Comment 53 for bug 204996

Glad I could help. I have 1 Gig of ram so its not using my swap which is why i can still use apps that are already open as long as they dont read the disk, i think. I hope the fix you're trying works out. I really want to use hardy (gutsy doesn't have cd in on the audio mixer so my tv tuner card doesn't have sound, it sucks watching tv without sound, hehe)
Can someone else with this problem see if they could get their comp to do what mine does? Next time it freezes just wait and don't touch the keyboard and don't click anything, and see if it comes back. Then see if it can read from the disk by trying to open new apps or something. I just want to make sure that my problem is the same as everyone else's that reported this.
