Ok, I'm back with slightly more info. When I was typing my last comment, it did the first freeze I explained in that comment, then everthing came back and i posted it. Then I decided to try shuting down the comp the way your supposed to (click the quit icon on the panel, then choose shutdown). I've tried this in the past and it just makes it freeze, but this time i waited like 5 mins after pressing shutdown and when i came back i saw this on the screen (which is black and white, all text, like when u do alt ctrl F1): kinit: name_to_dev_t( then in here it showed the address to my hard drive, something like /dev/disk/ then a bunch of numbers, i think) = db2 (8,18) kinit: trying to resume from then here it showed the same address to my disk as above kinit: no resume image doing normal boot Ubuntu 8.04 john-desktop tty1
OK, thats not exactly what it said (I just scribbled it on a piece of paper really quickly) but it was something along those lines. Then after it said the "Ubuntu 8.04 john-desktop tty1" line it said something like john-desktop login, but no matter what i typed it would show the "Ubuntu 8.04 john-desktop tty1" line. This supports my idea that the problem is related to not being able to read the disk, because all through that, my comp's disk activity light didn't go on, and i assume that it went back to the "Ubuntu 8.04 joh......" line because the computer couldn't check the disk to see if i typed the correct login. I noticed that some people with this bug or a similar one claim it's related to network activity, so my bug may be completely different than the one reported here. -- Linux kernel 2.6.24-12 lockup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204996 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
