I have an Intel Sandybridge chip, and suffer the same problem on two laptops. The screens on both laptops just freeze mid application, then slowly unfreeze. If music is playing, it stutters as the screen freezes.
Ram usage post freeze is about 600mb for systems settings alone. Killing the process in System manager following freeze fixes issue, and the laptop then performs fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1239010 Title: gnome-settings activation freezes computer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1239010/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
