Hi everyone,

I think this bug is not solved on 12.04 LTS. If it's a kernel bug, the patch should be backported to the latest official 12.04 kernel and delivered via normal software update.

Some people suggested for example to update to kernel v. 3.3.6 available here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.3.6-precise . That kernel is more than one year old and does not contain many important security fixes. If start using something like this, maybe should update to the latest kernel from kernel.org and compile it. I think most of the users don't want to do that.

I run many computers with 12.04 without problems, but I have fatal and occasional freezes only with my newest Intel Ivy Birdge laptop. (see #774)

Hoping for the fix, please. Thanks.
