Dear all, I had the complete freeze bug with my laptop running ubuntu. Tried installing gnome 3 (which I like much) but it did not solve the problem (see previous posts). A few days ago, I installed kernel 3.6.10-030610-generic. The freeze problem seems to have gone for good.
I followed the procedure given at this address: http://la-vache-libre.org/?s=installer+le+noyau+linux+3.6.10 The commands they give are: cd /tmp wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/47950494/upubuntu.com/linux-kernel-3.6.10 -O linux-kernel-3.6.10 chmod +x linux-kernel-3.6.10 sudo sh linux-kernel-3.6.10 sudo reboot That's written in french, but the sequence of commands looks rather straightforward. The page first explains how to install the kernel 3.7. Scroll the page down to the section where they talk of 3.6.10 (avoid odd numbers in kernel versions...). Note that the authors nevertheless warn that installing a new kernel can have (bad) consequences and that you'd better make a backup (honestly, I did not and proceeded with the install). The last sudo command given at the bottom of the page tells you how to remove the kernel 3.6.10 if you're not happy with it: sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.6.10* Note that you may have to re-install some of your drivers (or update some of them). For example, I had to install the appropriate alx driver for my atheros network card. If after installing the kernel, you have troubles with your Nvidia card, you may (hopefully) solve them with: cd /usr/src/linux-headers-3.4.4-030404-generic/arch/x86/include sudo cp -v generated/asm/unistd* ./asm -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993187 Title: ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently. Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “linux” source package in Precise: Won't Fix Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” source package in Precise: Won't Fix Bug description: Update: 6/12/2012 This bug is about a complete system lock-up. No other TTYs can be started. Mouse doesn't move. Keyboard doesn't react. The only solution is hard reset. Seems to happen on a variety of configurations, including nVidia, ATI and Intel graphics. If you are still able to TTY or SSH into other sessions, move the mouse or use the keyboard, file another bug. Thx. Joris V. (brains). Update: 5/21/2012 Updating the kernel to 3.3.6 as suggested by Michael in #91, the system seems stable, no freezes yet in 5-6 hrs of using and watching videos for couple of hrs. Original description: I recently installed newly released ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit version on my desktop. And it is frequently freezing, for the first few hours it ran smoothly and when I started watching videos it started freezing randomly. I have to use hard restart every time. Initially it was only during videos but now even during normal browsing it is freezing. I am using on board graphics and do not have any graphics card installed. Can someone please help me here, I really love the new looks of 12.04 and it bugs me not being able to use :( Below is my hardware configuration: Processor: Intel CORE i3 processor (2nd generation) Board: Intel® Desktop Board DH67BL Ram: 4GB Graphics: On board HDD: 500 GB Please let me know if you need more information, or any specific logs I can capture (and how).
