Hardy 8.04 locks up completly

not a gnome-utils bug.

How do you know its not a gnome-utils bug?

Any ideas how I can debug this problem and solve it? It's pretty annoying :-(

may you stop filing it in gnome-utils? take a look to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage to see to which package it could belong to. thanks.

Hi changed it now to linx-source-2.6.24

I think the following could be the problem. Always after a hang I can read the following in the reports.

Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = 314003840071 ns)
Time: acpi_pm clocksource has been installed.

Tried alreday to add clocksource=acpi_pm in /boot/grub/menu.lst but this didn't seem to help :-(
(Did of course also the update-grub)

The system still froze after a restart and I was very surprised to read again the warning above in the kernel log file....

Any Ideas what I can try next to fix this really annoying problem?

Removing Ubuntu task, as there is already a linux task and this report is still listed amongst the bug reports with no packages assigned

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

Hi peterr_100,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux-image-`uname -r` 244376

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
