Public bug reported:
I have ran into some problems with the new 8.10 version of ubuntu. There
are a few issues, but the most annoying is that my computer randomly
freezes, I have yet to determine a pattern to the crashes. But more or
less, it happens when I am doing something with the video card (example
playing a youtube video.) But it often happens when opening LimeWire, or
even when installing software through the package manager (Synaptic). It
never happens when I install packages through the good old command line.
In a nutshell my system consists as follows
Motherboard: Asus M2A-VM
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4000+ Socket AM2
Memory: 1GB
Video Card: nVidia GeForce 7300 GT
Storage 1: 80 GB SATA II
Storage 2: 160 GB SATA II
This a complete fresh installation, the system was working well before
(ubuntu 8.04). Although I have installed a lot of software (mainly
because I use this computer a file server, web server, share iTunes
media library etc.) But this issue has been going on even before
installing all this software.
My System logs don't say much. It just says restart. I don't know what
to make of it. I've also been getting the famous acpid: exiting hang,
when shutting down or restarting. If I wait long enough it does restart
or shut down but its very annoying.
---------------------------
AN UPDATE:
Every time I open my bit torrent client, after about 2 minutes of use it
freezes Every TIME, without fail. This is strange because previously
(about 4 days ago, I downloaded two 1.5gig files without a hitch)...
I would appreciate any help...
Thank you.
