I too am having this difficulty. Have two terminal Windows open and Three Firefox windows all with three or more tabs. In addition have YAST2 control center open and printer configuration in it. Switched to printer configuration window and then back to one of my Firefox windows and the system locked. The mouse cursor went from an arrow to a 'I' and never changed. Could move mouse cursor all around -but- no action from the buttons... and no response from the keyboard. Only result was to hit the Power Off button. Upon restart everything worked OK, in fact all my tabs in Firefox restored themselves. YAST2 stayed closed though.
This happens randomly -and- does not seem to have a pattern. I also use VMware and DID NOT have it running this time -but- have had this lockup whilst in VMware inside one of my Virtual Windows. As far as I can tell ...from my experiences... it happens primarily when I switch from one window to another. IF that can be of some help. My System is an HP m7480n with an nVidia 7300 LE. Thanks, Chuck P.S. I, like the others DID NOT have this problem in prior versions of SuSE or openSuSE. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/908335 Title: Kernel Hard Freezing Very Often To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/908335/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
