Thank you Christopher. I updated my BIOS. The output to
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date is 1002 09/27/2013 I will run my backup script a few times to see if the freezing still happens. If it does, I will also try testing the latest upstream kernel again. Perhaps, with the new BIOS, it will boot this time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1387420 Title: System freezes when performing a backup bash script To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1387420/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
