476 users and still no attention from the developers. 8 MONTHS after the release of Ubuntu 12.04 and still having whole system freezes on a daily basis. In two fully different computers, with the i386 and amd64 versions of Ubuntu 12.04.
Users that turn their computers off after a several hours session will almost never notice the freezes. It is us users who want to leave our computers running for more than one day, who are suffering this problem. The average running time before a whole system freeze is about 10 hours, though sometimes it may happen in much shorter/longer time. Please somebody explain me that, or I will start elaborating conspirational theories, because it really FEELS as there is a hidden timer in the kernel, with an random average pre-set running time around ten hours. Is this part of some fight against P2P piracy? My teenage eMule times are far beyond, and I don't much know about how the corresponding programs work today, but I badly need to run numerical simulations at home, and some of them take about 3 days. Most times they are ruined by these freezes. I already have changed the distro to an older Fedora in one of the computers, so that my simulations run fine there. But my laptop still has (K)ubuntu 12.04. I am still waiting, hoping and apt-get updating, for months now. But I am getting tired. I may give up soon and say goodbye to a long, personal tradition of confidence on Ubuntu. I am getting sick of waking up in the morning, going to the computer and seeing that it has frozen again during the night. -- 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).
