OK, so the cause is identified and I see a fix is committed. Can anyone comment on what a course of action could be for someone who just needs to use their machine? It's been nearly a week since the update that caused my machine to become unusable. I'm guessing: either an updated kernel in the regular repository will be coming out in the next few days or it won't... in which case getting a new kernel from -proposed might be the right idea. Comments? Thanks -
