I had upgraded to Kubuntu 8.04 from 7.10 on my laptop LG LW40 and started experiencing very strange system freezes. First times I was unable to understand what is causing such freezes and each time I was doing different things on my laptop.
But later I found the way how to reproduce freeze 100%. 1. I open some URL in Firefox (tried 2.x and 3.x versions). 2.1. Copy some text on the screen by selecting it with mouse and simultaneously press few keyboard buttons. It is enough to repeat these two actions chaotically couple of times to get system freeze. 2.2. Also freeze is reproduced if I press Ctrl+F in Firefox (search toolbar) when having some text selected and start typing in the search field. Actually freezes randomly (but less frequently) occur when I do not even have Firefox running, but I pointed out the Firefox just because in this way I am reproducing the hangs in 100% of cases. In the above way the hangs are repeated when running on live CD with Ubuntu 8.04. And before the upgrade I have never faced such problems. So I think this is something wrong in our new Kubuntu. Interestingly, but in my case disabling the wireless card does no help out. In the above way my laptop freezes regardless of using the WiFi card or not. To S.R.Parda: Could you please check out the above steps and let know does it freeze in that way? -- Ubuntu 8.04 Freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228633 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
