I have exactly the same behavior as the one described by Akkana Peck. My system is a "Compaq Presario 2805 EA" laptop running Feisty. The bug was also present with Dapper or Edgy.
The only workaround I have is to manually set the CPU Frequency to its lowest value (1.2GHz instead of 1.4GHz) using the Gnome CPU Frequency Monitor applet (by default the profile is set to "OnDemand" and I set it to "Powersave"). With this workaround I'm able to run any CPU intensive task as long as needed. Maybe the problem deals with CPU frequency change when running intensive tasks to prevent CPU overheating ? I'm also following bug #22336 which also seems to deal with CPU frequency change problem. -- runaway kacpi_notify https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/75174 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
