I haven't seen the bug since I reported the workaround -- simply because I haven't tried to reproduce it, having maintained the workaround on my home machine.
I'll try to get a test done asap -- though the test may prove rather insignificant since I've switched to Linux Mint 12 after: a) the lack of response on this and other critical bugs that I filed against Ubuntu packages (no offence intended: I tend to get apathetic about being a good user and reporting bugs and trying to be helpful when every bug I submit is only examined 1 or 2 releases later. Again, no offence: I'm not starting a fight here, I'm not trying to flame (though I'm sure it seems that way). I just start to give up). b) Unity. Yes, that famous flogging horse. Not at all that Unity was created or even set as the default -- even on upgrade! -- more that the implementation of Unity broke everything else I liked, mainly through patches on GTK which broke heaps of the apps I wanted to use and every other desktop environment that I tried at the time. GNOME 3 is no better, and I'm now, sadly, using KDE which, slow and unresponsive as it gets, at least does (mostly) what I want it to do. Anyway, this isn't really the right place for this and my apathy sets in again. I'll report back on the current state of this bug in Linux Mint 12, which will probably still be relevant to Ubuntu because of the upstream package chain. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/672052 Title: ata errors leading to system hang: "soft resetting link" repeated many times before hang To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/672052/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
