Near perfect, but freezing occurs

[tobyadams]

So i downloaded the Beta, and that was crap. I downloaded the release candidate, and that was crap. And i downloaded the "RTM" as it were, and its not too bad, i think there is still a long way to go with regards to its stability and little bugs, but, on the whole, this is a spanking release of the project.

My problem, everything is fine and dandy, and i really want to use this (on an alternate machine), but there is one big problem, now that my wireless connection stays up and other nasties have been ironed put in the final release, one major bug still remains (for me anyway). I can just be surfing the net in the fantastic FF3b5 and listening to 1.fm - x radio stream in Rhythmbox and everything will freeze on the screen and the sound resembles that of an old skipping CD. And then, thats it, nothing else until i whack the reset button.

Does anyone have any ideas to what might be causing this?

Plx, post your box specifications aswell graphics driver you use. YOu may have a look under System > SystemPreferences > SystemProtocoll (I am on a german box, so buttons *might* be named differently)

This is a known issue but noone has yet, as far as I can tell, found a single cause - many people are finding the exact same problem with a huge variety of hardware and software setups.

What appears to have solved it for me, so far at least, was to upgrade the kernel to 2.6.25. This is hardly an ideal solution for most people.
