Hi guys, need some serious help here.

Upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10 on my Dell M1530. Here's my problem:

My computer will cease to respond at random. When this occurs the x-Lock LEDs will flash, I think it's the Scroll Lock and Caps Lock LEDs that will flash.

The computer will only work again after a reboot.

This is highly annoying and keeps me from getting much done. Has anyone experienced this and solved it?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

SOLVED by installing the package:
