The Aviv, as per http://www.asus.com/us/Desktops/M51AC/HelpDesk_Download/ an update to your BIOS is available (1002). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Once the BIOS is updated, then please mark this report Status Confirmed. Thank you for your understanding. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- 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/1387420 Title: System freezes when performing a backup bash script Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I attached the bash script I use for performing backup. When performing backup, I connect my external hard drive and a flash drive, open a terminal window, and execute the script. Half the time it works without a problem; the other half, the system freezes and I need to restart the computer - but the backup still performs correctly; the freezing seems to happen immediately when it's done.
