I've the bug issolated. It is in advanced power management package. The fix is as follows
edit the file /boot/grub/menue.lst by inserting text into the line from kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-18-generic root=UUID=a49db6d1-0510-4b41-9a39-95d51d199bb7 ro quiet splash to: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-18-generic root=UUID=a49db6d1-0510-4b41-9a39-95d51d199bb7 ro acpi=off apm=off quiet splash However, there are other problems in the grub. I believe there are uninitialized pointers, because the screen once a while shows garbage. This problem has nothing to do with memory leak. -- compiz randomly freezes X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/176589 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
