My computer running Lucid -- and before the upgrade -- Karmic -- on a 64-bit AMD platform has locked up twice with the screensaver under Lucid. It only does it once in a while. Another time it almost locked up but I was able to get it back after repeated slaps at the Esc key. Unfortunately, I did not look to see what the screensaver is named. It was the one where columns of green text-like figures slide vertically down the screen on a black background. -- [r128 1002:5446] Selecting the Molecule screensaver makes the PC freeze.

Screensaver Molecule freezes computer. I found my solution. Go into root by $ sudo -i, give password, and then at root# rm /usr/lib/xscreensaver/molecule, and then root# rm /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/molecule.xml, and then remove from the gnome-screensaver # rm /usr/lib/gnome-screensaver/molecule. I went and uninstalled the entire package gnome-screensaver and this removed the settings at menu System | Preferences | Screensaver. So had to install the gnome-screensaver package again, and the download did not have those screensavers listed. I used the Synaptic Package Manager listed in menu System, and also did a backup. Here's my references URL http://www.debianadmin.com/simple-package-management-with-synaptic- package-manager-in-ubuntu.html , and the for sbackup URL http://www.ubuntugeek.com/backup-and-restore-your-ubuntu-system-using- sbackup.html . Mine is fine now, and using another image for screensaver with settings. Thanks to everyone for your help. Karen -- [r128 1002:5446] Selecting the Molecule screensaver makes the PC freeze.

Just ran into this issue on my old dell gx240 with an install of Intrepid Ibex 8.10, deleted the molecule app (before I found the "change config" note) Looks like its definitely an issue with the ATI driver by the sound of the reporting history here.

Ubuntu definitely needs and welcomes people working on QA. Please consider joining the QA team https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam or participate in their activities. This bug has been dragging, not been visible to the right persons (filed on wrong package, lack of bug triaging), waiting for required additional information from the bug reporter, etc. And the r128 3D driver doesn't get much attention because not so many people use it, and there's not so much feedback to the developers. Good hardware support is depending on user involvement, since there's not an army of developers having all the necessary time and test hardware available. However, this is a bug report and not a forum, so please let us take discussions somewhere else, so the actual technical information needed to sort out the bug does not get lost. -- [r128 1002:5446] Selecting the Molecule screensaver makes the PC freeze.

I'm impressed, but I can't ignore the feeling that you've been a Microsoft customer. "Our new OS version doesn't work on your computer? Well, sounds like you need to get a new one, so it will." :-) The screensaver for gnome shipped with Ubuntu 6.10 worked fine with the Rage 128, which is as common as dirt. Lots of users turn to Linux because they can't afford a PC that will run XP or Vista. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think it's okay to ship software with Ubuntu 7.04 that no longer works on what I believe is very common hardware, then leave it in the package when delivering 7.10, 8.04 and 8.10. That just doesn't seem right. At least eight other modules no longer display correctly - it's been so long since I ran the tests that I've forgotten exactly how many became broken. I listed them all in my comments at the time - over a year and a half ago. I did that in the hope that it would help identify where the code broke. Code that used to work is easier to fix than code that never worked, and this code used to work. I'm not saying I could fix it, but *someone* should be able to. If not, some kind of statement should be issued to the user community, saying "Yes, it used to work, and now it doesn't, but we don't have the resources to fix it, so we suggest you replace your Rage 128 video card with one of these:" and then list a few that the software does support. Even that would be better than releasing four new versions without fixing the bug, and not giving us closure. I sincerely hope I don't get blasted for this note, as I am a huge *fan* of Ubuntu. I have talked it up to people ever since I started using it. I just think that the present situation makes the whole organization and Ubuntu look bad, and I care too much about both to ignore that. I'm a retired programmer of mission-critical industrial applications, where software bugs could injure or kill people. We had to make sure it all worked before we deployed it. One of my programs ran in simulation mode every four seconds for a month before being accepted for release. QA was everything. (Of course, we were all getting paid, but price does not equate to quality, does it? No.) Jerry -- [r128 1002:5446] Selecting the Molecule screensaver makes the PC freeze.

I also experience this bug, but I'm glad I can contribute! I tried your packages. After installing them, I did System > Preferences > Screensaver > Molecule. Outcome was the same as reported above. Mouse is moveable and num-lock is changeable, but that's it. Xorg.2.log of this session is attached. I was going to do another run and get a backtrace with gdm, but the screensaver started to work the second time (after a hard kill of Xorg). So I re-booted from the Live-CD, and went for the gdb-backtrace the first time the screensaver would run. This time, I enabled NoTrapSignals. Corresponding log is Xorg.1.log and the gdb backtrace is in gdb_backtrace_2:1.5.2-2ubuntu3.txt. Yes, I forgot to upgrade to your packages, so this backtrace is for 2:1.5.2-2ubuntu3. So, in yet another live session (the screensaver is running fine the second time Xorg is run with 2:1.5.2-2ubuntu3 too (I tried to unload the kernel modules drm and r128 but I could not do that, something was still using it)), also with NoTrapSignals, the gdb backtrace was done with 2:1.5.3~git-1ubuntu0tormod4. Log attached als Xorg.0.log and the gdb backtrace as gdb_backtrace_2:1.5.3~git-1ubuntu0tormod4.txt [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lspci -nn | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 PF/PRO AGP 4x TMDS [1002:5046] Hope this helps upstream find the bug! ** Attachment added: "Xorg.2.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19820070/Xorg.2.log -- [r128 1002:5446] Selecting the Molecule screensaver makes the PC freeze.

Hi, I, too, am disappointed that this bug has not been fixed in over 1.5 years. I encountered it in mid-April of 2007, right after upgrading to Ubuntu 7.04. I also have the "offending" Rage 128, as I'm sure many hundreds do. This bug was not present prior to the 7.04 upgrade, so I would think it would be relatively easy to find, assuming anyone has looked at the offending code. At least 8 other Screensaver modules stopped displaying properly, as well. When I complained, someone provided me with a set of 2 or 3 commands to enter, after opening the ( Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal ) window. The commands are fairly short and straightforward, but I don't remember the exact commands, so maybe someone will be kind enough to supply them. If you don't hear from anyone in a day or two, email me, and I will try to find where I wrote them down, and email them back to you. I know this is very frustrating, but there are quite a few of us living with it, so welcome aboard!
