Ezra Morris, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc8 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Package changed: firefox (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Tags added: latest-bios-2.6.3 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/680217 Title: Opening a particular web page in firefox causes Linux to crash Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Visiting the following link in Firefox causes the entire OS to lock up. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/viewArticle.arc?articleId=ARCHIVE- The_Times-1935-11-11-13-013&pageId=ARCHIVE-The_Times-1935-11-11-13 On three separate attempts, a slightly different result appeared: - GUI froze with black screen and frozen mouse cursor. Alt-SysRq keys not responsive. - GUI froze on current display. Numlock and scrolllock lights flashing. Alt-SysRq keys not responsive. - GUI froze then faded to light blue. Could sync and reboot with Alt-SysRq keys. This is a serious issue as it consistently causes a kernel panic/crash and resulted in data loss on at least one attempt. I tried to reproduce the issue in a VirtualBox VM, but it worked fine there.
