It would be helpful if you define what you mean by "reasonable fix".

The chroot sandbox option posted by coldcritter64 might be the best option for attempting to run a proprietary program from a...

Thanks for the input. Yeah, I tried this rout too, but the computer was still freezing even after trying every driver for nvidia available in the repo's as well as the proprietary ones from the...

Thank you mörgæs and Sef,

Yes I have run mem test for almost 48 hours while I was out of town and it reported no errors or problems.

Yeah thats what I thought too. Unfortunately after getting a brand new CMOS battery and testing it with a voltage meter to make sure it was good and replacing the CMOS battery with this known good...

I agree 100% that it could be any of these things. Just wish I could isolate the problem a bit more.

Ok, marking this thread as solved.

According to the udev material there should be a way to target rules for a specific device so for example everything else gets auto-mounted except for that...

Dennis N,

I've been researching udev rules and tutorials since yesterday. Really heady stuff, sorta puts me to sleep after reading to much of it. Thanks for the information on "80-udisks2.rules"...

[SOLUTION UPDATE:]
I've rebooted and the USB drive was not automatically mounted.

[Things I've changed:]
The "/etc/fstab" for the USB drive is now as follows:
...

This seems like it might help to narrow this problem down a bit, but I'm not quite sure how yet.

[Questions:]
1.) Is there any way you might be able to check and report how the Lubuntu...

To be complete I just wanted to note that I did take a look at this, and it seems to have two problems:
1.) It uses complicated map files that are difficult to understand.
2.) It appears to only be...

[UPDATE:]
Strange behavior continues. I've changed fstab to this:
UUID=d56d5d73-9da0-48ab-a72a-1ceb6e1f2088 /media/USBStick ext3 rw,suid,exec,noauto,user,async

...and after a reboot "mount -l...

Thanks for the clarification, and suggestions.

...Still searching for a solution (see post #9 above).

[UPDATE:]
I still can't stop the usb drive from being automatically mounted on bootup.

[What has changed:]
I placed a line in /etc/fstab as follows:

UUID=$deviceuuid /media/USBStick ext3...

oldfred, nerdtron, and Dennis N;

[Things Learned:]
I've figured out that this problem only occurs after a reboot and not after a logout then login. After the reboot I do see the "uhelper=udisks2"...

The suggestion in post#3 did not work for me, and in fact non of the solutions that I've been able to find so far on the web (when searching for invalid VPN secrets) have worked to solve this...

I just checked and autofs is not installed on my system. This means that "automount" which is part of the autofs package can not be doing any auto mounting since it isn't installed.
