[Bug 641062] [NEW] Complete system freeze when running sudo lshw

 

Public bug reported:

Running "sudo lshw" in Terminal causes complete lock down, even mouse cursor stops moving.
It stops at Framebuffer Devices phase so possibly related to Mutter, Xorg, or video intel

I realize that it's not possible to fix till Maverick release but would
probably be useful to mention in known issues.

Ubuntu Maverick Beta amd64
Unity version 0.2.38-0ubuntu1
Terminal version 2.31.91-0ubuntu1
lshw version 02.14-1build1
Xorg version 1:7.5+6ubuntu3
xserver-xorg-video-intel version 2:2.12.0-1ubuntu4

Intel Mobile X4500

Will try to investigate further and report more details.

** Affects: lshw
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Project changed: unity => lshw
