Small notes ...
I note a minor inconvenience to any advancement of kernel or better, for each cleaning of the old kernel. Usually after a small trial of the new kernel, I use delete the old, apparently without problems. When I restart the system I find this notice:
"Ubuntu is running in low-graphic mode

The following error was encountered . You may need
to update your configuration to solve this.

[EE] Failed to load /usr/libxorg/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so
[EE] Failed to load module "radeon" (loader failed, 7)
[EE] No drivers avaiable."
It's clearly that it does not find this module, even if I do not understand why, because I was using the new kernel for some time. After all I just removed the old.
The crude solution is still quite simple.
Unlocks libgl1-mesa-dri and update all. Then proced to re-downgrade libgl1-mesa-dri and restart Xserver.
Is it common such behavior?
