[Bug 590474] Re: Ubuntu crashes randomly while no application is running other than Seti at Home

[Keith Myers]

** Description changed:

  I made a previous bug report under the title of random crashes.  I am a
  new user so don't know what to do.  I can't determine what is relevant
  in the various logs.  I set APPORT=1 already.  I thought it would auto
  generate a report when the system crashes but apparently not.  I have
  had regular crashes since I installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on this computer.
  It normally runs my main OS, eComStation 1.05, a OS/2 variant. I crunch
  work units for Seti at Home.  The system runs 24/7 and 100% CPU utilization
  under the BOINC and SETI clients.  OS/2 stays up forever and never
  crashes.  Why can't Ubuntu do that?  If I am actively doing something in
  Ubuntu like browsing or reading email or updating applications or
  packages, all is fine.  If I step away from the computer to do other
  things and just let the Seti client run on the computer, then after a
  few hours when I come back, I see that the system has crashed with only
  the NUM LOCK and CAPS LOCK led's flashing.  I have tried to kill
  processes and use the ALT+SysRq R E I S U B keystrokes but they do
  nothing.  The only way to get the computer back is to use the computer
  reset button.
