To WeatherGod - I downloaded the file:
Ubuntu-10.04-beta1-desktop-i386.iso and wrote it to a cd-rom. Booted the same computer identified in post #94 and started the trial version option. For 3 - 4 minutes, the trial version ran normally. I checked System- Preferences-Appearance-Visual Effects and found it was set to "normal". Then... it froze. Looks similar to the problem found in U-9.10. I wonder if a work-around would be to set the U-10.04 installation so it uses an Appearance of "none". Wonder if this will allow the next version of Ubuntu to run on computers that now freeze with U-9.10 and the beta of 10.04??? If people can use U-9.10 with the visual effects off, perhaps it would be OK to default w/ them off and let people experiment. The documentation could explain login with failsave option to turn return to "none" if 'normal" crashes the system. Not sure if this is workable - I think that turning off the visual effects may allow use of U-9.10 .... good luck tom -- Gnome Freezes -- Ubuntu 9.10 -- big time freezes. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/461163 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
