@ Geoff Smith (taurusone) this is another, very similar bug, in your case "only" X (graphic environment) freezes. in other cases, the entire system freezes, no response from mouse or keyboard...
i have entire system freezes in KDE (kwin), Unity (Compiz), Gnome (Mutter). unity-2d works fine... probable all desktops without 3D effects... perhaps a bug in 3D driver mesa? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993187 Title: ubuntu 12.04 64bit completely freezes frequently To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/993187/+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
