Bug Description

Binary package hint: kubuntu-live

While trying to reboot from the Kubuntu Dapper Flight 7 LiveCD, my system froze after the system ejected the cdrom. The system was unresponsive to keypresses, so I had to hold in the power button to shut off the system.

This is on a Sony Vaio VGN-S260 laptop. I have been able to start back in to the installed system, though I have not tested it beyond that.

How frozen was it? Did it react to numlock/capslock?

To be honest, I'm not sure how frozen it was. I don't think it was responding to Caps/Numlock. However, i just booted in to the livecd and then rebooted, and everything worked properly. I've checked the ISO and the CD, and it was a good burn of a good ISO.

If it helps at all, the system had partly frozen the same day in the livecd session. I had unplugged a USB mouse and X became unresponsive. I could move the mouse, but there was no response to clicks, and nothing highlighted as I moved over icons/buttons/etc. I was able to Ctrl-Alt-Fx to terminals, but if I typed in a command nothing would happen, and I couldn't Ctrl-C out of any of the commands, such as ps -ef to see what was going on.

On the bright side, i was able to install the system cleanly from the LiveCD.

Since it's not reproducible, even with the same hardware, I'll reject this. Please do reopen if you're able to reproduce.
