Peter Hoeg: Mine behaves almost exactly like you're describing. I've found if I create a 512MB swapfile and every time it starts getting a bit laggy like it's about to freeze up, I tab over to a terminal window and run:
sudo swapon /path/to/swapfile sudo swapoff -a Something about turning on the swapfile and turning it back off does something that usually buys me about an hour before it starts locking up again. I know it's not great, but it's better than rebooting several times a day. I really wish someone would fix this problem, it's been consistent for me and a daily struggle/annoyance on 3 releases now. Until this problem is fixed, Ubuntu = Windows ME :( -- Heavy Disk I/O harms desktop responsiveness https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/131094 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
