I have been running Lucid for a while now and i am afraid the bug is still present in Lucid. That is, i have experienced similar behavior in Lucid *but* ... first of all it is much less frequent, where - in Karmic - the problem would occur eight out of ten times i have the impression that it dropped to about two out of ten in Lucid. The lockup in Lucid is more severe though, in Karmic one processor core would lock up leaving the other available for none shell tasks, this happens in Lucid too. The difference is that in Karmic you would not be able to open anything shell related, in Lucid you can still open a shell related task which will then lock up the second core and thus lock up the whole system. The only option at that point is Ctrl-Alt-SysRq b or a cold reboot.
To emphasize; this bug renders a system totally unusable, Karmic as well as Lucid!! Just a short list of apps i found impacted by this bug: Konsole, Xterm, bash, Kmail, sshd and any form of shutdown or reboot I could add any app that requires shell access at some time! -- Konsole LAG/Freezes when Typing - Kubuntu Karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/443318 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
