Exited to prompt, chose "probe",chose "1366x768" and froze up with a blinking cursor and no keyboard input leading to the dreaded hard poweroff.
No, only stock laptop monitor, 1366x768, intel.pemasu wrote:01micko. Did you have external monitor connected. I have had similar experiences with some graphics drivers when I have used HDMI connection to my LCD TV.
Closing laptop lid.pemasu wrote:Dean. Tell me how do you suspend. There are several ways to suspend Upup Precise.
Typing 'acpid' in terminal 'can't open /proc/acpi/event: Device or Resource busy'pemasu wrote:Dean. I tried 3 times. Suspend x 3 and wake up x 3.
What does acpid invoke. First it calls /etc/acpi/events/lid when you close the lid.
That script calls /etc/acpi/lid.sh which calls /etc/acpi/sleep.sh script.
Something during this process does not seem to be repeatable for you.
Dear Sir/Madam/Ms,
According to reports in today's newspapers, the foul weather that we are experiencing in the UK is coming directly from Finland.
I respectfully request that you stop this unfriendly behaviour immediately. It is playing havoc with my plans for the garden, not to mention the heating bills.
I shall expect an improvement very soon, and will not accept any excuses! Thank you.
Adding "nouveau.noaccel=1" to the kernel line also solves the freezing problem in Precise 3.8.3.1 with the troublesome Nvidia chip.James C wrote:Report for whatever it's worth. On both a dual-core and quad-core with Nvidia Gforce 7025/nforce 630a graphics Precise 3.8.3.1 successfully boots to a desktop but within about 30 seconds totally freezes with a totally distorted display with no keyboard input possible leading to a hard poweroff. Repeated several times on both machines.
No problem on older Nvidia or Intel boxes.

Ah... I was hoping that's what it was, and had, since my last post, already installed both dvdapps and w_scan from the ubuntu repos. I had tried w_scan -x (somethingorother) and was able to determine my dvb-t usb stick was functioning (since w_scan correctly used it to determine all the locally available channels) and I was looking into producing a channels.conf (hoping that would do the job). However, the rest of the family wanted to watch tv, and that usb stick is all we have here at the moment (working under its supplied windows OS software) so I've been unable to do further work on getting it to work under upup! I'll try your suggestions tomorrow and report back...pemasu wrote:mcewanw. You need channels.conf or some other text file like vlc.xspf which contains the information of the tv channel frequencies. I use w_scan:
w_scan -fc -c FI -M > /root/channels.conf.
