--- Comment #67 from James Lewis james@fsck.co.uk 2009-12-11 09:21:35 --- This advice is Ubuntu 9.10 specific.
It's definitely related to the kernel, I upgraded my kernel from the mainline verison here:-
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.32/
dpkg -i linux-headers-2.6.32-020632_2.6.32-020632_all.deb dpkg -i linux-headers-2.6.32-020632-generic_2.6.32-020632_amd64.deb dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.32-020632-generic_2.6.32-020632_amd64.deb
And rebooted,
The first time I booted some of the panel applets failed to load, but I selected "do not remove", and after a second attempt they were all ok.
Eve now works.
It screwed up Virtualbox, and I had to un-install 3.0.8 from synaptic and use 3.1 from Virtualbox' site, but other than that, no problems so far.
