When using a fullscreen exported linux game, the game froze. The rest of the os was working - i was still getting message popups from pidgin - but my keyboard was locked and i could not escape the frozen game.

Had to hold in the power button to turn off the machine.

Windows exe of the game works fine.

Ubuntu 10.10 (latest release).

The linux kernel could possibly be currupt. Try using these terminal commands

first, fix any dpkg errors.

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --configure -a


Then do:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update


Then go to the update manager make sure everything is fixed. Then try this:

Now, try and fix your kernel. You will most likely have to write this down and do it without xserver running. To stop xserver, do this

Code: Select all

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop


And same thing but replace "stop" with start after your done. After you type the code to stop the X server, press CTRL - ALT - and F1 to go to the first main terminal. Then do everything to fix the kernel as possible. I found only 1 website that could be of help with that.


Try an attempt within Xserver (In other words the graphical interface)
Go to System > Administration > Synaptics Package Manager
Then type "backports" on the quick search box. Click on the checkbox next to linux-backports-modules-intrepid and choose "Mark for installation".
Then press "Apply" on the toolbar.

Siruso,

You can also try to upgrade your Kernel.
The default kernel installed on Ubuntu 9.04 is the 2.6.28-11 version
The solution was to install the latest version of Kernel released for 9.04 but it seems it is not yet available on the repositories (Version 2.6.29-3)

Download these packages thru the terminal:-

# wget -c http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa...62903_i386.deb

# wget -c http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa...062903_all.deb

# wget -c http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa...62903_i386.deb

Then install the downloaded packages using dpkg:

# sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-2.6.29-02062903-generic_2.6.29-02062903_i386.deb linux-headers-2.6.29-02062903_2.6.29-02062903_all.deb linux-image-2.6.29-02062903-generic_2.6.29-02062903_i386.deb

After installation restart the system by choosing new kernel.
Hope this works.

Hope this helps D :3
