Public bug reported: This is a far stretch for a bug report, but I am just reporting what I experienced.
On a Jaunty Ubuntu 9.04 system, 64bit, Compiz disabled, nvidia driver 180.44 I had the following: Rhythmbox was playing music constantly. I have several apps open: Thunderbird, Firefox, Virtualbox with a virtual Ubuntu 9.10 with 512 MB Ram, machine has 4GB of ram but reports only 3 GB, several other apps. Randomly the system seems to freeze for a couple of seconds - no mouse movement and music stops playing. Then it unfreezes and the mouse is working again and the music continues. (The music is read from an NFS mount). No difference if the Virtualbox is running, or the virtualbox is running with only 256 MB ram. When I switch apps, it freezes *almost* always. I have also disabled swap as mem is on 70% only. I have system monitor running, cpu is not at max. This random freezes happen very often, sometimes while just typing email or typing in firefox (both inside the host and the guest). Keyboard repeats in the guest, like helllllllllllllllllllllo and stuff like that. Totally weird. After a couple of days (uptime system is 12 days) I decided to change the update frequency of the system monitor from 1.25 to 0.25 and... the problem went away! Then changed back to 1.25. And the problem did not happen again (yet). No clue. Could this be related to System Monitor?????????? I don't require an answer. I just want to report it. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- random short freezes caused by System Monitor? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/419601 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
