I, too, can confirm this bug. I also noticed the connection when I flip on the wireless hardware switch - it freezes then, too. I thought they were separate issues (they may still be), but reading above makes me wonder if it is indeed related. I can boot up about 30% of the time. Adjusting the brightness freezes it. I can live without adjusting the brightness, but the 30% boot success rate and the failure to boot at all on battery is not an option for me anymore. Real embarassing going to meetings and spending 15 minutes power cycling my machine. (It'd be funny if it wasn't so frustrating) REAL close to just going back to Windows 7 64-bit. Been dealing with this for upwards of 6 months. Issue existed in 11.04 as well for me.
I am running 64 bit 11.10, and VMware Workstation within Ubuntu with a 64-bit Windows 7 Guest for certain business apps. nVidia 2000M in my case. 16GB RAM. I will try the suggestion by Andy (abeani) above and update below. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/776999 Title: [Lenovo W520] laptop freezes on ACPI-related actions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/776999/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
