Happened to me again, also; I had the lid closed on the laptop and Transmission running full screen, and it was closed for perhaps 10-15 minutes. I was able to restart X with ctrl-alt-bkspace. This seems consistant with comments up thread that disabling sync_to_vblank only minimizes the occurance of the bug and is not a true work around.
I am thinking that this could be triggered by Transmission running full- screen and the screen blanking that happens when you shut the lid. Of course, this didn't happen in 9.10. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/762918 Title: Natty Screensaver freezes system after some period of inactivity -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
