same problem. whenever a large file activity over usb or a large amount of activity over wireless occurs the pc freezes. also some of my usb ports will no longer recognise external storage devices. I am using a AMD 64 3000+ with nvidia 5200 graphics edimax pci wi-fi card.
Also occurs at seemingly random intervals, pc can run anywhere between 5mins and 2days after login. commonly only runs for 30mins to an hour. Not only is the usability of the system impaired but also seemingly the stability. This issue has been posted here now for 2 months yet i do not see any decisions made over the bug with the importance 'undecided'. This bug is obviously a serious one as anything which leads to system instability can have major implications. Whether it affects one person, or from what i have found on the internet, many, this is an issue which needs addressing and what is more the users need to be made aware of these issues and what is being done to try and source the cause of the issue and at what stage they are in developing a solution. This is not just a small problem, this is something which is rendering many machines unreliable and unusable. I moved from windows to ubuntu 6.06 without problems, yet when i upgrade from 7.10 to latest release and find that it is proving more unstable than the Vista installation on my siblings laptop something is desperately wrong. I fear it may be time to move distros. -- Ubuntu 8.04 Freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228633 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
