Comment 22 for bug 1332722

Hi,

You've obviously got a frustrating issue so please don't let the following suggestion annoy you; just want to make sure the test you did is fair...

Not sure how you tested other distros but I don't think testing several would be particularly useful; the variances in the kernel bases and what patches each distro has backported creating too many variables. My suspicion would lie with the kernel so replicating the problem with the same upstream kernel would be my priority.

(For example, if it was me - currently running Linux Mint 17.2 with kernel 3.19.0-26-generic, I would probably want to test either with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with the vivid kernel added (i.e. the LTSEnablementStack) to version 3.19.0-26; I think that's the test that removes the most variables.)

However, looking back on your comments, you're using kernel 3.18.6-031806-generic. Where did this come from? It doesn't look distro standard. I'd want to understand where you got this from. If it's your own build, would you be willing to retest Linux Mint but with the latest 3.19 kernel from the Software Manager? (Linux Mint should provide the latest kernels pulled from the same LTS Enablement Stack I believe.)

Sorry if I'm way off mark, but this is what I would do.

Regards,
Bob
