@Mike, Yes, there seems to be a correlation between the problem and wireless. The problem is that many of us are also using proprietary drivers in one form or another. For example, the ath5k driver doesn't work well for me as it is almost constantly rate adjusting, even when instructed not to. I get better performance with the ath_pci driver, which is however not an open source driver. Though I've had the lockups with both drivers. Which would normally be a good thing since the lockup with the open source driver could potentially lead to debugging and a proper fix. However, there's the matter of my video card, Quadro FX 570M, which requires the nvidia drivers for decent performance (even in 2D).
The point being that to this point I'm not aware of a single system that we can point to with only open source software and drivers on it that experiences the problem. As long as the proprietary drivers are in place, the devs will likely want them removed, and then the problem recreated. Unfortunately that's something of a no-win situation, at least for me. The bug isn't easy for me to reproduce, and I sometimes go days without seeing it. So, operating on the ath5k wireless driver and nv (not nvidia) video driver wouldn't be much of an option for me. -- Thinkpad T61p hardlock flashing caps lock https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/300693 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
