I've narrowed down the problem to enabling wireless, see updated bug description. Please note that I'm no longer running the beta of course!
** Summary changed: - Hardy beta crashes + Hardy crashes with rt61 wireless ** Description changed: - I haven't clue why this is happening, but Hardy crashes randomly. Everything freezes including the mouse cursor, I hear the sound of the hard disk turning off (I think that's what the sound is), ctrl-alt-f1 to ctr-alt-f6 doesn't do anything, nor does ctrl-alt-backspace. At first I thought it was Firefox's fault, because it only seems to happen when I'm browsing, but then it happened when I was running Opera. This happened before and after I installed the restricted graphics driver, and enabled compiz. I'm using Wicd instead of Network Manager because Network Manager refuses to work on my WPA2 connection with my rt61 card (seperate bug filed). - I haven't clue how to debug this or get extra information since the ctrl-alts don't work. I'd be glad to follow some instructions. + Ubuntu 8.04 final release with some updates crashes frequently. When it + crashes, ctrl-alt-backspace and ctrl-alt-f1 through f6 are ineffective. + This only occurs however, when wireless is enabled. Disabling wireless + using network-manager-gnome's right-click menu on the icon solves this + issue temporarily. + + This is my wireless card + Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
