Bug#509441: computer locks up during down-load
Hi
Thank you very much for your e-mail.
It is reproducible on this computer, but only when dialled into that
particular dial-up line.
I guess that that dial-up line is faster than the others.
I have tried it again to see whether <CTRL><ALT><F1> does anything.
If I press <Ctrl><Alt><F1> during download before the computer hangs, and do
not the press <Ctrl><Alt>F7> till the download is complete, then the computer
does not hang, even after I press <Ctrl><Alt>F7>, (unless I do another
download).
However, if the computer hangs first, then <Ctrl><Alt><F1> does nothing.
If I do not press <Ctrl><Alt><F1> then the delay between start of download and
computer hang varied, it is not reproducible.
I was using it as user jwl whose groups are:
jwl cdrom floppy dip users jwl_desk.
This list does not include audio ,
this might be relevant.
In order to get reproducible results I have configured Iceweasel to not use
(squid) proxy.
(I also tried using squid, the computer does not hang when retrieving a
previously cached copy of a webpage.)
Today, after the computer hung, I switched it off, then switched it on again.
Then I looked at the syslog, it seemed to suggest that there was something
wrong in the mtrr part of the kernel.
I attach a copy of the tail of /var/log/syslog as it was just after switch on.
I hope that this is usefull.
Best regards
Richard Betham
