giaconf, I guess Leann wasn't specific enough in her post. When there's a kernel panic, the kernel writes a dump to the cosole. To see this, you have to have a console (any text tty) up when the panic happens. Hopefully this will do the trick: 1. Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get up a console. 2. Touch the touchpad (hope that the kernel panic happens) 3. There will be a backtrace dumped to the screen. Every little detail of this is important. Since the computer now hangs, the best way of documenting this by taking a photo of the monitor. (The other option is to write it down manually - a tedious job)
Here are a few examples of how a kernel panic looks like (all taken from bug 276990): http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19755071/IMG_5432.JPG http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18498544/NCKernelDump.jpg http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18425143/11102008102.jpg -- [i965] kernel panic after touching touchpad https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321972 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
