Public bug reported: I'm experiencing a lot of apparently random crashes (i mean 2-3 times a day) with a complete hanging of the machine. There 3 type of crash:
- During the normal usage of the machine, like browsing, listening music, just opening the "application" menu and things like that, everythinh hangs exept for the mouse. Cliking on the shut down button is futile. Trying to enter in a console with CTRL+ALT+F1-6 is futile too because it hangs at login. After the insertion of the password sometimes nothing happens and other times it gave a lot of messages and then it hangs definitly. Only fisical reboot it's possible - At boot, after login (1 time it crashed at login too), it appears an error windows that says that the "name of an applet of gnome" (last time is has been volume control for example) closed for some problem. You have to chose if you want to reload the applet or continue without reloading it. The 2 choises give tha same result. Everything hangs as above. - Sometimes (maybe 40-50% ot the times) after a crash like the two above, and so, after a physical reboot, the machine hangs at startup with a message like "Kernel panic - not syncing: attempted to kill init" (i boot in recovery mode after crashes so i can read all these messages). So i'm obliged to reset my machine newly and sometime 3-4 resets are needed to start the machine without this message! Finally, i don't know if it's important, after these crashes, are founded errors on partition like orphan inode and journal is recouvered (sometime a manual fsck is needed to fix the filesystem) Trying to read the kern.log i've found same errors ( i suppose they are the same text lines i see when the machine crashes..). I attach the whole kern.log; the following are some example of the errors inside the kern.log: trashapplet[6057]: segfault at d84e9194 eip b713f6c4 esp bfdd6420 error 7 gdm[5708]: segfault at 7e8295e4 eip 0806f004 esp bf94f0fc error 6 kernel BUG at /build/buildd/linux-2.6.24/mm/rmap.c:631!

Notice: on my machine memtest is ok, temperatures of cpu and hds are ok, there are no physical problem on the disk(s) (no badblocks). ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: gdm gdm-applets hardy -- [Hardy] [gdm ?] Apparently random crashes with completly hang of the machine mostly on startup with errors in loading gdm-applets https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/230457 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
