Ubuntu Nightly will not connect with Ubuntu 11.10 kernel 3.0.0-17-generic but firefox 11.0 is still working in the same kernel version (the source of the problem since 3.0.0-16 gave no problems)
Ubuntu Nightly will not connect (hangs and does not stop withouyt a pkill or root kill) with Ubuntu 11.10 and the recent kernel 3.0.0-17-generic
Firefox 11.0 is still working in the same kernel version and I am using it now. Perhaps the source of the problem is the Ubuntu kernel since kernel 3.0.0-16 gave no problems

Hi,
Please also check if this happens in a new profile. If the new profile is okay, you can later copy the needed personal data from the old profile. Firefox stores your personal data and settings in another location (profile folder) separate from its files/folder. A new profile would have the default Firefox settings (Tools (Alt + T) > Options, and about:config ), and usually would also be empty of any Extensions and themes (Appearance) in Tools > Add-ons) and their settings. Also, a new profile would have no previous stored website data/settings etc., (Tools > Clear Recent History).
You may also be able to find helpful info here.

As per the firefox suggestion, I killed all the add-ons: VLC, Divx, Gnome Shell Integration, IcedTea, QuickTime, Shockwave Flash and Widnows Media Player 10 and the problem disappeared.
I turned Shockwave Flash back on and that was not the problem. So it looks like there is a pointer getting out of bounds since I could not execute a Shut Down,.. or in a terminal even sudo init 3 and int 6 would do nothing. Pulling the power supply cable was necessary, for a guranteed kill, ...with vengence.
This messed up grub, but I have Ubuntu 11.04 LTS on second drive, so booting kernel 3.6.38-13 generic and sudo upgrade-grub fixed the grub for both.
I will try to turn on each of these add-ons individually to see which one was the culprit when I have enough time. W9DKI
