Could this have any similarity to the NVidia infinite loop problem (http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=4432&st=0) that many people seem to have on windows? I have this problem when i boot to xp and the problem seems to be the same judging by the description if i disregard that people mostly seem to have this problem when running vmware.
I've had this problem once while running virtualbox with xp inside it from ubuntu 8.10, the xp inside virtualbox showed the exact symptoms of the infinite loop problem which i have when it happens when i've booted to xp (on xp the screen starts to flicker slightly after a while of being frozen), while ubuntu showed the exact problems described by all the above posts. I also had the problem on ubuntu while not running virtualbox. I have this problem regardless of if im running 32 or 64 bit versions of ubuntu, although considerably less often on 64 bit. I do not have a 64 bit version of XP although if im right in thinking this is the same problem, im guessing i would have it on that too. Any help would be much appreciated as it seems no matter what i do i cant escape this random freezing. Note: The fix for windows in the post i linked to above on the nvidia forum did not work for me on my xp install. -- X freezes running vmware (server and workstation) when using network https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117219 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
