Public bug reported:
I installed gutsy on AMD Athlon 64 2800+ , 180 GHz, LG 700E 17' monitor,512 MB
RAM,SiS Real integrated graphics card. Installation was done from AMD64 Live
CD. Installation went smooth without any hitch. The problem is that gutsy
freezes completely frequently. Often this happens when firefox is running along
with synaptic or pidgeon. This has also happened when synaptic is run
alone(clicking on the 'updates available' baloon). When it freezes nothing can
be done except restart the system by cutting out the power.
There is a problem with graphics too. The desktop menu bar gets discolored with
Firefox running. The discoloration is in rectangular patches and ranges from
gray to Bright blue/cyan-ish at times.At time the patches flow over to firefox
window open below. Often when OO Writer is run strange black criss cross lines
appear in the background on the Desktop and they keep changing a little. Slowly
the whole Desktop graphics get corrupted. In such a situation many Menu buttons
disappear and when I try to shut the machine down all the buttons of the dialog
box are not visible. The system gets slow too.
should i try the 'alternate CD' install?
