unbelievable... 264 comments and counting and this is set to "won't fix"?!
I changed from Ubuntu to Fedora 16 because of this with the latter running stable. All were pristine installs. This bug's thread is a "hodge podge" of different scenario's precisely because it happens IN a multitude of scenario's. Affected users can have the problem while watching video's, while working with GIMP, while browsing CPU / GPU intensive websites and so on. If anything, the bugs title and description should be updated instead of dismissing this. I can reproduce it 100% within 3 minutes by: Clean install on my MSI EX600 Either update or don't the nVidia drivers (doesn't make a difference) Open www.eurogamer.net (quite resource heavy that one) Open a digital foundry face-off article (just because it's a combination of flash, of images, video and a whole lot of comments) Scroll up and down the article. Crash within a minute! The crash is instant, no log files get updated afaik. The crash may be preceded by one or more screen "flashes" - as if the display is updating. This is milliseconds long, but clearly noticeable. One of the flashes eventually freezes the complete system, with a hard reset the only solution. Happens on nVidia, ATI, Intel etc. But clearly has somethign to do with the display, the LCD image updating. Quite where - I don't know. This bug is blocking for those involved. Critical for Canonical. As mentioned - I am getting used to Fedora now - one of many answers to this problem. Please update priority and status. Thanks! ** Summary changed: - ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently while watching videos (Fixed by 3.3.6 kernel) + ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently. -- 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.
