It looks like that you have overwhelmed the I/O capabilities of your usb stick, which brings the system in near freezing states.
This happens when you do to much tasks in parallel and it is easy to archive this on a usb device(have just tested this). So, I tend to say that your problem is not so much software dependend. It is a hardware bottleneck. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1029245 Title: kernel freeze while try to watch online video with other apps open To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1029245/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
