Hmmm.......did my reply to Drew go to just him?
This gmail sort-by-subject thing can get weird.
Anyway, I wanted to make sure my symptoms were included in this as well, so
here it is:
Great thread.
I've been having intermittent lockups on my machine since I installed
UbuntuStudio on it about 8 months ago.
Started on Hardy. Now on Intrepid.
It took me so long to get Compiz working with my Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 that
I don't want to even think about moving to Jaunty.
I've ran memtest at least 3 times now with no errors being returned each
time. I used to think it had something to do with a screensaver (and the
nvidia driver) but I don't think that's the case. I've been sitting in
front of it while it's happened and it usually goes like this:
1. usually Firefox dies (last night it happened when I viewed a myspace
page so it almost seems like a Flash issue)
2. the screen goes blank (black)
3. my mouse cursor turns into the spinning cursor although I can still
move it for a few seconds (10-15 or so seconds, I'd say)
4. finally, a 100% freeze although I can still see my router/hub
blinking so it looks like there is network activity
Then I have to do a hard restart.
Funny thing as sometimes it won't happen for a couple of weeks and I'll
think, "Sweet! It's fixed!"
Then it'll happen twice in a day. Can't imagine that it's good for the hard
drive with all these hard restarts.
I have a mac laptop sitting nearby though. I'll try the ssh bit when it
happens and maybe I can figure something out.
