I'm running Lubuntu 14.04 on a HP Mini 5103 and after an upgrade yesterday I get a perfectly reproducable kernel panic.
- Kernel that panics: 3.16.0-57
- Kernel that doesn't panic: 3.16.0-56
Maybe related, but for the past half year or so, whenever I saw a notice for new updates and I tried to install them, sometimes (part of) the updates install fine and other times I get some error. When I try to submit the error, it asks for my password. Then this password dialog crashes when I confirm and spawns another report error dialog that asks for password again, which crashes again, etc...
My current workaround is to hold [shift] every time I turn on the computer and select the previous kernel, but I don't want to keep doing this. What I like is to:
- Uninstall this offensive kernel, or
- Select the previous kernel as default.
