[Bug 491280] Re: Ubuntu 9.10 Freezes
I am also still experiencing this problem intermittently. It does seem to happen more frequently when I've left it idle but that may just be a consequence of the fact my PC spends a lot of time idle (although I definitely haven't caught it in the act, so to speak, for a while). I'm looking forward to 10.04 when hopefully this issue will be mysteriously resolved just as mysteriously as it first occurred I don't have the proposed repositories enabled but I'm up to 2.6.31-20 now which I assume rules out post #15 for me -- Ubuntu 9.10 Freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491280 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
[Bug 461470] Re: HDD(s) incorrectly detected
I followed John Baab's advice and sure enought there was some old RAID meta data on both drives. I've removed the data (using -rE as suggested) and the Disk Utility no longer things there is a RAID array present.

I'm pretty sure that's not the same. My computer used to totally freeze when I was experiencing this problem. No keyboard (including ctrl+alt+backspace). Nothing. It seems that removing my wifi driver from ndiswrapper did fix the problem of intermittent freezes for me though. -- Ubuntu 9.10 Freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491280 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

Fair enough... was a long shot. My symptoms are the same as yours halcwb (I think). If i'm playing video at the time it freezes and the sound loops the last half second or so that was playing.

[Bug 491280] Re: Ubuntu 9.10 Freezes
I think I've resolved this on my system now. The offending piece of hardware/software appears to be my PCI wifi card. I wasn't actually using the card but I had the windows driver installed using ndiswrapper. I uninstalled the driver and it hasn't frozen since. Might be a coincidence though as it was very intermitent and I haven't used my system that much recently. Bit of a long shot but is anyone else using a similar arrangement...? -- Ubuntu 9.10 Freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491280 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

[Bug 461470] Re: HDD(s) incorrectly detected
I've now tried the recommendation above with mixed results. After removing the dmraid package from the installer the partitioner does now correctly identify the 2x160GB as being non-RAID. However it only makes it as far as the creation of the filesystem before failing with the error that it can't create an ext4 (or ext3) file system on the target drive. I'm beginning to suspect that there may be something genuinely wrong with the 2x160GB drives that the new version of the partitioner is more sensitive to. Does this seem reasonable? Anyone else who is interested in modifying the install CD a good guide is here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization A couple of things to watch out for: You need to install the most recent version of squashfs-tools.

[Bug 461470] Re: HDD(s) incorrectly detected
I spent some time last night playing around with the AHCI/IDE/RAID settings to no avail. In the end I decided to install 9.04 on a new partition (on one of the 160GB offending drives) and then upgrade. The upgrade completed but the system is basically unuseable. The 160GB drives are detected as Solid-state disk (inlcuding the disk that 9.10 is running from - it's not. it's SATA). Running gparted caused the system to grind to a hault, it hangs when detecting partitions. I'm out of ideas.

[Bug 461470] [NEW] HDD(s) incorrectly detected
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ubiquity I have the following system: 500GB - WesternDigital WD500AKS-0 - empty/unpartitioned 160GB - Maxtor 6YM160M0 - Contains various paritions including Ubuntu 9.04 160GB - Maxtor 6YM160M0 - empty/unpartitioned All of the above HDD are connected to a built in SATA controller (ICH8R) on my Intel motherboard. I currently have no problems with my Ubuntu installation. I just tried to run 9.10 RC and after the GUI loaded it told the 2 Maxtor drives contained errors etc. It couldn't detect anything on either 160GB and said there were numerous bad sectors. At this point I ran the full installer to see what the partition tool in the installer had to say. It could detect the 500GB WD but described the 2x160GB Maxtors as being a 320GB RAID array. No wonder it thinks the drives are corrupted! These drives are not in a RAID array. Any ideas why the partitioner thinks they are? Thanks in advance p.s. I've just seen the message below to post some logs. I'll try and post these files in a minute... ** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- HDD(s) incorrectly detected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/461470 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

I should also add that the drives did used to be in a RAID array.

The driver loads fine on mine. It seems to have solved the problem of the system hanging during normal internet use however I still have the issue where the system hangs after pressing the shutdown button on the desktop. The solution is either to press the power button on the pc itself or disable the wireless prior to shut down.

I can confirm that I am having the identical issue as the above users. I'm using: Ubuntu 8.04 ndiswrapper 1.52 WG311v3 I agree with all the above comments regarding the recurrence of this bug. Dowloading torrents does seem to cause the issue to happen more readily. I've also noticed though that the signal strength seems to be quite low every time this happens.
