[Bug 376996] Re: Sudoku not acknowledging winning solution
An interesting note Steve, whenever this happens I simply close and reopen the program and find that a square is already missing that I know I filled in. I've had the program do this on a consistent basis now so yes I was totally wrong before. I wonder if there is some kind of a memory bug going on so the program 'forgets' an entry or maybe it gets corrupted and can't tell that there is an answer in each box so it thinks you are still playing... The next time it konks out try double checking to make sure every entry is there and then close and reopen it and see if again every entry is in place. It's funny because I thought I was forgetting to fill them all in so it took a while to see that my memory (while still not reliable) wasn't at fault. Mike I've had your scenario as well and if you close and reopen the game, clear all squares, and then fill all squares it will do it. It's really strange - try closing and reopening then have the game finish the board for you and see if it acknowledges the win. My bets are on a memory problem. -- Sudoku not acknowledging winning solution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/376996 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 376996] Re: Sudoku not acknowledging winning solution
It is not known the exact minimum number of given numbers to solve a sudoku with exactly one solution - this is open problem in Mathematics. My guess is that an algorithm finds a solution and the game grades according to it - this can be solved if the solution algorithm is modified to take into account the possibility of multiple solutions. I claim the bug is directly related to the multiple solutions problem. -- Sudoku not acknowledging winning solution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/376996 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 993187] Re: ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently.
Hello everyone, I was playing around with this bug earlier today and I believe I've made some progress as locating it. By chance I disabled power management for my monitor, Ubuntu 12.04 has no screen saver so I didn't worry about that, in order to watch a movie without interruption. As luck would have it whenever I enable power management for my monitor I have the video problem; yet when I disable it the problem vanishes. I am currently using the Xorg-edgers ppa to have a heavily updated version of the open source ATI/AMD driver and I experience no issues anymore. Also, this ppa installed 3.5 kernel which appears to be behaving quite well. Even flash plays at full screen now which is amazing. So as a possible band-aid until the problem is fixed I would suggest disabling power management for your monitor - much easier than recompiling a kernel or wading through a git tree. Hope this helps! There wasn't any error messages generated for those interested - I experience the problem just like everyone else...

[Bug 993187] Re: ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently.
Hello again, please disregard my comment above. Watching Hulu at fullscreen caused a lockup. Again no errors... One last thing - a question really. Does anyone else notice that the system clock goes haywire whenever this happens? It is really funny to watch as the minutes fly by like half-seconds, and for a brief moment when I hit the power button a dialog came up asking me how I wanted to shut down - I think it timed out to suspend but the time counted down so quickly I missed the preselected option. Well back to square one I guess. :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993187 Title: ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently.

[Bug 993187] Re: ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently.
Hello again, following S. Christian Collins' instructions I placed the clocksource=hpet command into the default grub sequence (which seems to only get more complicated as grub versions increase) but I am not entirely sure how to check if it is active. I have all of the debug stuff in dmesg available by using xdiagnose to insert the appropriate kernel debugging commands at boot time, but I only see a 'kernel command line' article that gives the kernel options from grub and no mention thereafter of a clock source. It didn't throw an error or say it wasn't using it so it must be doing something. As to power management, I ran 'xset -q' as Jeremy LaCroix recommends and I can say that DPMS is enabled but that its event timers are all set to 0 so I imagine that is effectively off. I'll try adding a monitor section explicitly disabling DPMS in my 90-custom.conf file from the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d directory. I'll try to make my system crash some more and report back what happens.

[Bug 993187] Re: ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently.
Okay I'm back. The results are not very good... The clocksource=hpet unfortunately did not have any effect and it seems that power management is also not effecting the freezes - I went so far as to use the mysterious (even to Xorg) "NoPM" option in the ServerFlags section. I'm going to try Kevin LeBlanc's idea of using a lowlatency kernel (specifically 3.2.0.23.20 in the version info under synaptic) and I'll see if this helps.

[Bug 993187] Re: ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently.
So I used the lowlatency kernel and got an authentic kernel panic when playing an h.264 video through vlc (using the XVideo output). So either the problem persists there or it is something else. I'm kind of running out of ideas on what to test and how to approach this problem.

[Bug 993187] Re: ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently.
I am VERY to report that the instructions given by #91, installing the 3.3.6 kernel, completely resolves the problem. I am using the non-pae kernel and the stock xorg packages. Initially I was using edgers to get access to the newer ati drivers (which work quite well if it weren't for this bug) and the 3.5.0 kernel they use must be tainted with this bug as well, or it is some other stability problem inherent to that ppa. So to reiterate - I reinstalled Ubuntu 12.04, fully updated it and followed thread #91 to resolve the issue. Can this get fast-tracked to the mainstream updates? It seems silly to sit on it when so many people are effected by this bug.
