A small update, the Apport problem mentioned in this thread may have been fixed in an updated xdiagnose package that hit the mirrors today.

phillipblake: You're welcome. Now, should you indeed find that 3.5.0-25 works just as well for you as it does for me (i.e., no GPU hangs), you can get rid of the annoying error messages by disabling...

MadLuke, there is something wrong with the ACPI driver or it's missing outright. While looking for a solution, perhaps you can enter the boot menu (you may have to hold down <Shift> during boot) and...

phillipblake, it sounds like you selected the correct kernel. Apart from seeing error reports, do you still experience the freezes with 3.5.0-25?

Unless you have purged them from your system already, you should be able to launch older kernels from your GRUB boot menu -> Advanced options for Ubuntu.
You may have to hold down <Shift> to see the...

Same here. Unsurprisingly, disabling Apport itself didn't solve it. Have reverted to 3.5.0-25 for now.
Syslog snippet from 3.5.0-26:

This has happened to me twice now. The first time was just after upgrading to Lucid and I since thought it was a one-time hiccup, I just bit the bullet and created a new profile. Well, it happened...

Honestly, I thought you were kidding and started googling - you were not.

I'm wondering the same. It's been a couple of weeks now.

Same problem here. Got a link to that 3.0 version?

I thought I'd mention this as I couldn't find any threads about it. The game installed fine on Ubuntu 9.04 32-bit and looks a bit like C&C. Crashed when exiting the game...

I'm sorry that I can't be of much other help than to point you to this ever-growing thread about freezes in Jaunty: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1135055

graham70 is right, the CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor applet does not show CPU load, it shows what sleep state your processor is in.

If you're interested in CPU load, run 'top' in a terminal, or...

Although downgrading kills kittens, I just had to give up and revert to 8.10 to get things done. I'll leave you with some of my observations and a weakly supported theory.

Observations:

Ugh, strike that. I just had another lockup while doing some compiling in 'safemode with networking', so no X involved even.

Could be overheating, try monitoring the temperatures in your laptop.

It could also be some other kernel bug; I had similar symptoms with a slightly older AMD64 machine and had it fixed by...

Nope, removing the nvidia drivers didn't help. I was compiling in 'safemode with networking' when it locked up again.
Every minute, there is a message showing on the screen:
[ 228.707997] BUG:...

I don't know about the USB drive stuff, but yes, ntfsprogs has always been needed in order to format NTFS partitions in GParted.

Seeing the same here. Something b0rks X. After having lockups with both nvidia 180 and 173 proprietary drivers, I've chucked them both out now to see if that helps.

Another suggestion would be to:

1. Write zeros to empty blocks (to save space when compressing later):

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/0bits bs=20971520 # bs=20m
sudo rm /0bits

2. dd the whole...

Partimage doesn't support ext4 (yet), their homepage recommends using FSArchiver instead.

I have tried the following in Ubuntu 9.04:

sudo chmod o+rw /dev/sda5
dd if=some_file.image of=/dev/sda5

After successful dd, the permissions for sda5 are reset! Is this the intended behaviour?...

rraj.be: No, you can't resize the partitions of a running system from inside this system.

Hi Trev_or,

Sure, sounds doable. First: backup, backup, backup. With that out of the way, let me give you a suggestion of how to proceed.

1. Get the excellent GParted Live CD.
2. Defragment...

I think there is an explanation - by the time he reinstalled 7.04, it was already end of lifed and the repositories had been moved, thus he couldn't apt-get the stuff he needed.
