Version: unknown (using 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2), Kubuntu packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.28-11-generic Occasionally, the power to one of my IDE disks (not system one, but one I use to store videos, etc.) is lost then coming back on within 1 second. I have established this due to the fact that during this process the disk rotation sound pitch lowers and returns immediately and the head is making noises identical to those when the machine is booting up. This crashes KDE and makes it unresponsive, if during that time I'm using the hard drive, e.g. watching a movie. I've waited up to 15 minutes for it to respond. Couldn't this be handled a bit more gracefully instead of taking down the entire system, such as for instance showing you a dialog (like in the other OS) or otherwise make this process more transparent as in losing a USB disk connection in the same OS? Regards Nik
The only solution to this thus far is to do a hard reset.
What exactly crashes? Do you have a backtrace of the crash? Or do you have only a freeze of the system? What does it happens with CTRL+ALT+F1?
