Okay, now that I have a better idea of what is going on--somehow I missed the Caps Lock blink comment in the bug description.
When the Caps Lock is blinking, it is a kernel panic, and most likely is a hardware failure in this case. I would try using a different network card and see if it still happens. But, if you think it isn't hardware, we will need the following info: 1. Please run the command 'dmesg > dmesg.log' and attach the resulting file 'dmesg.log' to this bug report. 2. Please run the command 'sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log' and attach the resulting file 'lspci-vvnn.log' to this bug report. Also, I'm changing this to Incomplete until the required info is needed. ** Changed in: linux-source-2.6.22 (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: transmission => linux-source-2.6.22 Status: New => Incomplete -- ubuntu hangs when downloading torrents https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175559 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
