Ubuntu :: 11.04 Freezes After Surfing Around?
Apr 30, 2011
I recently upgraded to 11.04 and when I browse to pages that use the flashplugin the whole system froze. So I installed the flashplugin that somehow got deinstalled and while installing the system froze again. I fixed the dpkg and then I could connect to websites using flash but nonetheless the system freezes after some seconds using any browser. I have a Netgear WLAN card that uses Windows drivers as there are none for linux. It worked alright in 10.04 for a whole long time. On my netbook with 11.04 everything works like a charm...

I"m a newish Ubuntu user, but have been running some flavour or other for the last 5-6-7 years. Anyway, I just recently installed Maverick and have to say it's polished compared to the last version I tried ( maybe 6? ).
I am however having a frustrating issue while surfing the web. After a 2-3 minutes using firefox, 5-10 minutes using chromium - the whole system seems to lock up solid. The mouse/ keyboard no longer respond. I've read through a few log files and nothing seems to stand out, though I may be looking at the wrong place. I plan on running some system monitors, and top when I get home to see if they show me anything. Just thought I'd come here to ask for any other things to have a look at.

I have been having come problem, my surfing speed has gone to zero. I can download at full speed but surfing is crawl speed or just timing out. I am pretty sure it's because firefox is clogged, I just want to know is there a way to clear the clog w/o losing my settings? I fixed this before by making a new user, but I don't want to loose all my saved form's and bookmarks.

I do have a problem with my internet connection at home, I've a Huawei router and ubuntu 10. When I connect to the internet whether wireless or wired I become able to surf the internet for less than 10 min then it cuts off! and to be able to surf it again I need to restart the whole system!
I used this command to restart the networking but in vain
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
On windows I do not face this problem with the same internet connection. I do not face it either when I'm using my campus wireless connections using ubuntu/windows!, so the problem is related to my home connection+ my OS.

I have a handful of openSUSE 11.4 machines that I allow users to use the GUI for web surfing and writing documents and I am meanwhile running scientific computing jobs in the background. Every now and then, someone clicks "shutdown", "reboot", or "hibernate" and ruins my afternoon.
I've searched Google and these forums for ways to prevent a normal user from shutting down the system, but so far haven't had any luck in finding a solution. I have found instructions for just about every other Linux OS, except openSUSE though. These machines are running LXDE, but my preferred solution wouldn't depend on the particular desktop solution in use.

My 32-bit Ubuntu 9.10 [Karmic Koala] LTSP server has two NICs, one with Dynamic IP set by a DSL modem and the other with static IP of 192.168.0.254. I also have 4 thin Clients that boot from this server without any problems and another computer with Ubuntu 9.04 running some PHP programs with dynamic IP given by the same DSL modem. When I send requests to these PHP programs from thin clients, they all give the LTSP server's dynamic IP as their IP so I cannot trace who has sent this request to response back.
I actually know this is logical. Because the requests are sent by a program that's actually running on the LTSP server rather than the thin client. But my question is How can I run a program on a thin client with it's own IP? I also should mention that the dhcp3-server service running on the LTSP server has no conflicts with the DSL dhcp on the network and I know that the 4 thin clients get the IPs ranging from 192.168.1.101 through 192.168.1.104 from the dhcp3-server service. Because I can ping them while they're on. but /sbin/ifconfig on them shows info about the LTSP server.

We are having a cluster with couple of disk servers, compute nodes and a head node. Disk server is nfs mounted on all the compute and head nodes.
The problem is that if any of the disk servers hangs, it freezes rest of the cluster too which is dangerous. Ideally, cluster should not care about the hanged server and run without any problem except files from that server is not visible.
Is there any way I could avoid the problem of freezing cluster because of one hanged server?

Ubuntu 9.10 with the 2.6.31-20-generic kernel was my default for a long time. Since I reinstalled GRUB2 after a brief time using legacy GRUB, however, 2.6.31-20 just locks up the machine. If I choose the 2.6.31-19 kernel from the GRUB2 menu, things work as expected. If I choose the 2.6.31-20 kernel, I see the Ubuntu splash logo, then the login screen only briefly - then the screen goes blank. After that, nothing happens. I've let the system sit for hours, but it doesn't do anything further. I have already run update-grub, so GRUB2 definitely has the most current info on my Ubuntu install.

