Sorry, here's some more information. If my machine boots into a text mode login instead of KDM, there's nothing more that can be done at that point; it's frozen and not even TTY's or SSH can access it. If I do by some stroke of luck get to type anything, I'd do "sudo reboot" and it would freeze harder with a stack trace displayed.
The only way out of that is to press the physical reset button. Then, I pray for KDM to appear. If it doesn't, it will freeze again and I have to keep resetting until I get in. After resetting, I do "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo touch /home/forcefsck" to check my file systems. After all that, I reinstalled from the latest daily image, and it still fails. Sometimes the Live CD will exhibit the same behavior. Finally, when it does come up, not all is well. At that point, if I open up a Konsole window or switch to a TTY, I can execute commands for about 30 seconds. After that, it freezes completely. If I use any command dpkg or apt-get related, it will freeze instantaneously. Sorry to type walls of text but I need to make sure you guys have as much info as possible. -- Karmic Doesn't Boot Most of the Time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434395 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
