[Bug 993187] Re: ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently.
Kevin LeBlanc, I have a very similar Machine, Dell D610, I915 Chipset, 1 Gig Ram, 80 Gig HDD. I was about to format and go back to vista or 7. I will try your excellent detailed instructions and report back. My freezes seem to only occur with FF 13 open and when I press the super key, or dash home button. I am running a totally up to date clean install of 12.04 32 bit. My temps are good (range from 40-55 C). Odd thing is does not always happen, but when it does the KB is totally locked, there is no flashin disk activity light, the USB and touchpad are able to move the mouse but I can not get any of the click button to do anything. I am running 3.2.0-25-generic-pae. I closely watch system monitor and never go above 50% usage Memory and 20% usage of my 1 GIG swap partition.

HUGE kudos to Kevin LeBlanc, my system is stable thanks to his solution. See post 329 above for details. Now if I could just play flash videos in FF 13 without my temps soaring to 70 C.. (my work around is to use my ASUS with win7 (LOL) "You may need to go into the "Previous Linux Versions" in order to find the older kernel. If this is the case, then a step was missed." I must have missed a step but having to do 1 extra key stroke after power on to have a stable OS is a very small price to pay! -- 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.
Tomasz Ostrowski see #328 above, I am not new to computers but a novice to Linux and I was able to do it. As a side benefit I am now confident using Synaptic Package manager, It was the last thing I installed after removing Ubuntu Software Center. I also did a system image using ReDO backup prior to any changes but thanks to Kevin LeBlanc's excellent instructions I had no problems. Does anyone here know if I am creating an image to an external USB HDD is there a "best" file system to have the drive formatted to? I will be using the external for full images only - no sharing with other OS's. -- 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.
In addition to the suggestion in #328, I also disabled java script in FF 13. Edit- Preferences- Content. I always have done a similar tweak with windows & I did it in Ubuntu just out of habit. No freezes under moderate usage for almost 2 weeks now! I doubt this matters but I created 4 partitions when I last did my last fresh install - boot - swap- 2 file system. Then the kernel roll back. (I had been using 2 partitions with the "standard PAE kernel" ) and had many freezes. Thanks Stehem, I am about to dual boot win 7 and 12.04 on a modern 64 bit system, your tip will come in handy! =) -- 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.
