that was unwarranted (though I still don't understand why using a backported/updated kernel should automatically bump/update mesa version).

Because it's a complete hardware enablement stack. You're not supposed to
mix and match components from different stacks, and doing so is untested and
not guaranteed.

This should be fixed in my latest respin of the precise dailies, but I'd like some folks to do some testing and confirm that it all installs and looks sane.

[Adam Conrad (adconrad)]

Verified on IRC that this appears to DTRT with the latest dailies.
