[Bug 376996] Re: Sudoku not acknowledging winning solution

2010-02-24 Thread Chowno
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

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 acc

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

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-seco

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 avail

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

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. Anyone got an idea

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) a
