User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1b4) Gecko/20090427 Fedora/3.5-0.20.beta4.fc11 Firefox/3.5b4 machines crashes. all kinds of cool gibberish on the screen. totally unresponsive: mouse doesn't track, no ping, death grip (c-alt-backspace, c-alt-delete) doesn't work. Could be drv-intel, could be a kms problem. Hard to reproduce. I was just using firefox. I was in google maps at the time. In my experience, "flash" content will often crash firefox. I use flashblock. I use the Adobe flash plug : flash-plugin-10.0.22.87-release.i386 I had just visited http://www.havanarestaurant.net (warning : loud music on this site with no mute button). If it has something to do with the audio on the web page, it might be relevant that I don't run the pulseaudio server. Attached is Xorg.0.log and photo/movie of the gibberish. Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

It just happened again. I was just using firefox.
I turned kms off... I'll see if it still happens.
This happened with me, too. I used the "nomodeset" parameter at boot time, too. Without it, Plymouth was showing a dark screen instead of its theme images, and system was crashing and gibbering like the original poster said. Looks like it is working now.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
