Different user, same story. Specs:
Ubuntu 8.10 with the 2.6.27-8-generic on a Lenovo IdeaPad Y510. This is an absolute show-stopper for me; I've had it freeze up on me numerous times while writing documents. Today it happened twice, and I lost my work -- yes, I autosaved, but OO.org 3.0's autosave and autorecovery doesn't work quite like it's name suggests. So I've taken to frantically saving my work every 30 seconds to make sure I don't lose something that might prove important. Symptoms are the same: I'll be working along, and usually somewhere between 30-180 minutes in, a hard freeze; the wireless and caps lock lights flash, nothing works, and I have to power down with the power button, which must be playing hell with my hard drive. I'm attaching my dmesg.log, dmesg.0.log, lspci-vvnn.log, and messages from today (Nov. 17). I'm also going to try removing the entire pulseaudio system; I seem to remember that being a problem in 8.04, and I haven't removed it yet, even though I don't use it. One thing: Could this be a NetworkManager issue? Is it a wireless thing? The one thing I notice is that this seems to occur a lot when I'm on my university's open wireless network (since the new NetworkManager can't connect to the secure network anymore). It doesn't occur nearly as much on my WPA2 home network. ** Attachment added: "dmesg.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19741283/dmesg.log -- (COMPIZ ???)
