Further to my last comment, I'm not certain that the crash and messages are related. The messages appear several times without a machine crash so perhaps it's a false association. -- wpa_supplicant causes system to crash. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/468519 You received this bug notification

I've having this problem on a Toshiba A80-132 (Equium) laptop. Occassional crashes that require hard-reboot. sometimes I need to remove the battery. Although oddly, often I can ssh in from another machine and reboot. These crashes started after a clean install of 9.10. No problems in 9.04.

I'm getting this on Karmic. Installed KDE and Kubuntu Desktop to have a play, didn't like it so went back to Gnome. Have tried uninstalling all traces of kubuntu but unwanted mouse pointer persists. Currently experimenting with System - Preferences - Appearance - Themes to try and get 'normal'

I'm observing the same thing with Gnome 2.26.1. It's happened before and I can't recall how I fixed it. I'm adding this note because I've noticed some interesting behaviour. If I change one of the 5 workspace names, then log out and back in again. the change IS REMEMBERED. But only for a few

I am also observing this behaviour but with Workspace 5. I came across it while trying out things to solve https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/363769 I tried remove the workspace switcher then re-adding it. This made it default to 4 workspaces where I usually work with 5. So I added another

I've found a way around this. I have absolutely no idea why it's working. It's based entirely on trial and error and hunches. But it may be useful to others. From reading other bug reports I kept noticing references to metacity. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling that with no effect. By

I'm not sure how helpful this will be but I finally solved this by ditching my AP. I noticed that very often the AP (A D-LINK DWL-2000AP+) would often crash when I lost the connection. I didn't spot it at first because I was so busy looking at the laptop and trying to fix things there. I realised
