Public bug reported:
Greetings, all, Long story short: Avid Linux head for years, set up Ubuntu 7.x on this laptop back in May. Never had a single problem or crash until upgrading to 8.10. Now sure what the cause was but I was using VNC to access the machine from remote, noticed the desktop locked up, and it forced me to do a hard shutdown. The first couple of times it happened I got an Error 17 with Grub loader; the superblock was hosed. Used a LiveCD to fsck check the drive, still ended up with weird errors and then yesterday I finally formatted everything and built it from the ground up. Everything was looking great until a few hours ago when the "crash" happened again. Per the support policy, I've attached the logs and a couple of results files from PartEd (in a .tar.gz file). ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Ubuntu 8.10 freezes, hard shutdown, Superblock and filesystem corrupted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/334707 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
