Kernel error [with no readily observable effects] while running Ubuntu from LiveCD (possibly related to display rotation or Wacom hardware)

[Pseudonymous Rex]

Your auto-bug-reporting system seems to be broken. I don't see how to get the information requested into this box; the dialog says it will be/is being sent automatically, but I can't detect any indication that that is so. Maybe when I have more time I'll try to figure it out. Meanwhile, if there's as little information in this "report" as I think there is, please delete it.

I see the information is here after all. I hope it's of some use to someone. The dialog that prompts the user to report the bug/error/crash/whatever it said implies that the whole process will be automatic; when it turns out that you need to create an account to submit the report, if you actually go through with it, you just get a blank form with no indication that there is also hidden information attached to it, and I concluded that something was broken.

The error appeared while I was trying to see if Gimp would correctly detect my tablet device (Wacom integrated display/tablet with stylus, part of the Toshiba Satellite R10). It didn't.

Hi Pseudonymous,

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 479680

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.
