Comment 145 for bug 204996

I THINK I FOUND A FIX FOR THIS BUG!

I reinstalled on a wing and a prayer, but this time with the alternate cd. Everything seems to work perfectly. I havent had any lock ups, although ive only been on it for like 30 mins(but it usually locked up way before that). Ive installed a couple programs, updated, im currently running firefox pidgin and tvtime, and i was also using vlc to listen to music. So far, no lock ups. I hope this fix works for everyone else. (and i hope it keeps working for me!)
All the other problems that i had are fixed(which were mostly with the release candidate, because the final release wouldnt work at all): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4866559

I can finally use my Hardy Heron without the live disk. FANTASTIC!
