I can reproduce fairly regularly.

I have disabled upnp sharing for now and haven't had a crash yet. If it happens again I will try joethefox's suggestion and report back, thanks.

EDIT: Well, that was quick - another freeze.

When I try sudo do-release-upgrade -d, I get this message:

cannot find terminfo entry for 'putty'

Any suggestions?

routehero: afaik an application can't cause this kind of crash by itself. There has been may reports regarding crashes with nvidia drivers > 275 (playing video or not). 295.20 makes a lot of trouble because system calls which are used to work over years started to hang. NVdia installes their own functions into threading libs which can cause even not graphics related parts to fail.
Downgrading to 275 might also be an option.

Is there an easy way of doing this via terminal? I've looked around but can't find anything concrete.

**joethefox** · 2012-03-17, 20:48

Doing a release upgrade sometimes it could be an heavy task, expecially when there are a lot of .deb installed via custom ppa. Plus 12.04 is still in beta stage so this behavior could be broken in some circumstances.

I also have the problems stated above. Is upgrading the entire OS Kernel really the only solution to this? (aka, breaking everything else and having to fix it again)

**joethefox** · 2012-03-19, 09:40

I'm sure of one thing: it's not a kernel problem. With 12.04 no issues with kernel version 2.6.35, 3.0.0 or 3.2.0.
I don't know if it's the only solution to this: my spider-sense blames xorg.

The upgrade to Precise (12.04) seems to have fixed all the problems for me as well.

**joethefox** · 2012-03-19, 18:03

^^^ I'm happy to read this.

If you want to avoid the beta, wait until 2012-04-26, that's the official release date of Precise 12.04 LTS.

OK, I've tried it with Xubuntu 12.04 (32bit), but I can't install XBMC because it needs the lib "libcdio10" and I >only< have "libcdio13". how did you guys managed to install it with 12.04?

EDIT: oops XBMC-source was for 11.10 Tongue

**Pyromaniac** · 2012-03-22, 16:35

OK, no crashes for the last 2 Days. With Ubuntu 11.10 there would be more than 5 crashes a day, especially after I've stressed my system by jumping over every Live-TV/addon/clip/movie I've found.

thanks JoeTheFox Big Grin

^^^ You are welcome. Happy to know that the bug is solved for you too.

Yesterday NVIDIA released a new version of their 295-driver, 295.33.

It's already in the X Updates PPA:

And I guess it will be in Precise soon too..
