It may be related to Thunderbird when it received a new mail, but only sometime. Indeed I'm able to get a failsafe desktop when unity/compiz freeze by using unity-2d/metacity, and then I notice that Thunderbird window that was minimized cannot display it content (unity-2d show a dark window). I've noticed that twice so far, so I'm still not sure but it may help.
To get back on unity-2d/metacity do the following things: Ctrl-Alt-F1 [wait until it switch; that can take about 30 seconds] [login] killall -9 compiz DISPLAY=0:0 metacity --replace & DISPLAY=0:0 unity-2d-panel & DISPLAY=0:0 unity-2d-shell & killall -9 compiz Ctrl-Alt-F7 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/987498 Title: Unity/compiz freeze but mouse still move To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/987498/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ 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
