[Bug 355155] Re: Clocksource tsc unstable leads to lockups in Ubuntu Jaunty
Sound/flash now appear to be the killers for me. My machine has now been running overnight and through the morning and seems happy enough. I had a freeze yesterday with a scim-launcher segfault while I was listening to music and then clicked on a heavy flash site. That was the experience I had before, although I also had a few npviewer.bin segfaults which I assume are related. It has now been up 17 hours and I have been able to work for the early part of the day. However, I have not used any sound or looked at flash heavy sites, or indeed used Skype. Those things seem to accelerate the crash. I read in one of these posts that they cause rapid memory leaks. Throughout all of this I have had heavy network activity through updates and various downloads, so I'm not sure the network is the problem for me. -- Clocksource tsc unstable leads to lockups in Ubuntu Jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355155 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 355155] Re: Clocksource tsc unstable leads to lockups in Ubuntu Jaunty
Hi: I have had the same or similar experience to most others in this bug report. My machine started freezing randomly a few weeks back after years of reliable service. I tried lots of things and eventually determined that it was a heat problem. The CPU fan was full of dust and the temps were pretty high. I blew out the dust and the temp went right down, but the random freezes remained. That machine was an Asus P5B Deluxe, Dual Core, 6GB RAM, NVidia 6600 on Jaunty. On close inspection, I could see the graphics riser was slightly warped and discoloured, so I assumed it had heated to the point that it had damaged the MB and that was what was causing the random freezes, I got a new MB, CPU, RAM (Asus M3N, AM2, 4GB RAM, on-board NVidia 8200) and re-installed Jaunty. It worked fine for about 1 day and then the random freezes happened again. I tried all the suggestions on this and other posts such as installing the 185 driver, except the 2.6.30 kernel, but still it froze more and more. I am now running 8.04 with very limited graphics. I can at least work, but would like to use jaunty if possible. I hope someone can find a cure for this ill. The conspiracy theorist in me suspects an M$ mole planted in the kernel team several years ago who has finally made their move :) Paul -- Clocksource tsc unstable leads to lockups in Ubuntu Jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355155 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 355155] Re: Clocksource tsc unstable leads to lockups in Ubuntu Jaunty
Based on various recommendations here and in other forums, I installed 9.04 again and installed the 2.6.29 kernel. The system ran with the 180 driver fine for about 2 hours, then froze again. That fix didn't therefore work for me. I might try it in combination with the 185 driver, but there are only so many hours I can work without a working computer. -- Clocksource tsc unstable leads to lockups in Ubuntu Jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355155 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

Please delete, it was pilot error. There was a small window open that I didn't see (thought it was another browser), which must have affected the upgrade process. Version works fine. -- latest update breaks the browser https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/299154 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 201717] [NEW] gnome-compiz writing to wrong memory space, upgrade locked
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: compiz 1.DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION=Ubuntu hardy (development branch) 2. The problem appears to be with compiz-gnome 1:0.7.2-0ubuntu2. The update process has stalled and there are some incorrect memory pointers. I suspect if I reboot I will have no machine. 3. compiz-gnome: Installed: 1:0.7.2-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1:0.7.2-0ubuntu2 Version table: 1:0.7.2-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages *** 1:0.7.2-0ubuntu1 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 4. Just doing a routine update and dist-upgrade, but now it is stalling. 5. There are some nasty messages on the screen and apt now can't seem to connect to the repositories. Part of the problem might have been that I still had some gutsy repositories enabled as it was transitional. There are 3 crash reports, but I am attaching the gnome-compiz one. There is also an nvidia one and screensaver. Interface is not letting me upload the crash report, but I can e-mail it if required.
