Exactly the same thing happened to me twice now. it works fine 99% of the time but sometimes will just freeze. Never happened on Gutsy and never happens on WinXP either.
I thought it might be SATA-related since the hard drive light flashes once every couple of seconds while it is frozen. I can move the mouse pointer around the screen but I cannot do anything else. I tried Ctrl- Alt-F1 to drop to console, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to reset Xorg, even Ctrl- Alt-Del didn't work! After a cold boot (hard power down) it all works fine. I am running an Athlon XP 2800+ on a Gigabyte board with 1.5GB RAM, a Seagate SATA drive. Graphics is an ATI Radeon 9200. It is not a fresh install, I upgraded to Hardy from Gutsy 7.10. Applications I had open at the time (both times) were Gnome-terminal, Nautilus, Gedit, Evolution, Firefox and OpenOffice Writer. -- System freezes : Ubuntu Hardy Heron beta https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217573 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
