** Description changed: There are 2 possible bugs included here: 1. XUbuntu desktop tends to crash when accesing external DVD drive NEC. The crash doesn't happen alway but it happens quite consistently after inserting several DVD's and mounting drive several times. Not all application will crash though. For a while mouse will still run, but CPU load meter will stop. Some application will be accessible for a while but as time passes everything will freeze and CPU will be 101% busy. 2. Another possbile issue (of the same bug) is related to FAT32 which is mounted under /media/hda1. Whenever such crash (see no. 1) occures computer needs to be restarted. When this happens errors appear on FAT partition. It is possible that error ocures while trying to read external DVD and write to FAT32 at the same time. Errors include several crosslinked files and all the changes made to the FAT32 partition during Xubuntu session are usually lost. Linux is not able to fix FAT32 after restart but Win XP can usually fix all the errors without the loss of data (from last Windows session - what was done during the last Xubuntu session is of course lost) I am running Xubuntu on Laptop CLEVO D22ES with 2.4GHz Celeron processor, FUJITSU MHT2030AT-28GiB disk - and _NEC DVD_RW ND-3540A DVD recordable + and external _NEC DVD_RW ND-3540A DVD recorder
