Bug Description
Hello from Poland :)
Problem:
My laptop, Dell Inspiron 8200, randomly freezes with caps & scroll lock LEDs blinking.
Symptoms:
Caps lock and scroll lock LED blink, no response from _any_ key or key combination (also those found @ https:/
Operating system & commonly used programs:
- Kubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 beta release up-to-date as 23.03.2008
- manually configured network, knetworkmanager in system tray
- kmix in system tray
- gkrellm with "i8k", "wireless" and "x86" plugins
- synaptic, firefox, konsole, claws-mail, ktorrent (I don't see any connection between lock-ups and used/launched programs)
- nvidia-glx installed and configured by launching "nvidia-xconfig" program, driver works fine.
Tell me, please, what kind of information can I provide to help to solve this problem - I'll try to do my best.

I also have exactly the same issue!
I outlined the issue I had here: ubuntuforums. org/showthread. php?p=4584283# post4584283 ubuntuforums. org/showthread. php?t=702557
http://
And also found people with similar issues here:
http://
I have a Dell XPS M1710
To copy and paste details from my post:
1) Only ever happens when my wireless is on. I have an Intel 4965AGN card.
2) It is more likely to happen if the computer sits idle, especially if there is no internet connectivity. If I leave something running like IM, it tends to happen less.
3) Sometimes it happens during non-idle periods, i.e. like just now when all I was doing was writing this post in firefox.
4) Once a freeze occurs, only a hard reboot will save it
5) I have found that if I reboot, and then allow ubuntu to reload, and then reboot again, it is less likely to occur.
6) It is very random, sometimes it can not happen for 2 days, then it will happen 5 time during the day.
7) This will sound very strange, but it seems more likely to occur in the evening.... I don't know why that is.
Next time I have a crash, I will include the syslog, and syslog.0 files if they will help.
