So having installed the much updated Ubuntu 14.04 I’ve run into an interesting bug. Using the graphical filer window to copy large amounts of data (by which I mean, the smallest amount I was copying when the bug appeared was around 20Gig – or the amount of data I generated doing Dead Bug Jumping (which I really hope to get back to at some point))…
It’ll be copying and copying and then *FZT* the machine reboots. No warning, no errors generated. Just suddenly reboots.
I’ve no idea why.
I’ve even less idea why because if I stick ‘cp -r ….’ on the command line it’ll happily do the job.
Other than that I’ve done a lot of data shuffling, and I’m thinking we’re most of the way towards an install. I just wish I knew what this rebooting nonsense was about.
