After reading some of the recent comments in the 64-bit forum I've tried changing the flash player. I uninstalled the nonfree player, and had no freezes with Firefox or at any other time. Then I added gnash, and am still not getting freezes, with 1.2GB RAM.
My freezes were classic complete hang-ups - no input, no cursor movement, no way out but the power switch. More often than not while Firefox was opening a window, but sometimes when it wasn't even open. It does look as if whatever is buggy is stressed particularly by the Adobe flash player. I still have nspluginwrapper installed; maybe it's just not doing anything. I'm on the "old" kernel, 2.6.22, and using the "old" fglrx driver, 8.37.6. I've tried to strip the 64-bit Gutsy system down to minimise the number of possible causes - not running powernowd, for instance, or even acpid. No compiz (incompatible with fglrx 8.37.6 unless I use xgl)....... -- gutsy amd64 freeze crash lockup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157777 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
