Try disabling the Composite extension (this means that Compiz won't work though):
type: sudo nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf and get to the "Extensions" section - if you have one - and make sure that it looks like the following. If you don't have such section you will have to add it manually. Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Disable" EndSection type: CTRL+X to save and exit then restart either the Xserver or your computer and see if it solves the problem. -- BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 11s [compiz.real:7178] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/251048 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
