James Ferguson, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and- netbooks/thinkpad-x-series-laptops/thinkpad-x230 an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (2.63). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?
If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-2.63 ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1366876 Title: Xorg freeze Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Desktop display freezes temporarily, for (approx) 20s or so, approx once a day, with mouse pointer still working. After that it comes back and resumes as normal, seemingly replaying mouse and keyboard events from the meantime. I think it's always happened when using Google Chrome (Stable - currently 37.0.2062.94, but I think other recent versions). The desktop is completely unresponsive This didn't seem to happen until a few weeks ago. I tend to pull updates fairly regularly. In syslog there is: kernel: [277415.130771] [drm] stuck on render ring I suspect this is a dupe since I see other related bugs, but you'd be better placed to decide that than I.
