Thanks Bryce! You've taught me to trust the community more than the experts. #91 Michael (starkpc) fixed one problem by recommending upgrading to a newer kernel to fix Ivy Bridge graphics lockups. Had I encountered this bug a week later than I did, I'd have run out of time and returned my brand new motherboard and CPU to the manufacturer and possibly given up on Ubuntu 12.04. Michael, you're my favorite community member right now!
To those who encounter lock ups where you can still move the mouse or access the terminal, or you're using graphics other than onboard Intel, stay strong! A kernel upgrade might not fix your issue, but at least you know that others share your troubles and a fix should surely be in the works! Since this bug report is an amalgam of different issues, some of which have been fixed, I encourage users to ignore the current status and read through all the posts. The "Won't Fix" status is patently false for those of us whose systems have been completely fixed by the advice of the commenters. Bryce, I hope your common sense returns and allows you to point users of modern hardware to easy fixes instead of insisting that their adoption of Ubuntu was a mistake. These bug reports are not just for developers. Please return this bug to the previous status to alert users that there are possible fixes to their problems. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993187 Title: ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently while watching videos (Fixed by 3.3.6 kernel) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/993187/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
