> gouri, did this problem not occur in a release prior to Saucy?
Short answer: yes, from quantal.
But that too short answer hides important information.
Long answer:
Before Saucy (13.10), the machine ran 12.10 (quantal).
There was not this exact symptom but a similar one, which I reported in bug #1132129.
It may have started with kernel 3.5.0-23 in the form of crash and oops.
Then it apparently evolved : no more oops but just failing ports.
Hello Christopher,
Thank you for your interest.
