Yes, it's Natty. I'm not totally sure that this is only hardware problem - I had this problem for a couple of releases, since the fglrx driver stopped supporting my pretty old graphic card, so I though this is a deficiency of the open source driver. As there is nothing in the log files, after it happens, it can be anything, it's a very fortunate accident, that I found this bug report / solution. It would be nice, if this cool and quiet feature can be disabled automaticly on the old machines, or some kernel log, that list's the last operation which tried to perform, something like that you can get after a reboot : $ cat /proc/lastmsg x.y.driver : if you see this, there can be a hardware problem, during executing Z hardware functionality
I know, it can potentially slow down the system, if these messages needs to be written to the disk every time, but it would be nice, wouldn't it ? :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/46470 Title: System freeze with white screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/46470/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
