Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
My system keeps freezing if I leave it alone for a long time, usually
more than thirty minutes, enough for the screensaver to kick in, and
many subsystems (desktopcouch-se, zeitgeist-datahub, ...) becomes zombie
processes, rendering the box unusable... I have found out it is not a
screensaver specific issue, since I can have anything in full screen
(like a banshee session, playing some music, or gedit with a text) and
force the screensaver to never load, that after a while (again, more
than thirty minutes), the box will freeze.
I cannot kill X with Ctrl+Alt+Bckspc (which I have set previously), but
I can still get to a shell via Ctrl+Alt+F2, then I can get log files,
kill gdm-binary, and startx (startx wont start Unity completely,
complaining I dont have enough hardware to run it, and get me to a
Ubuntu-Classic session)
At least I have managed to post this bug with apport.
This happens every single time I am AFK with anything but Unity
fullscreen
