Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
The console will randomly freeze/ lockup. I initially thought this was a screensaver issue as I first noticed it when stepping away from the machine for a while and coming back to a frozen screensaver display. The screensaver was set to "random" and a search for probable causes led me to believe that using a non-openGL screensaver might stop the problem. However, I've also had situations where the keyboard and mouse (Synaptic touchpad) will stop responding while actively using the machine. The keyboard becomes completely unresponsive. I can move the cursor with the mouse, but the machine will not respond to mouse clicks, nor will the cursor change as expected when moving across a document with embedded hyperlinks. The only way to recover is to power down and reboot, or to remote login via ssh and issue a "sudo shutdown -r now" command. I've tried to do some investigative work via the ssh remote login console, but the keyboard stops responding after just a few minutes and I have to sever the connection, wait a few minutes, then open a new connection to get another couple minutes of normal keyboard response. This problem started immediately after upgrading to 9.10 from 9.04 (which was rock solid), but I noticed that it also seems to be prevalent in 10.04 (per the Release Notes), so I though that this additional data point may be useful.
