linux-howto

http://www.linuxforums.org – Hello. I've been searching for a stable distro for my computer without any luck. I've tried Debian, Ubuntu, and Suse. My machine is a pc with 2GHz Processor and 30GB of hard drive. My graphics are Intel 82845G/GL (Brookdale) What begins to happen after a few hours is that the machine will randomly freeze up. By that I mean that everything that can be "clicked" on on the screen is unresponsive -- I can move my mouse around but clicking doesn't do anything. In addition, my keyboard is froze so nothing I type works. Also, there is no way to bring up another terminal (ALT-F2 does nothing) The only thing that unfreezes the computer and reboots it is Alt-SysRq-r-s-e-i-u-b. take care. (HowTos)

Hello. I have a Gateway PC with a 2GHZ processor and 1.25GB of RAM and a 30GB hard drive. My video driver is an onboard Intel driver 82845G/GL chipset.

I've tried Ubuntu and Debian, but have had issues with both. The culprit in both cases, I think, is the Intel video driver.

Hello.

I have a Gateway PC with a 2GHz processor, 1.25GB of RAM, and a 30 GB Harddrive. My video driver is an onboard Intel 82845G/GL (Brookdale). I am running a dual boot with Windows XP and Ubuntu/Debian.

I would like to try a dual boot with XP and Open Suse.

Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 64bit on an AMD 64 bit CPU machine. I've now had 3 separate occasions when my keyboard became unresponsive. The mouse continues to move the cursor around the screen but can't click on anything or rather clicking doesn't do anything.

Ctr-Alt-F1-F8 do nothing. Ctrl- Alt Backspace does nothing. Alt-PrtScr-K does nothing.

Only thing to do is press power button.

So, in my experience, processors are "catastrophic failure" devices; either they work, or they don't.

However, I seem to have a "bad" processor.

For well over a year, my system hard-freezes when trying to encode h.264 or MPEG-4 ASP (xvid) video, and also randomly from time-to-time, at least weekly.

As shown in this video, my computer has been crashing lately. Despite appearances to the contrary, it's unresponsive. It doesn't respond to keystrokes--including the Magic SysRq sequences, assuming I've converted them properly to my keyboard configuration. Sometimes it appears that the mouse will move, but I can't login via SSH.

This doesn't happen 100% of the time, but happens probably 50-75%.

The issue is whenever I right-click on an icon on my Unity panel, it causes the entire desktop to freeze. The right-click menu applet (you know where it says "unlock from launcher, etc.") stays on the screen and will not go away. I can still move the mouse around, but my keyboard becomes non-functional.

Linux freezing computer 3 years 22 weeks ago

Hello all. I'm relativly new to Linux, and don't know a whole buch about it, but in the other aspects of computers I'm pretty knowlegable. When my laptop hardrive crashed a few months ago I decided to try a version of Linux insted of XP again. While I was running Ubuntu 9.4, my system worked fine, but then I updated to 9.10 and my computer began to randomly freeze.

Nvidia GT 240 graphics card 2 years 37 weeks ago

I hope to build a new computer this Autumn or Winter, assuming of course that I will be able to arrange the convergence of those two rare in themselves commodities; sufficient funds and sufficient free time.

I plan to use an ASUS or Gigabyte main board, something like the M4A79XTD EVO AM3 with a quad core AMD processor of 3 gHz or so, either the Athlon II or the Phenom II, 4 gigs of memory, and a

Serious Problems with video 3 years 23 weeks ago

Hi Guys,

I have an old PC that I need to use to do work on. It has some decent specs (P4 with 1GB RAM). The thing is after a few minutes or a few hours after boot, the machine completely locks up. I have a feeling it has something to d with the video, but I'm not sure as I don't know where to go to check the logs.
