I have found a solution that completely stops it from crashing. It's not an Ideal solution but it works for me.
Remove the acpid by typing this: sudo apt-get remove acpid I have been running my computer like this for a few weeks now without it crashing at all. This still loads the acpi module when booting and you can prove this by looking in /proc/acpi Most acpi events still work but you will have to load the button and battery modules manually or add in /etc/modprobe.d/ if you want them. -- Gusty crashes when the lid is closed on a HP 6710b https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157691 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
