I've just experienced the same issue as the user above. I've just finished installing vsftpd and was attempting to ensure it was configured appropriately by ftp'ing to localhost. As soon as I hit the enter key (after entering my user id) there was no more response from the system. It took me a while to realized that the system had indeed crashed as I was not doing anything else in particular other than waiting for the command prompt to return to the familiar FTP prompt. The CAPs Lock LED on my Z61M ThinkPad laptop had been flashing all the while but I was totally oblivious to it. I rebooted the laptop and tried to ftp to localhost again and got the same result. All this time, I had my Nokia N97 mobile phone and a USB-to-Serial adapter plugged in to the laptop.
A quick search on Google brought me to this bug report. I then disconnected my phone and attempted to ftp once more and got the same result. After reboot, I then disconnected the USB-to-Serial adapter and this time ftp was successful. If anyone needs more information, I'm willing to try anything to get this sorted though it is not urgent as I now know not to attempt an ftp to locahost when i have other USB devices (other than the mouse) connected. ak. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to vsftpd in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/622810 Title: after logging into ftp (vsftpd) ubuntu crashes -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
