Dear sirs,
after a few minutes of updating the kernel the system was freezing
especially
when i open a folder or an internet browser and since i am a newbie i
did that stupid thing which is using a program called kernel chick to
update my
kernel with just a click and after successfully and restarting
many problems started to appear like (close, minimize, maximize buttons
disappeared from all the windows and applications
I am sorry for doing that stupid thing but I didnt want to bother you
with another ticket
so can I do something to fix the broken kernel ? or I have to install
ubuntu 9.10 all over again
thank you very much gor your support
Ibrahim

Ibrahim,
After bootup, do:
$ dmesg > dmesg.txt
You can browse the dmesg.txt for information about the
agrmodem+agrserial modem drivers,and dkms action during bootup
Test your audio.
Then run the:
$ sudo agrsm-test
and report back
