Hi James, This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ . If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report. apport-collect -p linux 477918 Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results. Thanks in advance. [This is an automated message.

I can telnet into the system with the frozen UI and nothing looks at all unusual. top shows everything running fine, with the various processes as idle as you would expect when no input can get into the processes from the keyboard or mouse. When the freeze occurs the only thing I can do to recover is sudo reboot. I have examined the logs and from my limited experience of linux I can see nothing whatsoever out of the ordinary. In the main message log, for example there are typically no messages whatsoever for several HOURS prior to the message generated by the sudo reboot command.

I tried changing the boot to "nomodeset". This restores the functionality of the X11 driver which is buggy. I cannot perform suspend/resume.

Dear James Cobban, the information u have given here helps me to understand thinks better. Thanks. U r correct. The suggestion in Comment #9 is applicable only if grub2 is used.

So bear with me. There is no grub.cfg file in my configuration. Rather the equivalent information appears in menu.lst. I believe this has to do with whether grub 2 or 1 is used. I don't know much about either version or what I would need to do to migrate. It has taken me long enough to learn how to manipulate menu.lst. I would rather not have to complicate my life by learning an alternative configuration technique. Looking at my copy of menu.lst I see the text that you suggest changing. Specifically the menu.lst entry for the Karmic Koala kernel is: titleUbuntu 9.10, kernel 2.6.31-14-generic root(hd1,0) kernel/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=UUID=f900070e-2701-4360-98c3-68bc817d012b ro quiet splash initrd/boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic quiet I see the release note item "No Xv support for Intel 82852/855GM video chips with KMS" which suggests "nomodeset" although the problems reported here are completely unrelated to what I am observing. It took me a lot of hunting around to understand what was actually being suggested, as the vast majority of relevant pages just assumed that everybody already knows what KMS was about. Please correct me if I am misunderstanding this: In Karmic Koala screen mode setting has been moved by default from X11 down into the kernel in order to fix a number of problems. However it would appear that there are some minor problems in the kernel code with respect to some Intel video chips. The chipset on my computer is even older than the ones mentioned in the 9.10 release notes. Changing the kernel setting to "nomodeset" forces the old functionality in X11 to be used rather than the new kernel code. -- Jim Cobban jamescob...@sympatico.ca 34 Palomino Dr. Kanata, ON, CANADA K2M 1M1 +1-613-592-9438 -- hang in Karmic Koala https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477918 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
