11.04 crashes with screen dump

[bond1973]

I've been using Ubuntu for a while now, but I'm far from experienced, so bear with me please.

At least once a week, but typically at least 3 times a week, while either sitting idle or working away my screen suddenly goes black and I am presented with a bunch of text.

I'm linking to an image I grabbed with my cell of said text. Sorry, I couldn't think of a better way to grab the text. Any guru's available that can take a quick peek at this and give any ideas why it's doing this. It's been happening...really I think maybe just a few months. I thought it may have had something to do with a vbox update, but I can't say for sure.

Any input is much appreciated.

Hi

It looks like an issue with your filing system modules (ext4 and jbd2) crashing with a null pointer.

Run the usual checks on your hard drive such as SMART (long test) and fsck. That would be my starting place to ensure it's not hardware.

Can you give more detailed specs of your system.


sudo lshw

and


uname -a

are good starts.

Kind regards
