Update on my above statement. CPU usage continued to be at 100% after killing Hardware Tester. It stayed that way until I rebooted, despite no obvious processes still running. Upon reboot I ran it again and the program ran through all its tests and finished normally.
Small detail that may or may not be relevant: the first time I ran it I wasn't asked about my network hardware. The second time I was, and that was the time it continued on to the end. -- hardward testing for laptop freezes in hardy heron at mouse test https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203395 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
