Public bug reported: I've had 3 system freezes after the last (jun 17, 2006) kernel update. I'm using i386-686 2.6.15-25.43.
On three occasions, my system has frozen (nothing responds) and required power off to reboot. I couldn't even get C-A-F1 to take me to a terminal. I'm running a pci nvidia-glx card, and using dialup ppp. On all 3 occasions I was on the internet. The first time, I was opening links to add additional tabs in firefox and the system froze. The next two times were downloading big files overnight .. in the I found the system frozen. I'm using kde-3.5.3 from kubuntu. But, none of these problems occurred before this update, so I believe something in the update was the cause. I will try rolling the kernel back to see if that might be the problem. I am a 5+ years linux user with moderate to high knowledge. regards, Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'linux-image'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- system freezes after last kernel update https://launchpad.net/bugs/50323 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
