Well - as mentioned earlier - I was having problems earlier with random/sporadic "Black Screens". Based on threads etc. I suspected problems with video drivers and intel chiopset.
Anyhow I had reproducible test case (System > Admin > System Testing > Video tests => Crash) After trying out a lot of fixes (new kernels yadda yadda) I finally bit the bullet and went back to ubuntu 9.10. So far stable. I tried the video tests, but the part where it cycles thru different resolution modes -where it usually crashed- is not in 9.10 so nothing definite at this point. I notice my xserver-xorg-video-intel is version 2:2.9.0-1lubunt2 I might try to install that particular driver on ubuntu 10.04 at some point (when I have time) to see what happens. In the mean time, I'll see how stable this baby is running on my dell optiplex gx260 Pentium 4. (Given I ran it successfully in past with win XP/wubi I'm hopeful) Seems to me like this thread is capturing information about a lot of different bugs and I have to say I'm really disappointed and disillusioned with ubuntu (esp. stability) at this point. Considering going to "rock solid" debian....this baby seems a helluva lot worse for crashing than windows 95 ever was. BTW: I'm loathe to ever take an update again!!!! I'm relative new to linux - my initial dabblings were very favorable but Ubuntu 10.04 seems to fall over more often than a drunken toddler! -- Ubuntu 10.04 random freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585765 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server 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
