I've found a workaround. I did a lot of searching, looking for similar problems and then tried about 15 different things, 2 worked.
If you use the kernel flag "nolapic_timer", the problem goes away. A proper solution still needs to be found though. The kernel flag "nohz=off" also works, but it doesn't seem to play nicely with my wireless networking. To do this in the long term: (Do all of these steps as root) Open: /etc/default/grup Change: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" To: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nolapic_timer" Run: update-grub -- System freezes unless mouse/keyboard constantly used https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/643822 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
