These are slightly different symptoms (but similar) to what I see. When the panel locks up, window switching with alt-Tab works fine, and when gnome-panel is killed in a terminal (eg $ killall gnome-panel ) it mostly restarts okay (although sometimes it hangs again immediately, sometimes not). Switching to a virtual console with alt-F1, alt-F2 etc works fine (but can be slow if the machine is thrashing due to lack of RAM).
After restarting X gnome-panel starts fine, as normal (but still hangs eventually). If it's the same problem as Elizibeth and I have experienced, the memory allocated to gnome-panel will grow until your machine starts swapping with lots of hard disk thrashing ... do you see this ? -- Gnome-panel hangs and allocates all possible ram. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/154504 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
