no way... they even have standard messages now. just create a new report and all will be fine! yeah... Canonical seems to spread itself thin on various targeted markets, but are neglecting their core business at the moment. Haven't I heard that from another software company having gone the exact

@M. van Workum: "This is getting to a point which makes my computer unusable." I know the feeling. Got similar instability problems with Ubuntu ever since 12.04, rendering the computer unusable. 12.10 and 13.04 did not fix it. Tried to escalate within Canonical on a few occasions, but all they s

yea... got the same problem as well. Have reported on it many many times. Have even sent an email to Mr. Shuttleworth's assistant (over it - maybe indeed). Fact is, I have been more than happy with Ubuntu ever since my definite migration from windows to 9.10. Thanks to Canonical and its community -

@Kayvan: great write-up. Thanks. But the problem is broader than intel with on-board CPU. It happens on Intel-nVidia CPU as well, which is my set-up: a Core2Duo with an nVidia 8400M. I does not at all happen on Oneiric 11.10, which I went back to. It starts from 12.04 and continues into 12.10. It

Well, Jeremy. I do not blame you. There really is no interest from Canonical into fixing this bug. There is no guidance, no follow-up, no reaction. Yes, truth is that all different comments filed here seem to appear related, but are not necessarily so, making pinpointing the source of this bug dif
