["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dariusz Gadomski, as per http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M4N75TD/#support an update is available for your BIOS (1701). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Multiple 'task blocked for more than 120 seconds' messages in dmesg

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After playing around for some time (usually from a couple of minutes
  to about 45 minutes) my Android phone becomes unusable through adb
  running on Ubuntu.

  All calls to adb (e.g. adb devices, adb kill-server) just hang and they don't respond to Ctrl+C etc. The adb application is listed in ps output as defunct:
  myuser     8405  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        Zl   19:14   0:00 [adb] <defunct>

  Cannot kill adb or restart it. It did not happen before 11.10 and still happens on current 12.04.
  I assume it's not related to adb version because it does not happen with the same binaries (I share the directory) on Fedora 16.
  I cannot mount the phone as USB mass storage as well.

  Please examine the attached dmesg output for the 'task blocked'
  messages.

  I have to reboot my PC to make the phone accessible from the PC again.
