This is a follow-up to my previous posting about the freeze/lockup problem with 7.10. I'm the person with a Dell D810 who regularly encounters this problem. Because Tim Fuchs felt this bug might be due to the wireless driver, I hung an ethernet cable down my stairwell and ifconfig-ed my wireless interface down. About 20 minutes later, the system locked up hard, just as it has before. When it locks up, the cursor will move around the screen, but the system is completely unresponsive to mouse clicks or keyboard typing. So, it seems like this bug, or at least the bug my D810 is encountering, is NOT related to the wireless driver.
I guess I should repeat my previous question: does anyone know if there is a way to force ubuntu to drop a kernel core, when the system is locked up such that linux won't respond to anything typed at the keyboard? I'm wondering if there is some way to force it into BIOS, and then if there is something that can be typed at BIOS, that would cause a core to be dropped. -- System randomly freezes / locks up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/159398 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
