[sf-lug] machine fails to wake fully from suspend

[Alison Chaiken]

There's no reason to compile the kernel whatsoever.   Either Ubuntu or
Debian repositories can provide new packages.   Edit
/etc/apt/sources.list to add a new repository that has, as Rick
suggested, a newer stable kernel.    Type

apt-get update
apt-cache pkgnames | grep linux-image

Pick the newest 3.10 one and type

apt-get install <pkgname>

You should get the headers you need to, and grub2 will run and modify
/boot/grub for you.   With an up-to-date Ubuntu, you will have grub2,
so you SHOULD NOT use an editor to configure grub.    See the wondrous
Shallow Thoughts blog of the marvelous Akkana for some wise thoughts
on both grub2 and kernel compilation.

Compiling your own kernel is fun, of course, but if you're trying to
solve a different problem, that's not how I would start!

Good luck,
Alison
