How to fix Xubuntu 12.04.4?

[PK]

I don't agree with this. In my opinion, Xubuntu 12.04 should stay with the
3.2.x-kernel.

Because it's currently the only kernel (plus the X.org version that goes
with it) that still supports the restricted nvidia-96 driver for old Nvidia
video cards. Same goes for third-party SiS 671 drivers.

Regards, Pjotr.
