I use GNU Cash and tried your steps above but do not get a lockup. I also tried the terminal moving through the command list but also did not experience any problems.
I still have disabled compiz, NVidia proprietary drivers, and Open GL screensavers. Since disabling all of those I have experienced lockups only 4 or 5 times in the past 3 weeks. When the lockups occurred they tended to happen in spurts with at least a couple back to back (within a 1/2 to 1 hour of each other). -- Hardy Freeze/Lockup with kernel 2.6.24-16-generic up to 2.6.24-19-generic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239021 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
