Bug Description
New bug raised at the request of Jeremy Foshee, to provide separate information about 577671.
Downloaded 10.04 to CD. Will not run as live CD, as keyboard and mouse nearly always freeze as soon as logon screen is displayed, whereas old CD for 8.04 LTS works normally.
Occasionally keyboard input is possible at logon, but it promptly acts as if a key is stuck down, for instance typing the alphabet in the password box would go
abccccccccccccc
at which point keyboard and mouse freeze.
Even more rarely it is possible to logon, but the "stuck key" and then freeze happens as soon as the keyboard is used. All failures happen so soon that it is not possible to do any useful work. Slowing keyboard repeat delay and rate to minimum does not help.
Managed to install, dual boot with WinXP, by using noapic parameter at boot time. However first boot resulted in a freeze as I had not added noapic. Tried again with noapic, fine, and proceeded to download updates etc, system runs stable.
Booting in recovery mode and selecting low graphics option also results in stable system.
Mobo is Asus P4S800 with 2.4GHz processor, 512Mb memory, Nvidia Geforce 256 AGP 4X graphics (rather old), Liteon GC/N150AT/ATA lcd panel display.
Tried changing PS2 mouse and keyboard for USB but made no difference, nor did a different brand of display.
Have run ubuntu-bug -p linux as requested. Will submit this then reboot without noapic, to provoke a freeze, as it has been a few days since I did that.
After the expected freeze, will reboot without noapic and do an apport if that turns out to be the right thing to do - apologies for any incorrect answers in the quiz, but am just a beginner at this.
Tell me if there is anything else you need me to do.
