I have had trouble getting several versions of Linux stable on my machine over the last few months.
I do not think the issue is with the machine. Windows ran fine on it for a long time.
The current issue is that whenever I lock the screen then come back after a long time I find it frozen.
Using ctrl-alt function keys does not work.
watchdog was running on my latest Linux install. It did catch a softlockup. It did catch something with the networking. Most likely watchdog was configured to halt the system. I then disabled watchdog by putting the following entry in sysctl.conf:
After reboot, I did notice that there were watchdog processes still running:
Everything was running fine for a few days. Today the system froze. There are tons of lines in journalctl and the kern.log like this just before I forcibly rebooted.
I am on a home network but there are several WIFI networks running. My parents have a home office. The network guy setup a reasonably sophisticated setup. The 192.x IP is my machines gateway. I have no idea what 224.0..0.1 is. I assume something on the network is trying to reach a device through my wireless adapter. Maybe a ping?
I just have the default rules in ufw enabled: Deny ALL incoming Allow ALL outgoing.
If I turn UFW off, disable it, my system has not frozen yet.
Turning off logging does not work. I am not surprised. Logging would just eat up disk space not freeze the kernel.
I think the problem is that either watchdog was not disabled or UFW needs to be configured properly. I disabled UFW last night yet it still seems to be running this morning. The system locked up. The last lines in kern.log are a little different though. The source and destination IP's are different. How can I stop UFW from running?
Any advice on this issue would be appreciated.

Hi,
I have enabled my UBUNTU 9.10 ufw. By default does it let anything through?
I would think it allows all outbound originating requests through and allows for their return but it does not allow any inbound requests. Is this how it works?
