Public bug reported:
Kubuntu Gutsy Gibbon.
Old home partition backed up to usb hard disk.
cp -R fails at various points ( 48MB to 18GB) and freezes the Desktop.
There is no way out except a reset. (Alt +SysRq reisub has worked
occasionally).
Desktop and Mouse do not usually respond at all.
Have attempted:
connecting hard disk to Windows and copying via smb share.
connecting to direct m'board ports rather than hub.
copying one folder at a time.
Have tried cp -Ruv and it gets a little further each time but eventually the
same thing happens.
Very frustrating when moving from Feisty to Gutsy.
Otherwise the system seems to work flawlessly and is problem free except
when copying files.
