Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-image-
I have ubuntu 6.06 installed (no upgrade from Breezy). All packages are from the ubuntu repositories (and very few from PLF). No drivers compiled by myself. System: IBM Thinkpad R52 with an ATI Radeon Mobility M300
Updating from kernel 2.6.15-23 to 2.6.15-25 created a few problems, which still exist in 2.6.15-26:
* DVD and video playback is choppy / jerky (no matter which player I use). This makes the latest kernel useless for me and I've kept using 2.6.15-23 instead.
* Rhythmbox hangs very often when starting (while checking the music library)
* When you have an application starter on a panel and click it, there's this short little animation of an extending frame indicating that the application is started. This animation needs almost 2 seconds (instead of maybe a quarter of a second) to finish and is jerky as well. This is not anything serious but might be a hint for the cause of the problem.
Why I think the kernel update is the cause:
I had an image of my system in a good and working state, made before the update to 2.6.15-25. After discovering the problems I installed this image again. Then I updated linux-image-
