timelf123, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdHome/?sp4ts.oid=5045607&spf_p.tpst=swdMain&spf_p.prp_swdMain=wsrp-navigationalState%3DswEnvOID%253D4053%257CswLang%253D%257Caction%253DlistDriver&javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken#BIOS an update to your BIOS is available (F.42). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Description changed: - Having the same issue as everyone else in - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1184451 - - CTRL-F1 and then back to CTRL-F7 works sometimes. - - Either the whole screen freezes (clock stuck, mouse/kb frozen -- - requires a force reboot) OR a single window freezes for 5-30 seconds - while other processes continue to work. - - Specs: - Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS -=-> upgraded from 13.10 - 16 GB RAM - No proprietary display drivers active.
