Thank you sooooo much Joseph W. My Toshiba was crashing - thank you for the layman terms for us noobs.
Using Comments #50 and #54 I did the following to prevent the freezes on my Packard Bell MZ35 I created an empty file by right clicking on the desktop and choosing "Create Document" and then "Empty File" Then I gave the file the name pcie_aspm I repeated this to create another empty file called wireless The two files were be copied to the folder /etc/pm/power.d I started the terminal with the command ctrl-alt-T navigated to the Desktop folder with cd Desktop and pasted in this command sudo cp pcie_aspm /etc/pm/power.d followed by sudo cp wireless /etc/pm/power.d Once this had been done I pulled out the power lead and found my laptop no longer crashed. I think a restart is necessary as within an hour my computer performed a bizarre reboot that must have been caused by confusing the pm-utils I have had no such crashes since. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/656745 Title: notebook always crashes if on battery (dell vostro 3700 and others) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
