Gnome desktop does not respond after kernel upgade, ubuntu


Running ubuntu 10.04LTS (yes I've realised it's out of date, today!), and upgrades still come through. Yesterday I installed a Kernel upgrade, 2.6.32-61 and the Gnome UI has stopped working. The mouse is active but click on an icon and nothing happens. Any suggestions please.

Reboot and choose the old (working) kernel from the boot menu, is my first suggestion.

10.04 Server is still supported (so you will get updates to the kernel and core libraries through 2015) but any bugs with the Gnome UI will never, ever be fixed because Desktop is out of support. Therefore I recommend to upgrade to 14.04 (supported through 2019) or another supported distro of your choice.
