I spent about 3 month with my machine in single user recovery boot up which worked fine. As soon as I go past init S into init 2,3,4,5 system hangs. Total system lock up. If i tried to go back to init S after $ telinit 2,3,4,5 or $ init 2,3,4,5. it would still hang. It would consistintly freeze or restart at about 30 after xserver started. Whether I logged in or not. Nothing of interest in the log files. no errors, just normal messages.
I have not tried to ssh into the system. I spent the last 2 days going through the /etc/init.d/ and /etc/rc*.d/ to try and figure out why this was limited to runlevel above single user. runlevel 2 through 5 are the same. Default in Ubuntu is init 2 $who -r # will show you what init level your are currently in. I found the offending script to be in $ file /etc/rc2.d/S99ondemand /etc/rc2.d/S99ondemand: symbolic link to `../init.d/ondemand' when i renamed it $cd /etc/init.d/ $mv ondemand bk.ondemand Boot back into normal standard ubuntu every thing is going fine now $uptime 14:17:43 up 1:04, 2 users, load average: 0.73, 0.68, 0.69 ondemand is the system CPU governor. $ cat /etc/init.d/ondemand | grep -i short # Short-Description: Set the CPU Frequency Scaling governor to "ondemand" I hope that helps the debug team and give people a possible fix. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585765 Title: Ubuntu 10.04 random freezes _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
