Dax's bug title and first post sounded like my hal-info problem but his second post sounds like my powernowd problem *if* by "screen still freezing" he means the text cursor stops flashing in kdm. Dax?
My XP2800+ machine install was from a Jaunty Desktop Alpha 4 ISO. A default install of a Desktop Alpha 2 on an XP2400+ machine VMWare VM has powernowd but a Desktop Alpha 5 does not. So I guess only people with certain CPUs upgrading from pre-Alpha 5 install will get hit by the powernowd freeze. For example, my CPU does not support frequency scaling and I don't think Dax's Celeron does either. Grizzly, did you install off Alpha 5? If you are saying that you can work on your Jaunty machine remotely then we have different symptoms because I can't ssh remotely into the box after the kdm login screen text cursor stops flashing. The mouse cursor doesn't disappear it just doesn't move. All I can do is a hard reset. Does the KDM login screen text cursor stop flashing for you? lsmod output is attached. I am seeing CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE=y in the 2.6.28-8.24 kernel config diff so I think that means the modules are now built-in. They are available in 2.6.28-7 but not available in 2.6.28-8 apart from /lib/modules/2.6.28-8-generic/kernel/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq: e_powersaver.ko. Looking at the powernowd script, at one point it seems to decide whether the modules are built in by checking whether the architecture is ppc and exits sharply if it is. So I think that powernowd either hasn't caught up with the changes being made to the kernel or the plan is to remove it from the repo. ** Attachment added: "Antex lsmod output" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/23510261/lsmod.2.6.28-8.without-powernowd.txt -- [jaunty] Keyboard and Mouse Frozen on Login Screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335297 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
