Good, I've written to Ubuntu's technical board (I hope the distribution list gets monitored).
This is my mail: Hey there, First time I write to this list... Thanks for co-creating Ubuntu. Have been using it since 9.10 as my main OS. All swell and stable until upgrading to 12.04 LTS. The system got unstable, completely freezing with only a hard reset working to boot it back up. This happens within 10 minutes of usage, without specific scenario's... unfortunately. 12.10 does not solve the problem... I'm writing because of bug #993187 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993187) It's been active since 02/05/2012 and has been put on "Won't Fix" for the last few months. Its heat is at 1838 and rising - making it the hottest bug around if I queried the db well. Can one of you please look into it - I think the best place to start is from the bottom upwards? The bug comments at 600+ are not clean. There are lots of persons posting with a responsive system - not valid for this report. There are a lot who aren't though. I offered to clean these up, but I don't have a clue how. I suppose it is a permissions thing. Do look into it and at least comment on it. If I can be of any non-technical help, please advice Thanks in advance. Happy holidays. Joris PS: back on 11.10 now, which is rock-solid. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993187 Title: ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently.

No other TTYs can be started. Mouse doesn't move. Keyboard doesn't react. The only solution is hard reset. Seems to happen on a variety of configurations, including nVidia, ATI and Intel graphics. If you are still able to TTY or SSH into other sessions, move the mouse or use the keyboard, file another bug. Thx. Joris V. (brains). Update: 5/21/2012 Updating the kernel to 3.3.6 as suggested by Michael in #91, the system seems stable, no freezes yet in 5-6 hrs of using and watching videos for couple of hrs. Original description: I recently installed newly released ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit version on my desktop. And it is frequently freezing, for the first few hours it ran smoothly and when I started watching videos it started freezing randomly. I have to use hard restart every time. Initially it was only during videos but now even during normal browsing it is freezing. I am using on board graphics and do not have any graphics card installed. Can someone please help me here, I really love the new looks of 12.04 and it bugs me not being able to use :( Below is my hardware configuration: Processor: Intel CORE i3 processor (2nd generation) Board: Intel® Desktop Board DH67BL Ram: 4GB Graphics: On board HDD: 500 GB Please let me know if you need more information, or any specific logs I can capture (and how).
