Well I spoke too soon and I did have the same problem with 8.04 LTS
(i.e. a freeze, but mouse moving), but actually I now think that all my
problems with the HP Pavilion laptop have been related to the NVIDIA
graphics. I took apart the laptop as far as removing the system board,
and rebuilt it. The
I have had the same problem with my HP Pavilion 9600 Laptop since
upgrading to Karmic. The system freezes at a random moment, the mouse
can move but that's all, nothing can be clicked. When I've had System
Monitor Open or top in a terminal they also freeze. I've not been able
to get at /var/log/sys
