When you ssh'd in and the connection froze, was the Karmic PC connected via wireless or cable? In ubuntu the wireless connection is managed through the user's xorg-session, and if xorg dies, it may take the connection with it. If it was connected via a cable it is a sign that something goes wrong on a deeper level than xorg, e.g. in an xorg- related kernel module. If you manage to write a command over ssh before it freezes `dmesg >dmesg.txt` could be a good choice.
When it hangs, is there a mouse pointer still? If so, does it move at all when you move the mouse? Does the CapsLock button turn the corresponding keyboard LED on and off? -- No X Video on Built-in Monitor of Dell Inspiron 1100 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/412245 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
