One "last" thing. When my machine hung up this morning, I did a CTRL- ALT-BACKSPACE (which made everything but the window background vanish) and then tried to get a console login with ALT-Fx. I was able to get a login prompt but not a password prompt. Finally I power-cycled the machine.
Once again, there are no error messages in /var/log/syslog covering that period of time: Apr 16 08:56:16 dabuntu -- MARK -- Apr 16 09:16:17 dabuntu -- MARK -- Apr 16 09:17:01 dabuntu /USR/SBIN/CRON[6958]: (root) CMD ( run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) Apr 16 09:36:17 dabuntu -- MARK -- Apr 16 09:56:17 dabuntu -- MARK -- Apr 16 10:02:01 dabuntu /USR/SBIN/CRON[8056]: (root) CMD (if [ -x /usr/sbin/pg_maintenance ]; then /usr/sbin/pg_maintenance --analyze >/dev/null; fi) Apr 16 10:16:17 dabuntu -- MARK -- Apr 16 10:17:01 dabuntu /USR/SBIN/CRON[8427]: (root) CMD ( run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) Apr 16 10:36:17 dabuntu -- MARK -- Apr 16 10:56:17 dabuntu -- MARK -- Apr 16 11:07:19 dabuntu syslogd 1.4.1#18ubuntu6: restart. In conclusion, I'm assuming this is a problem caused by the video subsystem, but I'm not sure. And I really don't know what to do to diagnose it any further. -- [Edgy] - hangs, windows become unresponsive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/98999 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
