Thanks for your note.

Haqking, as you guessed, the problem has to do with my system freezing with any version beyond 9.04. (I thought 10.04 was working, but it ended up...

Hi Oldtimer7777:
I've tried twice to send you a private message but it never shows up on my out box as having been sent.. Have you received either of them? If not, can you send me another e-mail...

I have a problem with Ubuntu which I've experienced for several months. It is a fairly specific problem but I can't solve it using Ubuntu forums or documentations. (I'm simply not well versed enough...

Thanks for your note. I'm sorry that it has taken me this long to respond. Honestly, I had given up on this problem (and this thread....) I haven't checked it for a while.
I'll give you...

Thanks for your note. Can you guide me a bit as to what, specifically, I should look for in the logs -via log file?
Thanks.

Well....I downloaded and installed on my hard drive Natty/11.04. I'm afraid that I continue to have the same problem. It looked like it was going to be a great OS, then it crashed!

Ideas anyone?

Thanks 2F4U and Coffecat for your suggestions.

To clarify, I am currently running 9.04. It was when I went to 9.10 and above that I had problems.

The memtest was fine. I'm not sure if my...

I've been using Jaunty for a couple of years. It has worked flawlessly for me. Whenever I have tried to upgrade to a newer version of Ubuntu, my system randomly freezes. It cannot be restored without...

Thanks for your note.

I feel like I have plenty of memory to run 10.04 but, as I mentioned, it freezes on me. (As have all versions of Ubuntu since 9.10) Could the problem be my...

I've used Jaunty since it came out have been quite happy with it. However, it is no longer supported and I can't access updates. When 9.10 came along, I tried to install it but found my system would...

I'll give it a try.
Thanks.

Raja:

Thanks for your note. I will try the suggested solutions as a last resort.

Is anyone aware of any other solutions that don't require the use of the power button? I was hoping there was a...

Thanks for your note.
I'm afraid that I'm not entirely sure what the link means. Does the user have to push the power button to resume the use of their mouse?
Thanks.

Has anyone found a solution to the problem that many of us are having with 10.04? The mouse, and keyboard, freezes at random times? When I search the discussion boards for a solution to this problem,...

By the way, I have not yet tried 10.10. If I try it will it install the new kernal by default?

Currently, I use Jaunty which is no longer supported. I have tried to work with Karmic and Lucid but had frequent computer freezes. I have read that this is a common problem and haven't found a...

Thanks for your note.

I didn't look into 9.10 because I assumed that Lucid was supposed to be even better (and it was an LTS).

Do you know if they are having problems with 10.10?
...

I have been using Jaunty for quite a while and am pretty happy with it. However, it is no longer supported and I'm interested in using Lucid.

Recently I had to replace my hard drive. I put Lucid...

After using the diagnostic software, it became obvious that it was a problem with the hard drive. Now, in hindsight, I recall a few times when the hard drive was making noises. (It was making a...

P4man:
Thanks very much for your suggestion. I've downloaded a copy of SeaTools and will try it out when I get home from work this evening. I'll let you know how it goes.
You've been very helpful....

P4man:

Thanks for your note. Per your suggestion, I went back into the Disk Utility. Apparently, my hard drive is not SMART compatible.
....I think I'll be buying a new hard drive... :(

P4man:

I was able to get to the system before going off to work. As you suggested, I inserted a Live CD of Lucid. I used the disk utility and clicked the "Check File System" for the hard drive....

P4man:

Thanks for your posting. When I get back from work this evening, I will boot from a Lucid CD and test the hard drive. If the drive is the problem, as you suggest, it may account for other...
