After some more experiment, i can confirm that the curious thing is that X is involved. Using nv or nvidia driver does not matter (should i try vesa ?).
When i start a file transfer to my external HD using nautilus and immediately switch to console, everything goes normally, so does if i directly use the cp command in console mode. The freeze only happens when X is active. Is there anything i can do to provide more information? I can't execute Alt+Sysreq commands to dump information on in the console because the bug only happen under X. -- [hardy rc] ehci_hcd causes complete system freeze https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219759 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
