Hi, I, too, am disappointed that this bug has not been fixed in over 1.5 years. I encountered it in mid-April of 2007, right after upgrading to Ubuntu 7.04. I also have the offending Rage 128, as I'm sure many hundreds do. This bug was not present prior to the 7.04 upgrade, so I would think it

Hi, Thanks for the info you sent. But as it doesn't actually correct whatever is wrong with the Molecule screensaver module, I would not call it a fix, but only a workaround. My own fix is to make darn sure I never select that module from the list. Apparently the problem was not widespread, but

dondad, I don't mean to be argumentative, but the Molecule freeze appears to be more thorough. The keyboard and mouse do not work. At all. The only thing that works is a hard-reset with the power key, or unplugging the PC. Molecule did not freeze up my Mac, but it took MANY minutes before a

Evidently this bug is a duplicate of Bug #106060, as all the symptoms are the same, and the hardware software are the same. Anyone looking for more information should be able to find it in that bug report. It showed up in updates distributed 04-10-2007. I don't know about everyone's workload,

Scanning the list of Gnome Screensaver bugs, I discovered that Bug #117482 is apparently a duplicate of this bug. The users commenting on it are reporting exactly the same symptoms as this bug exhibits. They are also using the ATI Rage 128 video card. So it's the same problem, with the same

Feisty! I just spent 13 hours installing the upgrade to 7.04, hoping it would fix the Gnome-screensaver bug (106060). It didn't. My PC still froze as soon as I opened the Screensaver window, since Molecule was still selected. Is there a way to edit or trash the Gnome-screensaver-preferences

Hello, I don't know whether you have anything to do with maintaining Ubuntu, but I got copied on your note, so I'm sending you information. This bug (106060) showed up with the updates that were installed on or about 4/13/07. At the same time, several of the other screensaver modules stopped

Oops! My G3 has three operating systems installed: OS 9, OS 10.2.8, and Ubuntu 6.10. While it is CURRENTLY running OS X, it was obviously (I hope) running Ubuntu at the time of the Screensaver tests I ran. Sorry if this caused any confusion. Jerry -- Original message

I can definitely confirm this bug. It freezes two different PCs, both running Ubuntu 6.10, i386 version. It also stalls in the Macintosh version, but does not freeze the system. It never produces a screensaver, but was responsive to mouse clicks and keyboard selections. Both PCs had to be hard
