Public bug reported:
I have been using Ubuntu 7.10 for quite a while now without any problems
however since Friday 29-Feb-2008 I am getting frequently complete system
lookups (keyboard led locks, and mouse too) especially when nautilus/x11
is trying to start (but it is that it is more frequent at boot, it also
happen later at any time).
Now I suspect this is due to a security update that was done on Friday.
On my machine I also have Ubuntu 7.04 (no auto update) and Windows XP
and they still works perfectly fine (which tends to rule out a hardware
fault).
So I have cancelled most of Friday's update and since the machine seems
to work fine (has been ok for a day whilst before I could not work more
than 10 minutes without having a crash).
So updates I have rolled back are as follow:
libnautilus-extension1 7.1 -> 7
libvolume-id0 17 -> 16
nautilus 7.1 -> 7
nautilus-data 7.1 -> 7
I was also planning to undo "udev" and "volumeid" but synaptic would not
let me do it (and so far it seems ok anyway).
Now I am sorry that I cannot provide any further details on the crashes
themselves as, when they occurs, I really lose complete control of the
machine and nothing appears in the logs :-(
At present, reverting these updates seems to have done the trick but I
also had to block the automatic update... Did anyone had something
similar??? Any suggestion on how to try and gather more info on the
crash itself (although I suspect it is going to be hard anyway due to
the way the machine crash).
