About every 20 to 60 minutes my entire system will crash. The mouse pointer will still work, but everything else does not. No response from the keyboard and no response from clicking on anything. The only thing I can do is do a hard reset of the computer; pressing and holding the power key until the system shuts off.
This is a fairly new install of Jaunty and I installed it from the final only a couple days ago. I never had this problem when using the Alpha or Beta of Jaunty earlier. It also seems that my wife does not have any problems on her laptop. My laptop, the one not working is a Inspiron 1525 and my Wife's is an older Inspiron, 1501 I think.
I think it may have something to do with my video card as it is not well supported in Linux. It is an Intel GM965. Celestia and Google Earth basically work, but with a lot of graphical glitches and the opengl section always overlaps everything else. It may also be the desktop effects as I added a couple extra. I am going to try and shut off the desktop effects to see if that works.
I'm using Kubuntu 9.04(Jaunty) on a Dell Inspiron 1525. |
