Kubuntu 12.04.3 Installation Problems

[John Koch]

I was running Kubuntu 12.04 on an HP Elitebook 8540p with 8GB RAM and Nvidia GPU This was installed on a external Western Digital My Passport 500GB No issues were encountered and the system operated normally

Overtime, I have to assume as upgrades where installed, the system began to develop problems.

First is was: ata_id[XXX] HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for '/dev/sdb': Invalid argument Then later I got: intel ipc turbo graphics disabled

After hours of reading forums and trying different fixes I managed to screw up the system to where a reinstall was necessary.

My questions are why does the system operate perfectly from the live CD and not the installed system?
Why is there now the need for the turbo graphics work around?
Why does the acpi=off grub parameter need to there?
Why does the current installer not pick up these issues?

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Presumably this problem was a one time occurrence and/or is no longer an issue? Can the bug report now be closed? If we do not hear from you the bug report will close itself in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu better.
