[ubuntu-za] Problems since last round of "major" updates

[Wesley Werner]

Hi Robin.

That sure is a mind boggle. Lets look at what commonalities these machines
share?

- did all three machines do major updates? i.e. could a kernel bug affect
all three?
- do they have any common hardware makes/models? network cards? bluetooth?
- are they all networked together? are samba shares setup?
- any specific drivers or software you install on all 3 (apart from LO)?
- are they all 64-bit? Or do they vary?
- does any of this resemble your issue? -
