Problem still persists in Gutsy 7.10 release. I have a Dell Optiplex GX280 with a VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)]. Enabling Extra desktop effects caused UI to lock up after an unspecified amount of time (usually within 10 minutes).
I disabled the animations plugin as suggested in this ticket. Lockups have NOT occurred for over a day. A confirmed functional workaround seems to be to disable the animations plugin. -- random system freeze when desktop-effects activated with X300 (X600 and X700 too?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/115283 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
