Hi, I'm getting the same symptoms pretty regularly. I can't actively reproduce it, but probably 1/2 to 1/4 of the times I use my computer it locks up.
You can see I'm getting the LPIB message here: cat messages | grep LPIB Jul 7 20:58:29 squelch kernel: [ 73.830973] hda-intel: Invalid position buffer, using LPIB read method instead. Jul 7 21:11:50 squelch kernel: [ 69.076738] hda-intel: Invalid position buffer, using LPIB read method instead. Here's what I did last time it happened (30 minutes ago). 1) I booted and left the computer on for about 20 minutes at the login screen while I was doing other stuff 2) I logged in and started Firefox 3) Firefox froze after opening three tabs. I closed it and tried to open it, but it wouldn't open. I tried to open a terminal, but the terminal wouldn't open. I could open Gnome Calculator though. 4) I switched to a VT and logged in. I could use command line programs just fine. 5) I noticed that there was still a firefox process. 6) I did 'killall firefox', it didn't kill it 7) I did 'killall -9 firefox', it didn't kill it 8) I got the PID and did 'sudo kill -9 $PIDHERE'. The process hung. 9) On other VTs I soon discovered that any sudo command wouldn't work I used ALT-SYSRQ+R-E-I-S-U-B to reboot the computer since I couldn't use sudo shutdown, or the GUI button. In the past the computer has frozen when I wasn't by it, and when I would come back it would be totally locked up and the fan would be at top speed. -- I'd be happy to provide any information developers might find useful. I'm on Ubuntu 8.04 on an AMD 32 bit machine with 2G of RAM. -- Total lockup while browsing FF https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139443 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
