[Bug 228633] Re: Ubuntu 8.04 Freezes
A final update from me: I've upgraded to Intrepid Ibex (Ubuntu 8.10), and, thankfully, the issue has disappeared. One other change that was made at the same time was to move from proprietary fglrx ATI driver to the open source ati ATI driver, so this may also be a factor. -- 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

Another update: Still experiencing the freeze problem. Steps taken since last time I posted an update: 1. Applied fix for slow Wi-Fi problem (Bug #190515). At least this makes machine usable with Wi-Fi connections. Did not fix the freeze problem, though. 2. Installed powertop (which worked even though I have an AMD CPU), and applied all suggestions: 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 Suggestion: enable AC97 powersave mode by executing the following command: echo 1 /sys/module/snd_ac97_codec/parameters/power_save or by passing power_save=1 as module parameter. 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. However, no luck - machine still freezes up after an hour or so of usage. In fact, occasionally, the freezes are so bad that holding down the power off button to switch off the machine doesn't work. I have to disconnect mains power, and remove the laptop battery to get it to power down! Note that the machine did not experience these issues under Gutsy Gibbon and does not experience them under Windows, so am pretty sure that they are Hardy Heron related. My final attempt to fix this will be to move away from proprietary ATI drivers and compiz. If this doesn't work, no choice but to re-install Gutsy. With regard to fixes from the Ubuntu team, suspect that only a few unlucky people have hardware configurations that trigger this problem, so, unfortunately for us, it's not a priority to fix. -- 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
I have been having this problem since June 2007. During that time I upgraded and installed all the patches recommended by Ubuntu. I am now at 8.04. The crashes occure totally randomly. I usually get about 30 minutes before the crash. If I restart from XP the boot into Ubuntu fails sometimes. Powering off and then back on allows me to get into Ubuntu. It also fails when I am using FireFox to surf the net. Sometimes when I leave my computer on and the screen saver is up it happens. I have to power down and reboot to recover. I have looked in some log files but since I am a novice I have not seen anything that looks like it could be a cause. This is a dual boot machine and XP works fine so I think it is a software problem. This is an AMD machine.

Instead of USB problem this might actually be a general I/O problem.

On my computer it has nothing to do with X or the desktop environment.

powertop is a program that figures out what is polling the kernel and causes a high amount of interupts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerTOP). It will also figure out what (if any) processes are hogging the CPU by polling it (asking it) ALL THE TIME and tieing up the CPU. You can manually execute the commands, or choose the automated option. In the screenshot that you've attached, choosing A would cause the AC97 (your sound subsystem) to be shutdown when it isn't being used.

[Bug 228633] Re: Ubuntu 8.04 Freezes
Upgraded to 64-bit Hardy from 64-bit Gutsy last week, and experiencing the same (or similar) problem - machine hangs, no input or output, and a hard reboot required to get up and running again. Machine is Fujitsu Siemens Amilo A1630 (AMD 64-bit CPU), with ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 (like the first poster - wonder if this is an issue), and built-in Ralink RT2500 Wi-Fi card. The system logs seem to offer no clue as to the problem. The issue usually occurs after about an hour, but sometimes even sooner. I've tried disabling wi-fi (using plain vanilla ethernet instead), but the issue still occurs. Next, I'll remove the relevant modules, just in case the driver is being loaded. Very disappointing, as have generally had great experiences with Ubuntu Edgy and Gutsy (after moving from SuSE), and had heard good things about Hardy. My guess is I'm just unlucky with my hardware configuration, and will have to keep disabling things until the system stays up (though this will be tricky, as I can't reliably trigger the problem). If I can't get to the bottom of the issue in the next few days, I'll have to downgrade back to Gutsy. journeyman. -- 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
Hang again when a 2.5 USB hard disk was connencted to make a backup (in the left side USB port, while mouse was in one of the rear ports). Hard disk had various partitions (NTFS and EXT3). I disabled wireless card in the laptop switch and I could reformat the disk (one partition Ext3), and make the backup, no mer hangs. So its like something about wifi card or/and USB ports (i don't know if the rear USB controller). When I connect a flash or hard disk, I usually suffer hangs. But not when I discconnet wireless card. I have the touchpad disabled in bios at every moment. Help, please. This is really a bug. No problems in five previous ubuntu versions. -- 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

Hi there, I experience the same thing on the Acer TravelMate 4500. With Fn F7 I can switch off the touchpad and it does not happen again. I use an external mouse instead of the touchpad.

I have just install Ubuntu 8.04 on Acer Travelmate 6292 and experiences the same thing. I was connected to the network using ethernet cable, and was downloading update using update manager. The hangs also happened when I just leave the notebook for several hours for a meeting. After all the update finishes it still happens. This is a very annoying bug, and one of my colleague also has experience this using Lenovo notebook. He has stopped using Ubuntu and goes back using Windows until this problem is fixed. -- 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
I had upgraded to Kubuntu 8.04 from 7.10 on my laptop LG LW40 and started experiencing very strange system freezes. First times I was unable to understand what is causing such freezes and each time I was doing different things on my laptop. But later I found the way how to reproduce freeze 100%. 1.I open some URL in Firefox (tried 2.x and 3.x versions). 2.1. Copy some text on the screen by selecting it with mouse and simultaneously press few keyboard buttons. It is enough to repeat these two actions chaotically couple of times to get system freeze. 2.2. Also freeze is reproduced if I press Ctrl+F in Firefox (search toolbar) when having some text selected and start typing in the search field. Actually freezes randomly (but less frequently) occur when I do not even have Firefox running, but I pointed out the Firefox just because in this way I am reproducing the hangs in 100% of cases. In the above way the hangs are repeated when running on live CD with Ubuntu 8.04. And before the upgrade I have never faced such problems. So I think this is something wrong in our new Kubuntu. Interestingly, but in my case disabling the wireless card does no help out. In the above way my laptop freezes regardless of using the WiFi card or not. To S.R.Parda: Could you please check out the above steps and let know does it freeze in that way? -- 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

Another hang. I had been working withou problems. Using the wireless network adapter. And the mouse connected to the left side USB port of my notebook. Laptop hung Trying to copy a file to an USB flash memory connected in one of the rear USB ports. (with the wifi enabled) So it seems something related to the USB controler in the rear of the laptop. -- 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 am also having the same/similar issue. I have an Edimax EW-7128G PCI wireless card in my machine. When I am not using it, the system doesn't freeze. If I use it, randomly when accessing the Internet, or especially when downloading large files, the system will completely freeze and the Caps lock Scroll lock lights on the keyboard blink. Here are my system specs in case it helps: Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron 64-bit Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Asus EN8400GS Edimax EW-7128G Evga 680i Motherboard I have heard this may be related to the generic kernel and possibly any wireless card with a RT61 chipset.

After enable the wireless adapter, and when restoring backups from USB hard disk to my computer. Ubuntu hang without mouse cursor nor keyboard input response. So the wifi adapter is always working when hang, otherwise no hangs. But it seems that at more USB activity is more likely that Ubuntu hangs. -- 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
