I installed 2.6.38-999-generic from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/current/ and got ambiguous results. I got a freeze when copying sets of files of 600M+ in Nautilus, but only after a half dozen tries I wasn't able to get a freeze copying similar amounts using c -r in

Not very comfortable with trying latest development release, if there's a reasonable change it will screw up my existing installation: I don;t much fancy redoing everything I've done up til now. I don't yet have partition backup/mirroring set up, so I've got no way to easily undo any serious damag

Hi Alan, Installing development versions in another partition is a good bet - however being a development version any type of hideous error might occur and destroy the other installation - that's what you get with development. http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/current/ would

Well, if you could get the exact text of that error it might help; but probably the best thing is if I give you the standard response asking you to try the new kernels being developed - if you can give it a go it would be good to know if they fix it or if they give any different/better diagnostics

Hi Alan, Thanks for that. Those errors shouldn't happen - so it's pretty likely a kernel bug. There are a few ways to get those messages; 1) If you're lucky they'll have been recorded in /var/log/kern.log or /var/log/kern.log.1 or /var/log/debug 2) A digital camera picture of the message

Hi Alan, Have you tried doing a copy from a text virtual console (switch to it from ctrl-alt-f1 - you can switch back using ctrl-alt-f7 or f8) It's possible you might get a spew of error messages as it hangs on the console. Dave ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -
