Frozen: Dell Dimension 2400 Intel 82845G/GL/GE Chipset

[emackey3k]

I have a Dell Dimension 2400 and have had this problem with a clean install. I tried all the fixes in this thread and none seemed to work for me.

I haven't had the problem with kernal 2.6.32-23. Unfortunately I do have the problem with kernal 2.6.32-24. So for now I am booting with kernal 2.6.32-23.

I gave up & installed debian. it works.

Going to try a video card if I can find one tomorrow.

Ubuntu 10.10 doesnt have this problem.
My lucid install stopped doing it eventually,
but 10.10 has no graphics card problems at all for me.

Everything works perfectly.
Ill keep my lucid install for awhile,
but i think im going to switch fully to 10.10 in a couple months..

Possible fix - disable OpenOffice QuickStarter.

After putting up with this problem for a long time and learning to save and save often, my system has not crashed in over two weeks. I disabled Quick Starter because it was causing the gui shutdown (icon in the panel) to not work as well as making the update notifications window unresponsive. Since doing this I haven't crashed in over two weeks - down from 3+ crashes in a 8 hour day.

I don't have another 82845 machine to try this out on but I would like to here from anyone else who is still trying to use Lucid with the 845 chipset.

I haven't crashed in over two weeks - down from 3+ in 8 hour day. I disabled QuickStarter because of other problems and haven't crashed since.

Is there anyone still dealing with this that could try to verify? I only have the one 845 chipset machine.

Let me know

We have a Dell Dimension 2400 and have this issue. I am sorry to say that Open Office Quick starter is not enabled and we still have crashes.
I have made a boot CD for Ubuntu 10.10 beta and ran from the CD. I did not see the problem but really need to let the system run longer to be sure.
I would be very happy if 10.04 was fixed because I like to run the LTS versions.

I would also be quite happy if 10.04 worked as it should.

Even though my PC no longer freezes/crashes in 10.04..
the graphics problem still persists.

I still cannot use stellarium in 10.04,
and if i attempt to.. the PC will crash.
blacking out, white lines, etc.

Rather weak, as it is an LTS, which Id much rather use than an RC, but if i have to switch to 10.10 just so everything works properly, i will.

wish I could use 10.04 though.
everything works, except the couple of things i use often.
But that doesnt cut it i guess...

though 10.10 does seem rather 'flawless'...

Is it confirmed that this bug is resolved in 10.10? I'm about to fix my sister's computer with this problem, but if it will be fixed in the 10.10 release in 2 days I'll wait before trying everything in the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes

Is this bug fixed in 10.10? Anyone?
