Could someone please help me with this, or let me know what further information I need to provide? I should add that if I start up the laptop without an external display attached, and then try to attach one, it freezes the whole laptop, necessitating a hard power down (and I can't ssh to the laptop from another computer on my home network). This is REALLY annoying, and the kind of thing that makes me have second thoughts about having switched from windows. For all its faults, at least windows didn't fully crash when I plugged in an external monitor (which I do alot with the laptop!).
As a workaround to this problem, I have to fully shutdown the computer, and then start the computer with whatever external monitor plugged in. -- [Karmic] Sony Vaio VGN-C260E laptop freezes when external monitor is plugged in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/462393 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
