[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 669535] Re: desktop mysteriously freezes until keyboard or mouse input
I did more testing on my box. With the box in an idle state (~0% CPU load), I used a hitch-detection script (it prints a hitch error to stdout every time the system goes more than two seconds without scheduling the script) to try the following: After sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop, and logging in at the text console (ctrl-alt-F1), the script still reported hitches, so the issue would not seem to be X-related. Still on the text console, /etc/init.d stopping apache2, ntop, mysql, ntpd, had no effect, I still saw hitches. Switching into single-user mode (sudo telinit 1, choose without networking) had no effect, I still saw hitches. During a hitch, tapping the ctrl key was enough to immediately wake the system back up (causing the hitch to be reported by the script). After restarting gdm, I tried uninstalling Sun VirtualBox, but I still saw hitches. I found an old Ubuntu 9.10 CD and booted up from that. No hitches detected after 30 minutes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/669535 Title: desktop mysteriously freezes until keyboard or mouse input ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 669535] Re: desktop mysteriously freezes until keyboard or mouse input
Resetting the BIOS/CMOS (by selecting Load Optimized Defaults) appears to have fixed this issue. 5 hours so far with no hitches (freezes). I can't imagine why any BIOS setting would cause this issue with Ubuntu but I'm optimistic about the problem being fixed. IIRC this box is 16 months old. The only BIOS options I clearly remember tweaking were the boot order and some enable-virtualization setting. I'll continue testing for a few days and see if I can isolate a single setting that causes the issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/669535 Title: desktop mysteriously freezes until keyboard or mouse input ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 669535] Re: desktop mysteriously freezes until keyboard or mouse input
I attached four log files. I notice many rtkit-daemon error messages in syslog. The process 1962 mentioned in those error messages at the very bottom of syslog is a pulseaudio process. Also note, I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 today but I still see the issue. I believe the system is now using the proprietary 10.8 Catalyst driver included with Ubuntu. -- desktop mysteriously freezes until keyboard or mouse input https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/669535 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
