Just an update - not strictly true to say No freezes, but freezes are much less frequent now without Adobe flash player.
It is still incredibly frustrating that this bug was reported here in October, the 64-bit forum still has dozens of people moaning DAILY about it, and the Importance is still "Undecided"....... FOLKS - DON'T YOU GET IT!!!!!!! WE CARE!!!!! We care enough about Ubuntu to go on trying to get it working, we try work-around after work-around, we turn off this and we turn off that, just so that we can go on using some core functions, and it STILL doesn't run reliably. This is affecting LOTS of people, not just a few, not even just the ones who complain. Half the posts on the forum (out of HUNDREDS) say something like "I give up - I'll come back later to see if it's fixed - maybe". Ubuntu is losing people who WANT to use it, on good, modern machines capable of running a 64-bit OS, but run into an unacknowledged (for weeks) bug, and see no sign of progress on fixing it. Could we at least have some feedback, so that we persistent few can get some idea that maybe something will get fixed? Or are we all waiting for April? I haven't DARED try Hardy 64-bit yet - even the 32-bit version won't upgrade the kernel to 2.6.24 for me yet, because I need ATI drivers.... -- 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
