From 27f44b9bb162dce988913b981f1f21eb149d875f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: dragon788 Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2014 18:04:18 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Add link to Ubuntu notes about LTSEnablementStack When running Ubuntu with a graphical environment, the kernel version MUST match the Xorg version. Only installing the suggested packages above breaks Unity for anything other than 2D mode (in VMware and probably native).
