I can confirm what tomato-paste said about just the GUI being stuck. I have Karmic installed on my desktop, and at random times, everything but the mouse gets locked up. I can move the mouse around, and sometimes even carets in their textboxes are still blinking, but I cannot click or type anything. However, if sshd is running, I can log into the machine, and everything appears to be fine. When logged in like this, I can run "sudo shutdown -r now" to bring the system down gracefully.
Every once in a while, when brought down like this, when it reboots, it will hang on a black screen that says: "fsck ... n files, m directories..." I have no clue where to start debugging this, and am on the verge of reverting back to Jaunty. -- Karmic: frequent freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479296 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
