** Description changed: - My laptop I have loaded with 13.10 and right off the bat I noticed that - sometimes out of the blue the mouse would start skipping, the system - would become unresponsive, and then completely lock up, only a power off - would restore it. The next time I caught it and closed some apps right - away and the system stayed alive, but following me opening more the - behavior was reproduced. I started watching top while this happened and - I see kswapd0 is active and my physical memory (only 2GB) is low prior - to the system grinding to a halt. I'm operating an a sata3 ssd for disk - and I have 2GB of swap space which was hardly used... bandwidth is - lightning as you would expect so it's not like I have a slow swap space - that I'm just waiting for (besides, it doesn't seem to ever wake up). + Sometimes the mouse on my 13.10 laptop starts skipping, the system would + become unresponsive, then completely lock up, and only a power off would + restore it. - Bug: - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/721896 - - ... seems to have a number of users toward the end complaining of the - same symptoms and they were directed to file something here, however I - didn't see any responses back indicating that it had been done, and as - my system is fully up to date I have to assume this issue remains. - - Thanks, - - Zach + Another time this started happening, I closed some apps right away and + the system stayed alive.
