[Bug 1063046] Re: The whole system hanged and stop responding. Had to reboot and lost unsaved data
Still observe this from time to time. Importance shouldn't be difficult to decide (critical). I strongly dubt this is a graphic driver issue, though of course it is possible. It doesn't look like it hangs the system but rather like all the UIs stop responding. The cursor still shows and changes shape when you roll over things. If you click on the top of the currently maximised window and drag it as if to unmaximize it, you can even see the cursor take the shape of a hand as it normally does when you drag something - only that it doesn't work This is ALWAYS triggered by a mouse click, and I'm almost sure I've always seen this with the foreground window maximised. btw, MAYBE this could have a workaround if it wasn't for bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1016457 (the importance of that bug is wrong) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1063046 Title: The whole system hanged and stop responding.

Nvidia 304.64 is now stable and certified: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-304.64-driver.html I'm assigning this bug to the nvidia driver. It's not possible for user- space code like Unity to hand the system. Only something in the kernel like the graphics driver can do that. ** Package changed: unity (Ubuntu) = nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1063046 Title: The whole system hanged and stop responding.

[Bug 1063046] Re: The whole system hanged and stop responding. Had to reboot and lost unsaved data
Version 304 says: WARNING: This is an unstable beta driver. This package is intended for testers and early adopters, and not recommended for production hardware. Are you seriously suggesting I should use that? Given how unstable the current stable version is, I don't dare imaginge how a version that is explicitely declared unstable can be. Anyway how can this possibly be a graphics card driver issue by the way? Happened again just now. I'll do an apport collect, hope it provides some useful data. ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed ** Tags added: apport-collected ** Description changed: I had a few applications open, namely: - Google Chrome - a Nautilus window - Gedit - a terminal Suddenly, after clicking on Google Chrome to give it focus, the whole system hanged and I couldn't give focus to any other window, nor close, minimize or move the current focused window (which was Chrome), nor do anything. - CPU consumption wasn't high (I can tell because the fan cooler wasn't running fast) - the Google Chrome maximized window, to which I had just given focus, was on front - I could see and move the mouse cursor, but wherever I clicked or dragged, nothing happened at all - Moving the cursor to the top of the screen would NOT show the window's top buttons nor the application menu - moving the cursor to the left would not show up the Launcher - alt+tab wouldn't switch to another window - Ctrl+Super+D would not show the desktop - left or right-clicking anywhere did nothing I couldn't save the files that I was editing in Gedit, so I lost a huge lot of unsaved work. Additionally, because of bug #1016457, I couldn't even open a virtual terminal and try killing some process or anything. The KEYBOARD DID RESPOND, in some way, meaning that for example: - the Ctrl+Alt+M shortcut that I have associated to the touchpad-indicator program did work and would disable and reenable the touchpad - Ctrl+Alt+F1 did show a black screen (which is what usually happen, because of bug 1016457, instead of showing the virtual terminal) However neither Alt+TAB nor Ctrl+Super+D (show Desktop) worked.

Please make sure you have nvidia driver 304.43 installed on your system, it should solve the issue for you.

Thank you for reporting this bug. matteo please do not confirm your own bug report. Some one else other than the original reported must confirm it. Anyways, I have this problem on my system as well for the past week. Cannot figure out which package is responsible for this. Please let me know how I can gather more information to help the developers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1063046 Title: The whole system hanged and stop responding.

I confirm my own bug reports only when the bug is a crash or a whole- system-stops-responding kind of bug, because for such bugs there's no point in waiting for it to happen to more than one person to start investigating it. I assumed apport would automatically upload all the relevant logs, which would allow the issue to be investigated, but that doesn't seem to be the case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1063046 Title: The whole system hanged and stop responding.
