Ubuntu 9.10 doesn't work well on this computer. I tried upgrading at the end of November but my computer kept freezing up and I reverted to 9.04 (which worked like a charm). I tried again yesterday (to my regret). Booting using kernel 2.6.31-16 sometimes hangs and otherwise the computer tends to lock up at some point. Booting into 2.6.28-17 (which I'm using now after the computer froze halfway through my message) works better but wireless is turned off at startup and the touchpad doesn't work.
Tonight, I tried a clean install of 9.10 on a new partition but that didn't go well either. That intalled 2.6.31-14 but that produced a "lightening" icon. If I clicked on that, I got a message that the kernel was unstable and soon after the computer froze. Running dpkg repair from recovery mode installed kernel 2.6.31-16 and that seems to work (but with problems of freezing at boot-time). Weirdly, The screen resolution is set to 1024x768, with no option for 1280x800 which I have now. So I'm considering reinstalling 9.04. Under 9.10 the suspend and hibernate problems are different. Suspend works but wireless is disabled on wakeup and I can't get it working again. Hibernate does not work, the computer goes directly to wakeup mode and prompts for a password. On resuming, wireless is broken. I hope this is at least useful information. This is a very common computer in the Netherlands at least, available at the popular discount department stores and electronics shops. It's a pity it doesn't play well with Linux 9.10 and that the suspend/hibernate problems persist. -- computer freezes when resuming after a suspend https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/399831 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
