Moving this over to tthe video driver package. Possibly a conflict with Compiz?
** Description changed: - This is my problem -- I can't boot in Gnome proper -- must use failsafe - .. Just did an upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10 from 9.04 ... upgrade went ok.. - then within 30 seconds in Gnome.. it freezes... freezes to the point - where I can't even move the mouse, type anything.. must do hard reboot. + Due to the large number of other people posting to this bug report, the + information provided by the original reporter "The Founder" has been + summarized below for ease of reading. - Now Gnome failsafe works fine, I installed KDE to see if that works.. - no problem... just Gnome. + === Description === + Ubuntu 9.10 - I can't even see what the problem is because the computer locks up to - the point where a hard reboot is needed. + On boot, the computer reaches the login screen and allows you to enter + your username and password. Then within 1-15 seconds after you see the + desktop the machine freezes. + "freezes" by definition means the machine is completely 100% non- + responsive. The mouse will not move. The keyboard will not respond. + + After a hard shut down (IE: unplug the machine from the UPS) you can + reach the login screen again after a reboot, at this point if you select + fail-safe the machine runs as expected... but only in fail-safe move. + + KDE and X run fine. This bug is specific to Gnome Standard. + + === Hardware === It's a Compaq Presario - Celeron D Intel 950 Video Card 1.5 GB ram - I cannot provide you with any more information regarding it because - honestly the computer locks up to the point where I can't reach terminal - or click on anything to find out what is wrong. - - Now I am not a big fan of having to use Gnome Failsafe... I can - provide you any information you need when the computer is in Gnome - failsafe.. but I cannot report squat when it locks up in Gnome - - Worth Nothing, this machine ran Ubuntu 9.04 without fail or errors... - + === Automated Info === ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 CheckboxSubmission: 1923ca52bf5a2e4df6574cb43225cf73 CheckboxSystem: 6ce041aeed0a2c17b3343b66d157175d Date: Mon Oct 26 10:56:09 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/yelp Package: yelp 2.28.0-0ubuntu2 ProcEnviron: - LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + LANG=en_US.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-14.48-generic SourcePackage: yelp Uname: Linux 2.6.31-14-generic i686 + + === Possible Workaround === + Another user with similar hardware and freeze has reported that it is the latest driver that is causing the issue, and has rolled back to a previous version with success. + + === Possible Cause === + Possibly a conflict with Compiz and Intel video drivers? ** Package changed: ubuntu => xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) -- Gnome Freezes -- Ubuntu 9.10 -- big time freezes. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/461163 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
