A few more tests, working on my Dell Inspiron 1501 now. Basically the problem continues. I tried using gftp and the system hung after transferring about 1-2Gb of files.
Thinking it might be a window manager thing, I used alt-F2 to get a console, then tried the transfer with wget. I got a lot of files, probably 5Gb, but eventually the wget froze midway through a transfer. No messages in syslog in either case. Hard reset only way out. Remains a show-stopper, on both computers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/758384 Title: system hangs during copy from usb disk -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
