I'm running the netbook remix on a Toshiba NB100... the exact same bug has been freezing my system since install. The problem was masked by the easy connects to my home network, I just swept it under the rug until trying to take the netbook on vacation... it was a nightmare.
When no network is available, or when the networking is disabled, the system freezes, the only thing in the logs is the intermittent notice from wpa_supplicant as mentioned above. After a lot of frustration, I found that booting into the rescue kernel and starting X manually gave me a working system (with some drivers missing...) but everything was smooth. Booting into a failsafe gnome, the wpasupplicant was still unfulfilled, but the system stayed functional until I started the gdm- launcher. I was able to run anything as a command or from the standard gnome-menu shortcut, but as soon as the gdm-launcher was activated, the freeze was on. I am still new to linux, but the pattern I observed seemed to be an interaction between networking and the gdm-launcher. Everything worked fine with either gdm or networking (unconnected). I hope this helps. If any logs or info from any of these trials would be helpful, let me know. -=b=- -- wpa_supplicant causes system to crash. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/468519 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
