** Description changed: This bug was reported previously and relates to bug number 497179 with the following details: DETAILS: Hi, hope someone can help out. I have Ubuntu 9.10 upgraded from 9.04 and running dual boot parallel with XP Windows (which is not experiencing the same problem, so not a hardware fault). I start up and work for awhile and eventually the screen stops responding to the cursor, so I have to switch off power and reboot to continue. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this problem? The source package (as I understand it) is to do with this upgraded version. 1) the release is currently 9.10 2) the response to this command is 'W: Unable to locate package packagename'. I don't know what to check for in Synaptic?? INTERRUPTION!! - the screen keeps freezing as I attempt to complete this information so I will send now and add to it later if I can.

I can confirm this problem, I'm experiencing the same symptoms on a dell dimension 2350 with a pentium 4 2.0 MHz, same chipset, karmic, etc. Reinstalling does not fix the problem, but using the older (2.4) intel xorg driver significantly helped. My processor usage dropped from about 90% while watching movies to about 50% (which is still too much) after changing drivers, but I still can't watch hulu (very choppy). here's a link: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4 Also if your screen does freeze do this: 1) press control, alt, and f2 2) you'll come to a black screen that says your computer name and login (e.g. 'computer name' login:) i) login in with your user name and then enter your password 3) then when you've reached the command line enter: i) sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart ii) enter your password This should bring your screen back. 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03) Subsystem: Dell Device 0147 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16 Memory at e000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M] Memory at ee00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512K] Capabilities: access denied Kernel driver in use: i915 Kernel modules: i915 -- [i82845G/GL Brookdale-G] Screen freeze after while of working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/502055 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel 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

Thanks for all that. I am on standby at the moment to see if it freezes again as it has not for the past week - hoping it has magically corrected itself! but great to know how I can get to the command post.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 502055] Re: [i82845G/GL Brookdale-G] Screen freeze after while of working
Terry, Point 1 about backing up all your data and settings to external drive is excellent advice otherwise you will lose all the data on the Ubuntu side unless you follow a fairly simple procedure that no-one seems to know about except me i am late for work. So backup your entire /home to external drive or onto another machine to backup everything. Please ask this as a new question. It might seem like a stupid question or obvious but i think there are a lot of people that would appreciate finding a clear question about this in the Solved Answers Database in the future. It was something i looked for when i first started. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+addquestion The obvious guide is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot I am sure i once found an excellent guide elsewhere but cant find the bookmark to it now :( Good luck and regards from Tom :) -- [i82845G/GL Brookdale-G] Screen freeze after while of working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/502055 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel 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
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 502055] Re: [i82845G/GL Brookdale-G] Screen freeze after while of working
Thanks for your response Bryce, I am thinking of re-installing 9.10 as the last resort unless you suggest otherwise? But if you think that might be the best action to take at this point could you provide any links that may assist me in the process? I found the following but would be good to have more detail: http://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/reinstallation Sometimes, in the beginning of your Linux adventure, you'll want to reinstall Ubuntu. Because you've inadvertently spoiled the system beyond repair (it happens to us all!). There are several ways to reinstall, but this is probably the easiest way to do it: 1. Backup your personal documents, music, pictures et cetera, on an external storage medium. Like a CD, a DVD, an external hard drive or a USB memory stick. 2. In Ubuntu 9.10, you can use the Desktop CD: boot your computer from the Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop CD and start GParted: System - Administration - GParted. Then use this disk partitioner, to completely destroy the Ubuntu partitions. Or you can use the free GParted LiveCD for that (Ubuntu 8.04). Don't format the Ubuntu partitions, just destroy them. The result will be unallocated free space. 3. Reboot your computer. Don't remove the Ubuntu CD. 4. Boot again from the Ubuntu CD and choose again Install Ubuntu. During it's course, the installation application will automatically suggest to install Ubuntu on the unallocated free space on the hard drive. Which is what you want. After you've agreed to it's proposal, the installer takes automatically care of the rest! -- [i82845G/GL Brookdale-G] Screen freeze after while of working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/502055 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel 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
