Comment 113 for bug 204996

Hey Noah,
I think it is just an disk I/O error. I'm pretty sure that at least my problem is. (there may be multiple problems here)
I tried going back to Gutsy, but I'm having even worse problems that are the same as with the Hardy final release (my lock up problem was with the beta, and the final release after i removed my nvidia card, see here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=771115 ).
So right now, and until this problem is solved, I am using the live cd. I have a partition to save all my files so I don't loose stuff in case of a crash or power outage. And as long as I don't shut it down, all the stuff i installed (flash plugin, tvtime, etc.) stays installed. So the only difference is it's slower when starting apps or anything that would normally have to do with reading the hard drive.
