[kubuntu] Severe stability issues with Karmic rendering laptop unusable

view story
linux-howto

– Ever since upgrading my Lenovo IdeaPad Y530 from Jaunty to Karmic, I have been plagued with severe stability issues, rendering my laptop essentially useless. With 9.10, my laptop has been plagued with sudden reboots, kernel panics, and complete system lock ups, none of which had been experienced before with Jaunty. Even worse, I've received an odd error message suggesting that the system is silently corrupting data that is accessed from my HD. While trying to extract a file from a bzipped tar archive, I received an error message of an unexpected end of file. When I rebooted into an old Jaunty live cd, I was able to extract the file without issue. These issues are being experienced on a clean install of Karmic. In fact, the install had to be attempted twice as the laptop had suddenly rebooted during the first attempt. I would like to try to troubleshoot this issue, but I had no idea where to start-- I think these issues might be related to disk activity, but have no way of confirming this. Has anyone else been experiencing similar issues? ()

I just upgraded my HP Compaq nc6220 from Jaunty to Karmic. Jaunty was sweet, no issues at all. Under Karmic, I have the Intel cpu hog bug plus restart just hangs the machine after dropping out of Xorg.I've seen a lot of gripes about the Intel Xorg bug but no solutions - can this be sorted or do I go back to Jaunty?

BTW long-time Linux user, Ubuntu since 6.04.

Friends I have lenovo G450 series laptop its brightness can be adjusted using Fn+up arrow and Fn+down arrow this shortcuts where working fine in jaunty but after installing karmic they stopped working,:sad:Please tell me is there any way to make it work in jaunty?

Hello all

I installed karmic koala beta a few months ago (erasing my jaunty version in the process but not my home partition!) and my printer continued to work flawlessly!(I suppose it took the jaunty settings and applied them to the new system, like my old modem details etc...).

Laptop freezing issues 31 weeks 5 days ago

I am having Laptop freezing issues. Whenever I try to use Firfox and vlc, chrome and vlc, firefox and chrome, or anything similar to that my computer freezes. I always have to kill one of the processes before I can use my laptop again. I am guessing this is a hardware issue because when I move the HD to my other laptop it works just fine without freezing.
