Bug Description

Hi,
sorry for my english.
I'am experiencing a strange bug on ubuntu since dapper and all other linux distributions.
When amule is installed my system experiences random freezes. amule doesn't have to be running for this to happen.
I checked all the the system logs, there is no entry. so no back trace is possible.
I'm working on this bug for about a year now and googled quite a lot but i haven't found any other bug report concerned with this bug.
I tried to compile amule myself but the same bug occurred.
Also i could exclude all other packages from creating this bug since all amule dependencies are still installed on my system.

Can somebody help?

Greetings

Don't know if the bug i'm experiencing is the same. The system freezes, hard lockup, (no log entries) almost randomly. The freezes happen more frequently when amule is open. I got this bug since i changed hardware

Motherboard: Asus M2R32-MVP
    Integrated ethernet card: Marvell 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Asus)
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+
Graphic card: GeForce 7600 GT

I can exclude the bug it related to hard disks, ram, and power supply.
The test i made transferring locally large file, or a lot of small files, didn't triggered the freeze.
The ram test (24 hours) didn't triggered the bug either.
I changed the power supply but the bug is still there.

I think the bug can be related to the ethernet card (skge kernel module) or to the graphic card.

@sedesc: Is the same bug? any hardware component is the same?

Note that no programs should cause system freeze, so I think that the bug is not in amule itself, but maybe the linux kernel, the X system or a defective hardware.

Hi,
i figured my bug hadn't anything to do with amule. it was my ram. i replaced it and everything is working great now.

thx for the effort.
