gpk: I am still suspecting this might be ext4 related. Could you remove ext4 volumes from fstab (since they are unused) and work for a day stressing a system.
Having another system with Ext4 and being stable yet does not prove anything. You see I also have another desktop configured the same as my laptop, but it had never frozen. This is because I only use this machine to watch videos and listen to mp3 (kind of media-centre). I had no time to simulate the usage patterns I do with my laptop on my desktop. Not all of them will be possible due to 512 MB RAM on desktop. But once I will do it I will report the results. I am avoiding removing large amount of files from Ext4, and managed to get stable system for days. Except once when removing virtualbox package with synaptic :) There are some tasks like upgrading IBM WebSphere Portal will always freeze my system. So I am quite crippled with the amount of work I can do with my laptop. -- linux freezes completely since 2.6.28-7 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/338645 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
