Bug Description
I'm running Ubuntu 8.04.1 Kernel 2.6.24-19-Generic I have a KT400 Mobo with Broadcom wireless, Nvidia 6200 graphics. I have to hard boot the PC about 15-20 times before I can get logged in. Once in I have less than 30 minutes to do anything before the next lock-up. I have tried to use recovery mode but that Locks up aswell. The mouse stops working....HDD lights off....caps and numlock lights on keyboard do nothing. Sometimes I get the start up screen sometimes not. Sometimes when I get the start up screen the cursor isn't blinking...and I can't type anything. Sometimes I can't get 1/4 of the way through the loading bar. Sometimes I get a message about the login screen crashing and the system will try another. Sometimes it locks up at the "Starting up..." other times it gets to "Loading, please wait..."
I have tried using a GeForce3 Ti200 card rather than the 6200. I have tried using a Atheros wireless card rather than the broadcom card. Nothing works. I really don't want to go back to windoze. I enjoy ubuntu on my laptop. But my PC has to atleast start up.
Now I'm no superuser with linux but I can follow directions and can copy code easily enough. Tell me what you need and I will do everything I can to help resolve this issue. I checked the /var/crash folder but it is empty am i missing something?
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description does not yet have enough information.
Please include the following additional information, if you have not already done so (pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the Ubuntu Kernel Team:
1. Please include the output of the command "uname -a" in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture.
2. Please run the command "dmesg > dmesg.log" after a fresh boot and attach the resulting file "dmesg.log" to this bug report.
3. Please run the command "sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log" and attach the resulting file "lspci-vvnn.log" to this bug report.
For your reference, the full description of procedures for kernel-related bug reports is available at [WWW] https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/KernelTeamB ugPolicies Thanks in advance!
