I dont know if this is realy any help but I am experiensing very similiar issue on arch linux, tough on blender 2.49
state of the freezes differ from "normal" 2-4sec to compleate system freeze with having to actually reset the system by hand I wish I could provide some logs but but cant figure out where to look for, blender atleast doesnt notice anything strange. ** Also affects: blender (Arch Linux) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Blender freezes the system for a few seconds (8.04) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/235521 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
