[Bug 228633] Re: Ubuntu 8.04 Freezes
having same problem on an ibm t60. It only happens when i transfer a lot of data over network. The easiest way to reproduce the bug is starting a transfer of many small files (8000 or so) over ftp - and eventually it will hang. Nothing in the log files or anything. It does seem to happen with large files too - just takes a bit longer. It's almost like there is a set amount of data it will transfer, and when you exceed that amount it locks up. -- Ubuntu 8.04 Freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228633 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 228633] Re: Ubuntu 8.04 Freezes
it crashed again - this time without wifi enabled. Kill switch was set to off. Again transferring a 740mb large file over the network. If i transfer the 740mb to my lan it is not a problem, but transferring over the internet with app. 1 hour transfertime makes it freeze every time. -- Ubuntu 8.04 Freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228633 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

i have been testing a bit more - and it happens more often/quicker when i upload. I can download 1gb from the internet, but if i upload the same 1gb to another server it freezes after 300/400/500 mb app. It doesnt matter if i use http or ftp upload or any other protocol. Same result - it freezes. -- Ubuntu 8.04 Freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228633 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It does not seem to be a problem on my desktop - Shuttle amd64 running 32bit ubuntu 8.04. Only on my laptop T60 (running 32bit). -- Ubuntu 8.04 Freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228633 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 228633] Re: Ubuntu 8.04 Freezes
it just happened again - this time no big files, only a vnc connection over the internet (the vnc only ran for 5-10 min before freezing completely). It must be some kind of timeout/latency problem, because it is occurring a lot more often over the internet. -- Ubuntu 8.04 Freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228633 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 228633] Re: Ubuntu 8.04 Freezes
forgot to mention this crash i had the wifi killswitch set to on - usually i have it set to off when using a network cable - so i don't know if wifi has anything to do with it, but it does seem to freeze quicker when wifi killswitch is on. -- Ubuntu 8.04 Freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228633 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 228633] Re: Ubuntu 8.04 Freezes
it looks like powertop does definitely do something right :-) I downloaded a 400mb file via ftp and my computer froze. Then i loaded powertop with "sudo powertop" and left it running. Then i downloaded the 400mb file and it did not freeze on me. don't know why, but it seemed to help. I did accept all the suggestions powertop gave me - like disable bluetooth, sata polling interval and something else. All 3 things i accepted just by pressing the corresponding letter showing up in the bottom of powertop. Even though it seems to keep the system from freezing it does not tell me why it freezes when powertop is not running. Any suggestions?? (would prefer to have it working without running powertop all the time, or as an alternative i can live with run powertop as a service when the computer boots). thanks for the help so far cement_head :-) -- Ubuntu 8.04 Freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228633 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 228633] Re: Ubuntu 8.04 Freezes
powertop gives me 4 suggestions - and i accept all of them. After accepting the suggestions and closing down powertop i have not had any freezes. So my guess is that one of those 4 things makes it freeze in default configuration. But which one? - i don't know enough about powertop and kernel to guess. I will over the next couple of days try to disable one by one and see if i can figure it out. Suggestion: increase the VM dirty writeback time from 5,00 to 15 seconds with: echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs This wakes the disk up less frequenty for background VM activity Q - Quit R - Refresh W - Increase Writeback time Suggestion: Enable SATA ALPM link power management via: echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy or press the S key. Q - Quit R - Refresh S - SATA Link Power Management Suggestion: Disable 'hal' from polling your cdrom with: hal-disable-polling --device /dev/cdrom 'hal' is the component that auto-opens a window if you plug in a CD but disables SATA power saving from kicking in. Q - Quit R - Refresh K - kill hald-addon-storage Suggestion: Disable the unused bluetooth interface with the following command: hciconfig hci0 down ; rmmod hci_usb Bluetooth is a radio and consumes quite some power, and keeps USB busy as well. Q - Quit R - Refresh B - Turn Bluetooth off -- Ubuntu 8.04 Freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228633 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 228633] Re: Ubuntu 8.04 Freezes
froze again - this time from within a virtual machine (virtualbox) running XP and updating a lot of documents with data. Powertop is not the solution. I think more like a general I/O issue tooonly thing i can say for certain is that it happens when large amounts of data are transferred on the nic, and i think it only happens when i am on networks with high latency (but only a hunch to back this up unfortunately). What annoys me the most is that the logfiles gives you nothing at all :-( -- Ubuntu 8.04 Freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228633 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 357264] [NEW] In Jaunty 9.04 using theme New Wave will block IBM Lotus Notes 8.5 from starting
Public bug reported: if i select theme "New Wave" i cannot launch IBM Lotus Notes 8.5 on Ubuntu 9.04. Theme "Dust" is fine, "ClearLooks" is fine etc. It is just "New Wave" that somehow is different and Lotus Notes locks up taking up 50% of the cpu (dual core, so 100% on 1 of the cores). It is consistent in behaviour - as in every time. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: 9.04 jaunty notes -- In Jaunty 9.04 using theme New Wave will block IBM Lotus Notes 8.5 from starting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/357264 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
