Comment 21 for bug 1682184

Mainline v4.10 seems to have fixed the issue.

However, now I am getting a Bluetooth error on startup. This does not seem to impact actual use though as I can still do an audio sync and stream to my main receiver.

Up and running for over an hour with VirtualBox, MySQL, Eclipse, Thunderbird and Chrome operating smoothly (I am primarily a Java developer).

painter@merlin:~$ uptime
 14:44:22 up 1:11, 1 user, load average: 0.28, 0.20, 0.16

This kernel is also working nicely with the NVIDIA drivers (the 4.11 wouldn't load).

Thanks!
