HD seems fine, though if you know of a good way to run a check on it, I'd be glad to do one.
Other than this issue, Ubuntu is very stable on this machine. I've been researching this crash for over a week and the whole time the system only goes down when sound is involved. I've left it on and actively used it for over two days without any problems. I've suspended to ram, suspended to disk, resumed without issue, switched from the linux OS to WinXP plenty of times. I've been basically running the system as if the issue weren't there and I've had no other serious problems...as long as I don't try to play any sounds. If I just leave the volume muted, it runs great. The extent of testing I've been doing led me to conclude the issue was with the sound subsystem. If you look under Replication, you can see how many different things I've been doing...the only common factor in crashes has been audio playback. -- Ubuntu 7.10 having random system failure on Gateway M350WVN (sound issue) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182402 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
