@Martin: Apologies, I fat fingered it, and found no way to correct my mistake, great first contribution to Ubuntu eh?
@Covi: More people with this provlem are running Intel CPU with on-board GPU and have the same issue, nvidia should be let off the hook in this instance. @all: Commenting on this bug for a machine which is still in someway responsive, is just filling it with unrelated information. This is a HARD LOCK problem, resulting in a machine which is dead in the water, the lights are on, but nobody is home. In order to provide some constructive input: I have been experiencing this exact bug (HARD LOCK, loss of networking, absolutely no input, etc... ) after reinstalling afresh from a stable 11.10 Oneiric on 2.6 kernel, to 12.04 Precise with a 3.2 kernel. In an attempt to remedy the problem, I have tried installing the linux- image-generic-lts-quantal package to pull in a 3.5 kernel, NO FIX (possibly even more frequent). Having read many many reports and forum posts through several different distributions on various different hardware platforms, it seems it is not entirely limited to those which are Ubuntu derived. There seems to be a relatively common theme of Intel CPU's with onboard GPU, specificially the i3 and i5 processors which make use of the i915 driver. Which I happen to have Oops logs in syslog for once in a while (most likely another relatively unrelated bug in the i915 driver). So again in a vain attempt to resolve the issue, I made use of XORG-EDGERS PPA to obtain the latest daily builds of this driver and other xorg components, NO FIX. Another common theme among these reports, seems to be intensive GPU use for video playback, more often than not via XBMC. This is the primary use of MY box, and while not making use of XBMC on the machine, it has resulted in a stable up time of 3+ days. I am convinced this is kernel / driver module related specifically since 2.6 > 3.2, so those running Mint who think its resolved confuse me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993187 Title: ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently.

No other TTYs can be started. Mouse doesn't move. Keyboard doesn't react. The only solution is hard reset. Seems to happen on a variety of configurations, including nVidia, ATI and Intel graphics. If you are still able to TTY or SSH into other sessions, move the mouse or use the keyboard, file another bug. Thx. Joris V. (brains). Update: 5/21/2012 Updating the kernel to 3.3.6 as suggested by Michael in #91, the system seems stable, no freezes yet in 5-6 hrs of using and watching videos for couple of hrs. Original description: I recently installed newly released ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit version on my desktop. And it is frequently freezing, for the first few hours it ran smoothly and when I started watching videos it started freezing randomly. I have to use hard restart every time. Initially it was only during videos but now even during normal browsing it is freezing. I am using on board graphics and do not have any graphics card installed. Can someone please help me here, I really love the new looks of 12.04 and it bugs me not being able to use :( Below is my hardware configuration: Processor: Intel CORE i3 processor (2nd generation) Board: Intel® Desktop Board DH67BL Ram: 4GB Graphics: On board HDD: 500 GB Please let me know if you need more information, or any specific logs I can capture (and how).
