up occurs.

Ctrl-Alt-Backspace isn't the only key combination that may help.

Yo
During the last days I've focused my attention on the USB hotplug
malfunction (as of point 10.). I came to the conclusion that:
13. freezing of Gutsy on my computers, completely disappears if the USB
v2.0 controller is disabled through the BIOS setup, at the same time USB
hotplug works OK through

11. Tested older kernels taken from Kubuntu v7.04 repository and proved

You received this bug notification because
Point 3. of my precedent resumee has now been overridden. Freezing has been
observed in the following situations:
a. while working on KDE & Gnome
b. in a VT window under X
c. in a VT after boot without starting the Xserver (startx)
I could personally verify point c. case also, on a fresh Kubuntu
Looking at all the comments in various forums and bug#, the freeze fenomena:
1. doesn't seem to relate to CPU type, nor to SATA, Graphics card, MB, memory
q.ty, or other hardware connected cases.
2. seems to inflict the Xserver only, and blocking the entire PC, basic VT too,
not keyb and mouse on
