Bug Description

I've Ubuntu 8.04 up-to-date and I've one or two problems each day.

Yesterday After opening this pdf

http://82.186.164.20/siap4futur/Pdf/annullamento.pdf

firefox hanged and then evolution crashed and then I try to reboot from the up tools bar, but it hanged too then I tried ALT+CTR+F1 to go to the first text console but the screen became white (is this a variant of the blue screen?) Blindly I managed to login as root and issue a reboot command.

Many thanks

Best regards

Thank you for trying to make Ubuntu better. I am unable to replicate the errors you experienced. The PDF opened for me just fine and I was able to scroll the whole document, then email it to myself using Evolution. Can you try to replicate the issue? Thanks.

I've tried also myself to replicate this bugs, but I couldn't. The things I've said are the last I've done before the system became unusable

I think that this may be related to some other component of gnome that frequently, one or twice EACH DAY!, causes the system to become instable up to the extreme that ALT+CTRL+F1 cause a white screen, it seems to me to have some bad version of windows.

I don't know how to replicate the problem, but I can surely say that I have one or two reboot each day, and so I'm thinking about going back to 7.10 with which I had no problem.

Many Thanks

Best regards
