Few weeks ago we moved from 10.04 to 12.04 at work. Mostly because of newer machines had problems with older kernels (no SATA, no sound). I have to admit that 10.04 was light years away from 12.04 when it comes to stability. There was mean time between crashes measured in weeks, when 12.04 can have 10 crashes in one hour. It's really disappointing. Right now I'm upgrading kernel to 3.2.0-41 and hoping it will fix freezes and crashes before coleagues at work crucifies me.
Will report after few days if that helped. If not, I have no clue what will I do since I'm running out of options. So if anyone can help me pointing in right direction or what can I do to help developers find and kill this annoying bug, I'm here. Oh and those 60 machines at work are all from DELL, models Optiplex 380SFF, 390 SFF and 1030SFF. Just what's built in, with Intel graphics and all runing on Gnome Classic - no Unity. All machines are connected to network and has mounted Samba and NFS shares, each one of 100 users uses mostly Firefox, Thunderbird, LibreOffice, Audacity, VLC and some custom developed software. Ironicaly Ubuntu HCL lists those machines as compatible when clearly they far from that. -- 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).
