[Bug 461163] Re: Gnome Freezes -- Ubuntu 9.10 -- big time freezes.
To WeatherGod:
I ran a test on a different computer today and have some interesting
results. The computer is described below - the data from running the
"lshw" command. My test was to boot from the U-9.10 install disk and
select the trial run option. I did not install the operating system on
the hard disk. The computer currently runs fine with the U-9.04
operating system.
I was surprised to find that the computer did not freeze. It ran
normally. I opened the:
System / Administration / Appearance / Preferences / Visual Effects /
menu
and found that the "None" option was selected. I decided to try to
change that to "Normal" and found that the sytem located new drivers:
NVIDIA 173, 185 and 96. Since I was running from the CD, I did not
expect the driver to load - and tried to load the recommended driver.
After a few minutes, the load stopped and I terminated the process.
I think that it is interesting that when the "visual effects" is set to
"none", U-9.10 runs fine from the CD. I assume that the computer that
crashed with the same CD-Rom has "visual effects" set to "normal".
Cannot verify that because it will crash long before I can load the
menu...
At any rate, I think the result of the test is interesting. Computer
profile follows. tom - - -
