For those interested - while I was having this issue on 10.04 (before backing down to 9.1) I did disable acpi by booting with acpi=off. That did nothing and the xorg process still took over with 100% after varying amounts of time.
I had also disabled any compiz effects (which I have to do anyway because you can't vnc into the system *witth* compiz) and the screensaver. -- Ubuntu 10.04 random freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585765 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