I have a laptop here with win 7 and decided to dual boot with ubuntu just for fun. Win 7 starts up, works, and shutdown/restarts fine. Ubuntu starts up, works great, but freezes at the splash screen showing "Ubuntu" with the bar scrolling when logging off to restart. Please help. I dont think holding down the power button to turn it off is too good. i searched google but found nothing =/
Edit: Shutting off works fine now... its just the restarting problem

I am new here, and clueless as to what im doing. Soo.. I installed Ubuntu 10.04 i386. It took me forever to install because it would hang up (Mouse lock and light go off, keyboard lock, screen lock) every time i got to the graphical part of the installer, so i used the alternate installer. After installing correctly, it would still lock up within 3 minutes of login. Now that ive removed one stick (512) of ram, there are no more problems.
Here is my comp config:
Installer: ubuntu-10.04-alternate-i386
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3200+
Motherboard: Albatron K8T800
Ram: 1 gig Corsair ram(2 x 512) **Note, I removed one to get the comp to work, so its actually 512 now.
Video: Nvidia Geforce 6800gt
Both sticks of ram are the same so it is not because of mix and matching ram.

Everything was OK till now. Here's the problem:Looks like it's freezes. It's showing just Ubuntu logo and 5 red dots underneath it while starting up. No signs of booting up (dots aren't changing colors to white). Last thing I did in Ubuntu was changing OS language from Croatian to English. After that, at next startup it start to freeze every time while booting.

I have a Hp pavillion dv5 (laptop) running Ubuntu 10.04 with all of the updates. When i start it up i can move around the mouse just fine. As soon as I hit enter to log in, the mousepad on my laptop stops working completely. The mousepad doesnt work nor do the buttons. However, if I plug in a USB mouse the USB mouse works fine, but the mousepad doesn't.

I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS , and I liked it a lot, however I'm having a little trouble. My PC freezes randomly for about 5-10 minutes and after that everything works fine again, then it freezes one more time and so on... I've been doing a little research and found nothing useful. I've got an Intel Pentium 4 HT 3.2Ghz Processor and an Intel DGCC101 Motherboard with an Ati Xpress X200 chipset.

I have just installed ubuntu on my second laptop. However, this one is giving me some grief. After several minutes, it completely locks up. No mouse, keyboard, anything. Just frozen solid. I had some issues installing it, and got around them by checking something like "nolacpi" and "noacpi" with the live cd, but now I don't know how to re enable those options. I'm quite computer savvy, but am still learning how linux works. For refrence, this is the system specs:
HP Pavilion Zx5000
Pentium 4 3.06GHz
ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 GPU
1GB RAM
60GB IDE Hard drive

Today I turned on my netbook as usual, and was greeted by a black screen, no sounds, no colors, just black. Tried rebooting into another kernel and also to recovery mode, to no avail. It's always the same black screen.
It reboots with Alt-sysrq-b, and ctr-alt-del; but that's all it does. Didn't respond to any other command that I tried.
I also went into GRUB menu and erased the 'splash' thing from the text, and also tried going to rescue mode, the first one was exactly the same as before; the latter said that the command didn't exist.
For the record my netbook is an Acer AspireOne 751h, and I'm running Ubuntu 10.04.

A friend of mine told me about Ubuntu, so I thought I would try it. I put it on a USB Flash Drive to boot on startup. It brings me to a menu where it tells me to start Ubuntu from the flash drive, Install it on my HD, etc... And if i try to run off USB or Install to HD, it runs through the start-up (runs the files) and then goes to a black screen and stays there. I had it setting for an hour and nothing happened. I have the AMD64 iso. I have also tried the windows installer, and same cenario.

I've been using Ubuntu for a while now, and ever since I installed 10.10 (I did a clean install) I've been having problems with the computer completely locking up... nothing is responsive. I've not had this problem on any prior Ubuntu version. The problem started after I installed the updates for ubuntu... I have a hunch that its either the nvidia driver i installed or the latest kernel thats causing the problem. I'm using the proprietary driver for nvidia and my card is a GeForce6100 nForce 405... the kernel 2.6.35-22... as you can imagine its quite annoying having the computer lock up.. P.S.- the freezes aren't exactly random, they happen generally when I'm using high CPU %'s (e.g. when i import all my music at once to rhythmbox and playing spring rts)

I have a Foxconn with Intel 330 processor, 1 gig RAM, and 80 gig hard drive. Unit will freeze when using the mouse at infrequent intervals. I had Edubuntu 8.10 installed and have now installed 10-10 Ubuntu to rule out software issues. During the new install, the video would stop after a period of time, and could return to operation by moving the mouse. The same mouse,keyboard, and monitor are being used on three other computer boxes using a KVM switch. The problem is unique to this Foxconn box. An identical Foxconn box runs normal and is set up as a server
After the unit freezes, I can use the alt-ctr-sysrq RES to eliminate the GUI. This tells me that the Linux system is still running.
What segment of the system log should I be examining? Is this an IRQ issue?
