I've just had a major problem with Ubuntu. I'm running 9.04 with all updates as of 23rd August 2009 on an ASUS F5SL laptop. I've attached some pictures (images.zip) that can help illustrate this problem better. I have a problem that is similar to this bug where my computer freezes occasionally when connecting to a network. Usually I just hold down the power button and restart and everything is fine. Occasionally when fsck runs it finds a few inconsistencies but fixes them and I get on with my day as usual.
However this time I loaded up Ubuntu (the computer had not crashed beforehand) and upon login I was greeted by an error. I didn't/couldn't take a screenshot but it was saying that an item in the gnome panel couldn't be loaded. I pressed close and then had an error saying that x or my graphics couldn't be loaded. I had to restart the computer and then the major problems began. The loadup screen would run as normal but then my screen would go all glitchy (glitchscreen.jpg) This would blink a few times and tehn my system would become unresponsive. I restarted and fsck would run at the loading screen and would stop after 13% saying that there's an error and that I must run fsck manually I tried pressing esc at the grub bootloader and running xfix. This did nothing. I tried booting in recovery mode and fsck would run automatically and stop at 13% with the same errors as above (fsck.jpg). At first I ran memtest but after 63% and an hours wait with no errors I was advised to cancel it and run fsck manually after it failed to do it automatically. I got several messages along the lines of "Inodes 92192 count wrong. Fix?[y/n]" (manualfsck.jpg) I pressed yes on all of these and then restarted. The boot screen loaded as normal and then I got the glitch screen again. Luckily I am able to load up a LiveCD and backup all of my data, which makes me feel more comfortable with the idea of reinstalling. However, what I want to know is what is this problem, where is it and how can I fix it? I have the proprietary graphics driver installed for the ATI card and have done since I installed Ubuntu in March but that has never caused me problems. From the start Ubuntu has occasionally been crashing due to wireless issues. Is this a case of a bad wireless card, bad driver, proprietary graphics card messing things up or something that I have missed along the line. ** Attachment added: "images.zip" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/30695704/images.zip -- System crash when using wireless https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296578 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
