This was never a compiz problem (caps lock flashing means kernel panic)

From a reporter:
Scott - thank you for asking. And I am so sorry about the delay. Vacation
and work crises got in front of this.
It seems to have cleared for me - but I have Visual Effects disabled (and
it's not letting me enable them - maybe I removed something I shouldn't
have).

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can
you try with the latest Ubuntu release (maybe live CD)? Thanks in

Okay, so I had a bit of a breakthrough today.
The Problem
Like many of you, I've been getting some random lock-ups; kernel panic with a
hard freeze I could only end with a hard reset. This seems had something to do
with the wireless card, iwl3945 -- it really didn't like one of the networks at
My Lenovo lspci output is attached. Certainly sounds like the wireless.
Has someone testing a wire-connected 8.10? (I'm needing my laptop in
production for another couple of weeks).
Cheers!

Yep -- it's specifically an issue with the 4965, and can be a problem
for the 3945. That's in the Other Known Issues at

Here is what's working for me:
I removed every backport, but I didn't purge them. Then I commented out

I can verify this on lenovo's r61i and x60s. Computer lockup with

Lenovo folk, can you post your wireless card specs? I'm further under
the impression that this is an Intel 3945/NetworkManager issue, and if
our cards are all the same, it might be worth filing a different bug.

Just wanted to say that after removing pulseaudio, things seemed to work
on my network at home. But again, once I got on the insecure network at
my university, it froze right up -- about 2 minutes after booting up. I
had Firefox and OpenOffice 3.0 open, but I'm almost positive now it's a

Patience is just not my thing.

I misread the solution - I thought adding backports to the software
source was the issue. In Synpatic Manager, there's also a linux-
backports-modules-intrepid. I just installed that. Stay tuned.

I'm a little concerned that affects compiz might be sending the team
down the wrong path in looking for a solution. My system locks up on me
even after compiz is fully removed.
I also note that on the same machine, Fedora 9 works fine, even with
compiz running.
Fedora kernel: 2.6.25-14.fc9.i686
I'm having the same issue - fresh install of 8.10 on a Lenovo X61s. The
system will randomly freeze anywhere from 5 minutes to as long as 7
hours.
I've disabled Visual Effects, rebooted, with no change in behavior.
I've uninstalled compiz and compiz-core, rebooted, with no change in
behavior.
LinuxLars: we are in the same boat you are...trying to diagnose...
btw what arch are you guys running?? x86 or x64??? i had x86 installed
on my dual core while this was happening...running a clean install of
8.10 x64 now to see if this is still happening...

We're running x86. Odd - and I feel a little silly - I hadn't thought of
running the 64 bit version. My longest run without a lockup was around 7
hours. Keep me posted if the 64 bit continues to work.

enabled compiz after updating and had a hard lock 2 hours later...I'm
going to say this is directly related to compiz, at least on my machine.
I don't see how it wouldn't be, had the laptop running for over a day
without compiz and then after 2 hours of being enabled, my system hard
locks??? :P
I installed compizconfig-settings-manager then opened it via
SystemPrefsCompizConfig Settings Manager then enabled the Compiz Crash
Handler plugin...logging to my ~/compiz dir I created...hope to get
something out of the crash handler as to get a better idea of what's
happening.

Im still unable to reproduce this reliably I tried a fair amount today
and only had it happen once. I have not tried with compiz off. Its too
bad we have not attracted the attention of someone more knowledgeable
yet. If it continues to appear to be a compiz bug at some point we
should mark it as
