Comment 166 for bug 346691

I came across this issue and found that the solution proposed by Lorant Nemeth on comment #122 worked, though with a slight twist. I was unable to install a fresh copy of intrepid because the liveCD could not mount the swap (too lazy to investigate after dealing with this mess), therefore I just installed the liveCD Jaunty 64bit and followed the instructions. So far so good, installed this morning at work and been gradually re-installing all kinds of apps and goodies with frequent reboots.

My specs

Asus M51Sn
4GB Ram
Intel Core2 Duo T8300 @ 2.4GHz
GeForce 9500m GS

Following the instructions, went from Jaunty amd64 live cd with kernel 2.6.28-11-generic to .28-13-generic to .29-02062904-generic before rebooting from install.

If ya don't hear from me in a couple of days, then take it as A solution to this ridiculous bug that ate 5 hrs of me-life. But seriously, other than these minor glitches, good work on the dist, hope to find some time and contribute some code one of these days.

Godspeed!
