Bug outdated by new package version linux-2.6.24-25, which works perfectly.

Hi amm,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 454647

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Apologies for late response.
I tried to explain in post sent on 2009-10-2, that this bug was solved with linux-2.6.24-25 release.
I wasn't aware that I had to remove the "needs-upstream-testing" tag as explained, which I have done now.
Hope that this closes the issue. Should I do anything else, please let me know.
Regards.
