Hi,

This version of the 1545 with Intel graphics is certified with Ubuntu 11.04, but unfortunately we only test with a fresh install, so don't have any experience with problems caused by upgrading (especially over several versions as in this case). If you want to avoid a fresh install then I would recommend asking your question in the 'Ubuntu' topic or on a public forum to get a better answer as to exactly how to fix this.

Can you help with this problem?
