Comment 35 for bug 348332

Aya makes a good point, and a great suggestion, thanks aya.

However, many of you reporting this but may not be familiar with getting/installing a mainline
kernel, so if you aren't then I would suggest you try the Ubuntu proposed kernel which is
2.6.28-12.43. That kernel cured the problem for some others reporting a similar bug.

To get the proposed kernel use synaptic and to go
Settings ->Repositories -> Updates, check proposed-jaunty, close
then from from Edit menu select Redo, New Repository should
appear in left window, Select New Repository, and in right window
select Image file, apply, and the new image and initrd will install
and you can alter your /boot/grub/menu.lst to boot the 12.43 kernel
and see if the problem subsides.

If you know how to add jaunty-proposed to your apt sources.list then
do so and you can use apt-get to install the 12.43 image file.

pleas continue to post your success stories or failures about this bug here in
the comments section
thx jt
