This could be an issue with the Intel 82865G integrated graphics driver. I have tried the older Intel 2.4 Driver.
RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4 ( Does NOT work, missing details and valid PPA sources .. ) Instead I used: Downgraded versions of X.org drivers, libraries, etc. for Ubuntu. https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-retro Click on: 'View package details' Click on: 'xserver-xorg-video-intel-2.4 - 2:2.4.1-1ubuntu11~ppa1' (near bottom) Download: https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-retro/+files/xserver-xorg-video-intel-2.4_2.4.1-1ubuntu11%7Eppa1_i386.deb Then installed using: Ctrl-Alt-F1, for text login cd Downloads/ (location of .deb file) sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-intel-2.4_2.4.1-1ubuntu11~ppa1_i386.deb (enter password) sudo apt-get -f install (re-start PC) THIS DID NOT APPEAR TO FIX PROBLEM. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/882893 Title: gnome-screensaver 3.2.0-0ubuntu1 failed to exit Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: On older PC (Intel P4 2.8GHz, 1GB RAM), I am seeing this lockup with default settings.
