Public bug reported:
I'm running Ubuntu 8.04.1 Kernel 2.6.24-19-Generic I have a KT400 Mobo
with Broadcom wireless, Nvidia 6200 graphics. I have to hard boot the PC about
15-20 times before I can get logged in. Once in I have less than 30 minutes to
do anything before the next lock-up. I have tried to use recovery mode but
that Locks up aswell. The mouse stops working....HDD lights off....caps and
numlock lights on keyboard do nothing. Sometimes I get the start up screen
sometimes not. Sometimes when I get the start up screen the cursor isn't
blinking...and I can't type anything. Sometimes I can't get 1/4 of the way
through the loading bar. Sometimes I get a message about the login screen
crashing and the system will try another. Sometimes it locks up at the
"Starting up..." other times it gets to "Loading, please wait..."
I have tried using a GeForce3 Ti200 card rather than the 6200. I have
tried using a Atheros wireless card rather than the broadcom card. Nothing
works. I really don't want to go back to windoze. I enjoy ubuntu on my
laptop. But my PC has to atleast start up.
Now I'm no superuser with linux but I can follow directions and can copy
code easily enough. Tell me what you need and I will do everything I can to
help resolve this issue. I checked the /var/crash folder but it is empty am i
missing something?
