I have a Asus M3A78-T mobo. A PNY Nvidia gts 250 pci express card. A Phenom 9650. 8 gigs OCZ ram. Albeit the system is stable when not pushed to the limit, I have been configuring compiz with a vnc connection on one viewport, a virtual machine on another viewport, mythtv on another viewport, and a complete webserver running in a headless virtual machine. The system hard locks when the Win XP guest, the vnc connection, and mythtv are open. If none are open the system is stable. A screenshot of the window managers configuration is attached; it will hardlock with the caps lock flashing inevitably.
I think it had to do with compiz. I tried building custom kernels. I stripped everything out of the kernel except what was needed and the system still hard locked. I tried disabling one customization at a time. I though it the firewire stack at one point, but I reconfigured that in various kernel builds, but no resolution was achieved. I tried using the default nvidia driver in the repos, but notices no difference in stability versus the up-to-date binaries. There is absolutely nothing in any log file. A remote ssh connection reveals nothing. Memory checks out. Hard disks check out. Processor checks out. Video card checks out. This is clearly software related because the system boot fine with nothing in the logs. My nose points towards compiz, and or its interaction with the X server. ** Attachment added: "hardlock.jpg" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/29879204/hardlock.jpg -- Thinkpad T61p hardlock flashing caps lock https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/300693 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
