This bug is awaiting verification that the 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-trusty' to 'verification-done-trusty'.

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!

Thanks, I just verified the commits in the utopic and Trusty kernel repository and the patches seems fine. I will test the proposed kernel on trusty and let you know.

Thank you

Hi,

How do I try the proposed kernel? I tried to enable it using the trusty-proposed distribution, but there is no ppc64el binaries there.
I added the following line to my apt/sources.list:

         deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-proposed restricted main multiverse universe

Anyway, I was expecting to have ppc64el binaries at http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-proposed/main/, but I can't find them.

Breno,

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -u dist-upgrade

This should upgrade your kernel to Ubuntu-3.13.0-30.54. Failing that you caan find binaries at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/3.13.0-30.54
