This bug is awaiting verification that the linux-intel/6.8.0-1009.16 kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-noble-linux-intel' to 'verification-done-noble-linux-intel'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-noble-linux-intel' to 'verification-failed-noble-linux-intel'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
