@Martin: Apologies, I fat fingered it, and found no way to correct my mistake, great first contribution to Ubuntu eh?
@Covi: More people with this provlem are running Intel CPU with on-board GPU and have the same issue, nvidia should be let off the hook in this instance. @all: Commenting on this bug for a machine which is still in someway responsive, is just filling it with unrelated information. This is a HARD LOCK problem, resulting in a machine which is dead in the water, the lights are on, but nobody is home. In order to provide some constructive input: I have been experiencing this exact bug (HARD LOCK, loss of networking, absolutely no input, etc... ) after reinstalling afresh from a stable 11.10 Oneiric on 2.6 kernel, to 12.04 Precise with a 3.2 kernel. In an attempt to remedy the problem, I have tried installing the linux- image-generic-lts-quantal package to pull in a 3.5 kernel, NO FIX (possibly even more frequent). Having read many many reports and forum posts through several different distributions on various different hardware platforms, it seems it is not entirely limited to those which are Ubuntu derived. There seems to be a relatively common theme of Intel CPU's with onboard GPU, specificially the i3 and i5 processors which make use of the i915 driver. Which I happen to have Oops logs in syslog for once in a while (most likely another relatively unrelated bug in the i915 driver). So again in a vain attempt to resolve the issue, I made use of XORG-EDGERS PPA to obtain the latest daily builds of this driver and other xorg components, NO FIX. Another common theme among these reports, seems to be intensive GPU use for video playback, more often than not via XBMC. This is the primary use of MY box, and while not making use of XBMC on the machine, it has resulted in a stable up time of 3+ days. I am convinced this is kernel / driver module related specifically since 2.6 > 3.2, so those running Mint who think its resolved confuse me. -- 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.
