Ubuntu 8.10 causing Major Issues w/ Sound and OS Stability

[DDurcsak]

To any and all:

Loaded 8.10 shortly after it came out. OS specs:
UBUNTU: 2.6.27-7 / 8.10
and system started to act up almost right away.

I had started with Ubuntu 8.04 and everything worked fine..system screamed.

Problem was first noted when playing video on Firefox (3.0.4) and there was no sound. I checked Sound Preferences and when I ran test the following msg came up:

audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512!
audioconvert ! audiosample ! gconfaudiosink:
Failed to connect stream; invalid argument

Can not close out error box.

Another issue is that some applications will hang and system has to be hard rebooted.

I then went to the User.Log and found this for each day after I loaded 8.10 Ubuntu:

I have pretty much the same issue

Playing AssaultCube, sometimes it locks and Ctrl+Alt+Backspace is only way out. When I log back in, everything is extremely slow ie: Alt+F2 can take 10 seconds to bring up run dialogue but iotop, top etc show no load, no major activity. Hard drive is mostly idle.

Then AssaultCube won't reload, Flash won't work, freezing the browser for 20 seconds if I try and hit and flash site that uses sound.


Restarting alsa or pulseaudio doesn't fix it and the only thing that corrects it is to reboot the machine. It's only been an issue since stable release of 8.10. I don't remember this happening earlier and I have been on Ibex since late Alpha.

Here's a sample of user.log

There's certainly a bug somewhere relating to the audio but I can't easily replicate it to do a trace

I'm going down to 8.04, 8.10 seemed to unstable for now.
