My problems with Feisty and it’s tendency to freeze on me, got to the point where I wasn’t prepared to sit on my butt any longer; I have to solve this.
Without re-installing (which may not work anyway)
Using the handy System Log(from the System -> Administration Menu), I found something disturbing in my kern.log
May 7 19:44:56 osiris kernel: [ 623.592000] BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0!
…
May 7 21:21:20 osiris kernel: [ 6414.444000] BUG: at drivers/pci/search.c:270 pci_get_subsys()
One for each of the freezes I had that night. There’s more, if I could find somewhere to host the log.
I would love to know what to do with this. I’ve started looking through Launchpad, for a similar issue. I’ve come across many bugs that mention ’soft lockups’, so I don’t know where my issue stands in relation to them.
Following another Feisty Freeze saga, has given me at least one common element to investigate; NVIDIA card/driver.
