[Bug 267836] Re: Memory intensive programs cause lockups

2009-01-13 Thread keithieopia
Kernel 2.6.27-9 appears to fix this bug under Ubuntu Intrepid, and I can speculate that it's the same case for other Distros as well. Downgrading to any of the 2.6.24 kernels brings this issue back, which leads me to believe it was a kernel or module related and not any specific package. ** Chang

This STILL is present in Ubuntu Intrepid (2.6.27-9). In my case b44 (wired connection) loads ssb before ndiswrapper (wifi). Blacklisting ssb does not work because then wired connections fail, and update-initramfs -u does nothing for me. However, A far easier fix to the issue for end users is to ed

While your issue sounds similar to my fixed issue, it's ultimately a different problem. Under my issue, the system completely locked up without warning or cause and could not be unfrozen... my problem was with 99% certainty something buggy in the kernel and not related specifically to ubuntu as it

In general the biggest causes of lockups are bad RAM, usb related issues (ssb, ndiswrapper), or video drivers. Make sure you test each one of these rigorously and include how you did so and the results of the test. Rather then having several people continue to post that this issue still isn't fixe

Not sure if I've fixed it, but at the very least slowed down the frequency of lockups. A combination of these options in xorg.conf when using the fglrx driver seem to help: Option "VideoOverlay" "on" Option "TexturedVideo" "on" Option "AGPMode" "8" ** Description changed:

Not a duplicate of #133192, freezing occurred last night. I ran Memtest for 32 hours on each computer, then before submitting the bug, I ran it again for ~23. Since I ran it on all 3 computers and it passed (and three separate computers are having the problem), it's pretty much save to say it's no

I've heard from other bugs that downgrading the kernel to 2.6.24-16 stops the freezing for most, so I'm going to try that and see. Also, I'm going to try the new Intrepid kernel to see if it stops the freezing also. -- Memory intensive programs cause lockups https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/267836

The way most i2 connections are setup is that if you're on i2 and the destination is on i2, then the router will simply use i2, so to find a list of i2 Ubuntu mirrors one would simply compare the i2 member list to the Ubuntu mirror list. Ubuntu Mirrors: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors
