I ran some tests yesterday as this host was crashing too frequently and unusable. I reloaded from scratch with a 12.10 x64 distro and disabled UEFI and also created an XFS root disk partition as opposed to the standard ext4 filesystem. Only Firefox was loaded. the Nvidia drivers had not even been installed and X froze. I was able to ssh in and see the Noveau errors in syslog. [scrollback truncated]... i was unable to capture the errors today from yesterday's session.
I made some changes and my system is now running stable. Not a single crash. My choices were to purchase a different graphics card (big unknown) or to reload a know good OS. $ cat /etc/issue Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS \n \l Sorry ubuntu 12.XX -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1077427 Title: System randomly hangs.
