This is a screen shot I took with my camera (computer was unresponsive) in the course of troubleshooting random freezes I started experiencing with ubuntu 10.04. I have tried revery release including the present 12.04 with the same result.
Hardware HP dv4 laptop Intel i3 processor Intel video This was created by booting to a command shell (no x-server involved) and attempting to write an iso to CD. Although the messages indicate a hardware error, I reinstalled Windows 7 on this machine in 2010 and it has run flawlessly for the last 2-1/2 years. Since the resolution of problems at such a fundamental level exceed my current abilities, I gave up on ubuntu for day-to-day use. I hope someone can interpret what is going on here. ** Attachment added: "freeze screen shot" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/908335/+attachment/3267648/+files/ubuntu_freeze_screen_shot_20100514.jpg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/908335 Title: Kernel Hard Freezing Very Often To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/908335/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
