Public bug reported:
I always lock the screen when leaving my office, and 9 out of 10 times
the whole PC will have froze when I return, and it does not reply to any
input. After some weeks now I've noticed that it's the same screensaver
that's displyed each time this happens.
So, to test this out I started System -> Preferences -> Screensaver to
see if I could locate this screensaver (find one that resembles in
apperance) and if the PC would freeze again if I started that spesific
screensaver. I browsed through the list and watched the preview window,
and found that the screensaver that had been displayed each time was the
one called "Galaxy". And again, my PC froze. However, I didn't have to
start it in fullscreen mode. The second it started to run in the
preview-window, the whole PC froze again. And it's the whole PC, just
not X.
System: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS AMD64 (2.6.15-27-amd64-generic)
Graphics card: nVidia Corporation GeForce 6200 TurboCache(TM) (rev a1) (prog-if
00 [VGA])
Grapichscard driver: "nv"
I should mention that an similar machine, with the same system, BUT with
a slightly diffrent grapichs card do not experience the same problem.
That machine has this card: nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6200] (rev
a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
