Public bug reported: Since upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 beta on my Thinkpad T61, I encounter system freezes (screen freezes, caps-lock light blinking) some random time after boot. Can be after 5 minutes or even after couple of hours. I've noticed that it was more likely to happen during IM conversations either via Pidgin or Skype, but that might be coincidence, since it happens also during other times.
My current workaround is to deactivate wireless through the gnome network manager. When I do that I can work the whole day without a crash. That's why I suspect something related to wireless to cause this. I've tried booting 8.10 with the 2.6.19 kernel (which worked under 8.04 without problems) but with same results. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- 8.10 freezes on Thinkpad T61 when Intel PRO/Wireless 4965 enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/283129 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
