"I seem to have the most convoluted version of this crashing bug thing. I'm
typing this from Firefox 3 (which has been running for over 2 hrs now,
amarok in background playing), Ran it for several hours yesterday
downloading youtube videos via LAN internet (no wireless; hardware switch
off). My laptop DOES crash randomly, has done so about 4 times today alone,
though it reduced after I set vm_swapiness to 0 and turned off plugins I
didn't need in Compiz. When it freezes, cursor moves fine eternally, other
processes continue in background (amarok even crossfades to next track) but
keyboard does not work and I have to hard reset. I read at launchpad that it
is probably an I/O or kerenl panic problem. Hope it is fixed soon."
