I would like to confirm the bug , occurring in an HP5100 desktop that I use at work. I started using Edgy on it last January , and it worked fine. After upgrading to Feisty two weeks ago , the bug made it very difficult to use the machine, requiring power cycle 3 or 4 times a day.
When the bug occcurs, neither the "top" shell command nor System Monitor shows what is locking the machine, you can only see the HD activity led blinking like crazy. At System Monitor screen, CPU, RAM and Network usage %s exhibit low values . But this may not be valid , because they are frozen, possibly in a value before the bug occurred. "top" also freezes , or almost , since it updates the data only every 40 seconds , or more. I have dclock running all the time (a digital clock KDE application), and this clock also freezes during these occasions, not even the colon blinks... The box has plenty of disk space and swap area , which is rarely used. I tried unplugging the network cable to stop network traffic , makes no difference. If I let the box in peace for several minutes , let's say , some 40 minutes , it gets back to normality. kernel 2.6.20-16-generic 512MB RAM - 1GB swap Typical applications running when bug occurs are : wine 0.9.37 , running Lotus Notes vmware , emulating a Windoze 98 - 128MB running Novell Netware Administrator java 1.5.0_11 , running SAP/R3 Front End (PlatinGUI ) -- ata timeout freezes system partly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/37382 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
