I haven't used Transmission in quite some time because I have been
focusing on other problems/bugs/life, however, I discovered today that
Transmission STILL causes a kernel panic on my T42 Thinkpad after a
random amount of time. Sometimes it's 5 minutes, sometimes it's and hour
and happens regardless if the computer is being used or not.
Oddly enough the kernel panic does NOT seem to occur when the laptop is
on battery, but the battery is old and only lasts for about 30 minutes
so I have not extensively tested that.
This problem is something that happens 100% of the time and is
completely reproducible: Make sure laptop is on AC power, Open
Transmission, wait some time, watch it crash and burn (KP). Clockwork.
This is with a very nearly "stock" and fully up-to-date install of
Ubuntu (Maverick RC) with no other running applications and no settings
in Transmission have been changed.
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu maverick (development branch)
Release: 10.10
$ apt-cache policy transmission
transmission:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 2.04-0ubuntu2
Version table:
2.04-0ubuntu2 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/universe i386 Packages
This problem has rendered Transmission completely useless for use on my
Thinkpad!
