I saw that NetworkManager doesn't lock up if I DON'T start dbus before. I started a recovery mode session :
1) without dbus : r...@computer:~# /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start * Starting network connexion manager NetworkManager [OK] r...@computer:~# /etc/init.d/dbus start * Starting message system bus dbus [OK] => This doesn't freeze r...@computer:~# /etc/init.d/hal start * Starting hardware abstraction layer hald [OK] r...@computer:~# /etc/init.d/gdm start Everything works, but when I want to connect with NetworkManager, the icon reports that NetworkManager is not running. If I try to run it, my computer freezes. 2) with dbus : r...@computer:~# /etc/init.d/dbus start * Starting message system bus dbus [OK] r...@computer:~#/etc/init.d/NetworkManager start * Starting network connexion manager NetworkManager r...@computer:~# Loaded plugin ZTE Loaded plugin Option High-Speed Loaded plugin Option Loaded plugin Gobi Loaded plugin MotoC Loaded plugin Huawei Loaded plugin Generic Loaded plugin Novatel Loaded plugin Nokia -- wait a long time -- [103.079999] BUG: Soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s!

I have a nvidia 8500 GT graphic card using nvidia's driver and my system is up to date. I tried to remove nvidia-*, this bug still happens. I tried this on kernels 2.6.30-8, 2.6.31-3, 2.6.31-4, 2.6.31-5. I attached my gzipped /var/log/kern.log, it seems that there is something interesting there (I saw the word segfault) ** Attachment added: "kern.log.gz" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/30643402/kern.log.gz -- [karmic] system freeze at startup when loading gdm after upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/412046 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
