I have installed ndiswrapper instead of b43 and ssb... My computer still freezes.
Conclusion: it is not a problem of b43 or of nvidia. Since i have done no other change, it is surely a problem caused by the upgrade from Feisty to Hardy, most probably the kernel itself or a new module in the kernel. ** Description changed: - Binary package hint: linux-image + package: linux-image-2.6-amd64-generic - pakcage: linux-image-2.6-amd64-generic - - hints: new kernel, b43 wifi driver, other reasons? - - Linux ubuntu 2.6.24-8-generic #1 SMP Thu Feb 14 20:13:27 UTC 2008 x86_64 - GNU/Linux + Linux ubuntu 2.6.24-11-generic #1 SMP Fri Feb 29 21:26:31 UTC 2008 + x86_64 GNU/Linux From time to time (every 10 to 100 minutes) the computer is frozen with no reason. It dosen't matter what i do when it freezes. With no reason, the image is frozen, the mouse is not responding, and i can't switch to - any terminals either. I think the kernel is the problem. + any terminals either. It hapends since after updating to the latest + alpha a few months ago. - It hapends since i've updated to the latest alpha feisty from gutsy a - few days ago (so upgrade to the kernel also) - - Other changes i made is installing the b43 proprietary driver for my - wifi card (instead of the old ndiswrapper driver) - i do'nt know if it - is because of this driver or not. - http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 - - On my gutsy i only had the old nvidia driver buffer overflow in compiz, - but it didnt made the kernel freeze (it slowed down the computer) so i - guess it is not realted to this old bug. + hints: the kernel, a module of the kernel (other than nvidia, ssb or + b43), other reasons? -- computer frozen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194523 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
