[clue-tech] Ubuntu lock-up problems

[Dennis J Perkins]

I'm having lockup problems with Ubuntu and Kubuntu.  I'm giving my old
laptop to a friend and I decided to install Kubuntu for her.  It locks
up frequently.  Sometimes it locks up almost immediately.  Sometimes it
seems as if being idle makes it lock up too.  I tried Ubuntu instead and
it has the same problems.

The computer was running my Linux From Scratch build with GNOME and it
never locked up.  I did take it apart and clean it but that didn't help.

Disabling effects seems to help some.  I installed the ATI driver to see
if that would help and it does not.


The other problem is one I saw at the Installfest last week.  Ubuntu
will not connect to the wireless, but it does see the WAP.  It simply
refuses to connect.  It has the same drivers I used for LFS.
