I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 side-by-side with Windows XP.
Today, all of a sudden my system kept freezing up, forcing me to manually power-down my computer. Well, I tried picking an earlier kernel to boot from and, sure enough, there was no longer a problem.
Lately (F14 and F15), Nvidia's drivers have been making my system freeze unexpectedly when running X. The only work around I have is reverting to an older driver (173.14.30). Although no freezes occur when using the older one, I need the latest one to run a few games sometimes. The odd thing is that when running these games within Wine while having the latest driver installed prevents the system from its usual freeze. I'd just like to solve this problem so I don't have to consistently revert back and forth from the two. I have a Nvidia Geforce 8800m gts and I am running F15 x86_64.

View 9 Replies View RelatedPreviously we ran a 2.6.23 Linux kernel on our systems. We have now upgraded to a 2.6.32 kernel and are in the process of testing to make sure everything works. We have a driver for a Magtek Intellistripe 65 that was previously working in the 2.6.23 kernel. Originally it didn't want to be loaded into the 2.6.32 kernel at all. I had to make some changes to the code (ie replace kill_proc and other functions that have since been removed/replaced) and now when the card is removed the system freezes. I have a feeling that it could be to do with changes to usb-core, but i'm not sure.
I looked through and diffed the kernel for changes to usb-core, but i cant see any earth shattering changes to it, so i believe it still should be working fine. I've tried my modified version on the 2.6.23 kernel, and its all working fine, so it wasn't my changes that broke it.
I juset reinstalled my ubuntu and i can't update to the latest kernel. I'm stuck at 2.6.31-15. Also my grub is v1.94 Beta4 and can't upgrade it to grub2.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI reported a bug at [URL].., then I had been asked to test the latest generic kernel in order to test whether the bug exist in latest kernel or not. I had read the information at [URL]... I installed the most current version of generic kernel. After that, I restart my computer and try to use the latest installed kernel. Then, the laptop freeze. Then, I restart my computer by turning off and on again, select the older kernel, successfully boot into Ubuntu to post this thread. What can I do since I am required to test the latest generic kernel?

View 1 Replies View RelatedTwice now I have received update notices informing me of header upgrades which I installed, both required a restart of the system. Usually when this happens there is an additional item in the grub menu. The last two times this has happened I didn't get an additional menu item. What is the latest stable version? I am currently running:
2.6.32-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 20 14:21:58 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I did try a "sudo update-grub2" and the menu didn't change.
Update to latest kernel 2.6.38?

EDIT: I found this guide [URL].. and I will give it a try
I can't go into text mode after latest kernel update. CTRL-ALT-F1 doesn't work. Actually, all CTRL-ALT-F1 to F7 work very strange. For example... When I click CTRL-ALT-F2, it close all my windows and screen flash
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm running Hardy 8.04 LTS 64bit. The Update Manager updated the kernel and then asked if I wanted to use the local version of the grub menu. The boot menu was getting so long I edited it to shorten it. Other options were also offered, like the builder's version, but I chose the local version and since then the new kernel doesn't show up in the boot menu. Sudo update-grub doesn't restore it to the menu.
How do I undo the local version of the boot menu so I can see the newest kernel?
The microdia driver although notprovided by the manufacturer or ubuntu was available online and supported upto 9.10...but not instead of supporting it natively the support has been completely removed...i am able to compile the driver but it doesnt get inserteda complaint was also made on the launchpad bugs section and the ubuntu brainstorm page also but no action seems to have taken.....

I just want a shell so I can remove lm-sensors or whatever package I installed that's made my system unboobatble.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSince an Aptitude upgrade to my Debian Squeeze operating system (using video driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86-195.36.24) some weeks ago, which installed linux kernel 2.6-32-5-686, grub has been giving me two boot options (in addition to MS Windows). I expect that this is quite normal so far ...
However, if I try to boot using this new kernel, rather than kernel 2.6-32-3-686, I can only get the command line interface. Everything seems to work after boot with the new kernel, except (although the system seems to load kdm successfully) I cannot start X. Booting with the old kernel still takes me to the desktop as normal (I've set KDE to automatically bypass kdm, as I'm the only user of this standalone PC), and because of this I've been slow to address the issue with kernel 2.6-32-5-686, but since the problem doesn't seem to be going away with more recent upgrades, I suppose a request to the forum is the only way to go:
So, is the problem I'm having the same as was addressed in this thread? If not, would I only need to reinstall the same NVIDIA video driver so that it recognises the new kernel? If not, would installing NVIDIA-Linux-x86-256.35 solve the problem, and would I have to deinstall the old video driver first? Finally, if and when I solve the problem, can I safely deinstall the old 2.6-32-3-68 kernel?
I am getting a black screen on the latest kernel upgrade 2.6.31-20. My computer completely boots up, but goes black after a minute or two. For now, I am booting up with the previous kernel.

View 9 Replies View RelatedThe latest Kernel update (2.6.35-25-generic) killed all my sound output on my Toshiba Satellite M115.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've noticed a bad behaviour with the latest 2 Fedora kernel releases:
- it happens with 2.6.31.12-174.2.19.fc12.x86_64 and 2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.x86_64
- but 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64 is OK
The problem is as follows: Any kind of terminal application (any X based terminal and the console itself) hangs on certain operations involving colors from what I've seen
E.g. 'ls -F --color' as predefined in Fedora works but 'ls -F --color -a' hangs. Midnight Commander also hangs but works on black and white.
My terminal is xterm-256color under X and linux under console.
Other observations:
- it happens on a AMD machine but not on an Intel i.e. not all hardware is affected (couldn't narrow it more)
- same machine, same software stack but with kernel 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64 works OK
