believe it .just happened within the last hour on ubuntu.Some days ago i installed Crossover Office and installed Office 2000 successfully.I also installed IE6.I pulled up kafeinne and the playback was garbish.So i reset.Kafeine worked fine.
Now today i was going to install vmware.Since my serials was in a keygen i used crossover to run the keygen. Yes it did run the keygen, copy & paste my serial in a text file then BAM...Ubuntu froze. I tried ctrl +alt+backspace but my mouse didn't move. I thought this was temporary so i left it alone for some time to see if it recover.Not even 3 mins i got a blue screen saying some Binary file failed to execute (had to be the keygen) and there was more bin files failing. i didn't catch em all so i reboot and i got Grub error 17 !!!....

I never believe blue screen existed in linux now i do....Also how do i recover from error 17 ?
 
The fact that you have windows programs installed on an operating system that isn't supported by them may explain it. Secondly you where using ubuntu linux not just "linux".

And come on, it's free you've got to expect the ocasionall mess up.
 
Linux isn't magic, just be glad it's as reliable as it is. Any software can be messed up, and I'm actually surprised that there haven't been more cases of linux distros failing.
 
Quoting Jony boy..YEAH i do agree with u when u say "i were using ubuntu linux not linux"...yeah but probably i'd go and do that on PCLOS or Fedora and i guarantee u it will crash....i dunno im just reporting something to you guys..
 
I don't see what the HUGE fuss about ubuntu really is. Tried it, done it, have a virtual machine of kubuntu on my macbook pro and in all honesty to me it is just another distro of linux. I think its okay for a end user type install of linux but i would never implement ubuntu at work. I use suse at work for many reasons.

Its good, but its not the greatest

also if you are running any windows apps via wine, there are windows APIs installed on your box, and a virtual registry. So, any error message you would get windows you could get in linux running windows apps.
