Aquí te dejo otro ppa para instalar el nuevo kernel:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
solo una cosa este ppa es para pruebas algunos paquetes podrían tener bugs
copio y pego notas del ppa:
*IMPORTANT NOTICE* - If you are upgrading from one release to another and are using this PPA, be sure to install ppa-purge and use it to downgrade all of this PPA's packages before the upgrade or you will have a broken system.
== Xorg packages fresh from git. ==
* For less fresh, more stable updates, see
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates* For single driver updates, see
https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+arc ... ivers-onlySee
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XorgOnTheEdge for a script that installs and runs the test packages in a live CD/media session, for quick and easy temporary testing.
To revert to official packages, you can install the ppa-purge package and run "sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers". If you have driconf it is recommended to remove ~/.drirc when changing versions!
All:
libdrm's epoch was accidentally bumped in this PPA, if you updated between 05-12 and 05-16 please run this command to fix it or it will no longer update! Sorry for the inconvenience.
Lucid:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libdrm-dev/lucid libdrm2/lucid libdrm-nouveau1/lucid libdrm-radeon1/lucid libdrm-intel1/lucid
Maverick:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libdrm-dev/maverick libdrm2/maverick libdrm-nouveau1/maverick libdrm-radeon1/maverick libdrm-intel1/maverick
== New in Maverick ==
xserver 1.9 is in which breaks all of the ABI's again, the standard deal about binary drivers being broken applies.
== New in Lucid ==
Mesa in this PPA now provides a libgl1-mesa-dri-gallium package containing Gallium DRI drivers as well as the vmware X driver which allows virtualized 3D support. If this package is installed then the Gallium versions will be used by default, they are highly experimental so expect breakage if you use it and please do not report bugs on launchpad.
Nouveau in this PPA requires a 2.6.34 (or higher) based kernel and lbm-nouveau has been deprecated. There is one in here (The 2.6.35-1 maverick kernel at the moment) that will work and mainline kernels with lucid based configs will work as well.
Xserver 1.8 is now available, this brings with it multiple ABI bumps and drivers from lucid are not compatible with the ones in here. fglrx will not work at all, do not use this PPA if you need it.
== New in Karmic ==
Radeon r6xx/r7xx 3D support. Install a 2.6.32 kernel or newer from the Mainline Kernel PPA or from lucid.
== New in Jaunty ==
Intel: After 2.9.0 the driver needs kernel mode-setting, install a Karmic kernel or see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting how to set i915.modeset=1
The r6xx-r7xx branch of libdrm has been merged into the drm-snapshot package and will provide 3D acceleration for some ATI cards like RS600, and EXA acceleration for many R600 and R700 cards.
== Notes for Hardy ==
xorg-server has been upgraded to 1.5 which needs rebuilt input/video drivers. When installing xserver-xorg-core it will remove all old input/video drivers. Then you'll have to install the new drivers from this repo. You might need to add the server flag Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false" in xorg.conf if you have trouble with mouse and keyboard.
Special features in the Hardy packages:
* Support (incl 3D) for Intel 4 series chipsets (Q45/Q43/G45/G43).
* 3D support for ATI R5xx cards (and RS400/RC4xx) with the -ati driver (use Option AccelMethod "EXA" in your xorg.conf). Do not install the -radeonhd if you just want to use the -ati driver, otherwise you will have to specify the correct driver in xorg.conf. To use AIGLX and compiz you'll need the updated xserver-xorg-core.
== Important notice ==
This PPA is currently meant to be used as a whole. Please do _not_ individually install packages from it, add it to your sources and let your package manager pull in every update. The packages here build against each other and compile different features based on whats available at build time. Do not assume that because it lets you install a DDX with just the driver and libdrm update that it will work. These packages are made with scripts that use the the current packages as the base, so some dependencies can be wrong and your package manager will not resolve that for you. If you want to individually install something from here, grab the source and rebuild it in your current environment instead.
** Please do not publish instructions for how to install from this archive without linking to this page! Anyone using packages from this archive is expected to read this page first and it is recommended to check back occasionally for notice on problems that may arise. **
