My desktop, an emachines dual core freezes in Lucid since yesterday's OpenOffice and other upgrades. No flashes, beeps or boops, it just freezes. The Karmic partition is fine.
It will function for a few minutes, but always freezes when trying to check for updates, whether with the update manager, the terminal or Synaptics. The power button is my only relief. My laptop Lucid partition is unaffected. The only difference I can remember yesterday is that the laptop refused to upgrade yesterday until I unchecked an OpenOffice bin file (which unckecked all the other OO upgrades) and installed the other items first. I was then able to download and install OO 3.2 without any negative effects. The desktop upgrade did not produce an error and upgraded everything at once. After a reboot, the freezing started. I don't keep any personal documents on the Lucid desktop partition, but if I have to re-install, it will be the third time, and I'll likely wait for the official release. Alphas don't seem to like ATI/Nvidia cards. I can't find a way to get into a terminal. The recovery mode stops booting before the console appears, and if I press Ctrl+Alt+F2 I just get a few white blocks on the monitor.
