I have tried Feisty and I seem to have the same problem there, too, only much worse; sometimes I can't even finish running the install app.
I did manage to get Feisty running for awhile. Here are some things that seemed odd, relative to this problem: - once again, my screen saver would not "engage". though I finally got it to start working by setting it to lock the screen as well; - at one point, I had the system activity monitor running, when I clicked on the Firefox icon. The screen froze before firefox could start, and the top process in the system activity monitor was Firefox in an "uninterruptible" state. - at another point, the windows had frozen. I played around with the ctrl-alt-f1, f2, etc. I was able to get a login window, enter my name and password, but at that point I did not get a shell prompt, though returns were still echoed back to the screen. In some desperation, I tried my toshiba's Fn keys for suspend, resume, and so forth. When I pressed the "switch screen" key, I suddenly received a shell prompt, and was able to do a "ps" and a couple of other things - but then things froze again. So, to sum up. Right now, I'm running Edgy, and I can pretty much count on one screen hangup per day. I cannot upgrade to Feisty because it will not run without hanging up for more than an hour or so. This is a really serious problem. I have no idea what to do about it. I do not wish to stop using Ubuntu. -- [Edgy] - hangs, windows become unresponsive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/98999 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
