I had this problem after installing gutsy: All of a sudden everything froze (including keyboard) except from the mouse pointer. However, after making two changes the problem hasn't occurred for two days now. I recalled the following.
1. At my first login after installing gutsy I got a question from "restricted driver manager" if I wanted to use ATI accelerated graphics driver. At that time I enabled that option. After disabling this driver two days ago my computer hasn't frozen down. To disable the driver: System -> Administration -> Restricted drivers manager. 2. I did in fact one more change that is less likely to be related to the problem. Immediately after installing gutsy I removed all default directories in my user folder, i.e. Documents, Videos, Music etc. and they all ended up in the ~/.Trash directory. Two days ago I moved them back to their original location, but as I said, this is unlikely to be related to the problem. I will post here again if my computer starts freezing again even though the graphics driver is disabled. Details: I run gutsy on a LG LM70 Express. Graphic card, I don't know, probably listed in lshw but that one is written for hardware developers. -- [Gutsy] desktop and keyboard freezes while mouse is moveable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138094 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
