Public bug reported: I installed Xubuntu Karmic BETA on the laptop. The installation went perfectly. The system is usable after installation, no problems. I can install new packages and do pretty much everything. Reboot after reboot and it works. BUT if I do a dist-upgrade and reboot the problems begin.
BETA works. Updating the system, this is what happens when I reboot: 1) System boots up normally, I get the new XSplash and all (very nice) 2) System is responsive, I can see system notifications about AC power every once in a while 3) IF I move the mouse over some icons, or hover on the menu or open a menu --> I get ~5 seconds to live --> total lockdown Only the mouse pointer still works.But anything other than that does not. I can't even do CTRL + ALT + Fx. The system doesn't simply respond. I did the installation couple of times. I tried to isolate the problem but I couldn't. Something uploaded after the BETA release causes this...
