Hi all,
I am using Ubuntu lucid. It is installed on external USB HDD and I boot into it.
Besides other issues, the most significant one is as follows..
I boot in and start working. Everything goes on fine. As soon as I move the HDD, change its position, etc, all icons tuns into a red cross. Data can't be saved, filesystem can't be accessed and basically no action can be taken.
I have to do a hard reboot to this.
This is a fresh install done around 1-2 months back. It had been working fine since past few weeks. And now this issue of taking a reboot has become very very frequent. Today itself, I had to hard reboot around 15 times throughout the day.
A related issue is also that when the screen is locked and screensaver is runing, and / or I am at the login screen after using 'Lock Screen' option, suddenly the whole screen will turn black as soon as I activate the screen and enter the password.
After this, I have to take hard reboot only.
If anyone has suggestions, pointers on these, request you to share with me.
Many Thanks
sunshine
