I installed Elementary OS which is base of 10.10 ubuntu http://elementaryos.org/ The Drivers i installed to get the wireless working is Keng-Tu's hew-wireless PPA 2.6.0005.1116.2010-1ubuntu1~maverick2 Elementary Os is a really gutted(slim version) of ubuntu 10.10 to make it run faster on slower hardware and after running/testing the OS for 5 days i have notice only 1 experience of frozen screen lock up, compared to 3-4 lock ups a day with ubuntu 11.04
Another thing i notice is that sometimes when i keep my lid open for it to sleep by itself it will lock up the computer. The screen will be black and the keys will be unresponsive to anything, the sleep and power buttons seems to be flashing rather then have a sold green color and the only way for me to get it working again is to do a hard reset. I have only experience this twice and have not be able to experience this problem when closing my lid to put it into sleep(sleeps fine with closing the lid). In conclusion the OS is a lot more stable compared to running 11.04. I think that their must of been some type of upgrade ubuntu did that interferes with the wireless driver to cause the system to hard lock or maybe it some program/software/drivers ect that elementary removed (since elementary is a gutted out version of ubuntu 10.10) that help fix majority of the problems we are having. If anyone has an installed version of ubuntu 10.10 Maverick with the same wireless drivers installed and post their experience on here and compare it with Elementary OS and see what results you get, we might be able to find out what is causing the hard lock ups. Because if we come up with the same results it might just be some upgrade ubuntu did and if it different and still getting the same crashes it might just be some program/sofware/drivers ect that affecting the crashes that Elementary OS removed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/769812 Title: X120e crashes randomly (wireless?) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
