Public bug reported: I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop with Kubuntu 8.10 installed, as well as preinstalled Windows Vista. It works normally with Vista, but with Ubuntu it freezes after a random period of time. Screen becomes distorted and blinks, mouse cursor is moving but then disappears completely, no sound, no ping replies, keyboard does not work. You have to hold down the power button and reboot, there is nothing else you can do. It freezes both in Gnome and KDE, and both with Nvidia 177 and Nvidia 180 drivers.
System config: Intel Core Duo T7300 2GHz 1Gb RAM GeForce 8600M GT Nvidia 180.11 driver Kubuntu 8.10 with all latest updates, KDE4.2.1, Gnome 2.24. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop with Kubuntu 8.10 freezes unexpectedly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346343 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
