Like a few of the others, I'm getting rid of Jaunty and heading to something else (not exactly sure what, yet). It's simply taken too long for any real hint of a solution to appear (except perhaps downgrading the X server from 1.6.0 -- I still haven't encountered any problems with 1.4.2 -- but tha

Just to add my own input and a few other things: I've done two of the things suggested here that appear to have solved this problem for me. I don't know if either of them alone would have done it, since I made both changes at once. Basically, I upped my "Virtual" size to 2048 2048, and I applied

@mnicky and others: I'm now basically certain that this bug has nothing to do with the "Clocksource tsc unstable" messages; the title of the bug should probably be changed. After I added "nohz=off" to the kernel boot line, the freezes still occurred; others who followed suit had the same results.

I believe that I suffered from this same bug (I suffered from a bug with the same symptoms, anyway--though I didn't try XAA as the original poster did). Like the rest of you, the problem disappeared when I upgraded to a 2.6.29 kernel; for me, it was 2.6.29-020629-generic. (I didn't try any others

Thanks for reporting this bug. I can confirm that it also exists in Jaunty with Nautilus 2.26.2. Steps to reproduce are basically as you described: go into a directory in Nautilus, right-click on a file and select "Rename...", and then (without doing anything else) click "Up" to enter the file's

I just want to add my own confirmation, and the relevant files, here. Like everyone else, I encounter seemingly random system freezes on Jaunty. On the same machine on which I encounter these freezes, I have no problems running Crunchbang 8.10, Debian Lenny, or ArchLinux -- the issue occurs only w

@alcCapone: You said, "ALT+SysRq+K does work for me. Tested is yesterday." By this, do you mean that it worked to break you out of the freeze? Or do you just mean that it works for you in general, but you haven't been able to try it to break out of the freeze yet? If the former is true, then thi
