Jaunty freezing!
Hi All,
Anyone experiencing freezing in Jaunty? I am running it on a Toshiba A135 and something keeps freezing it....I can't pinpoint it at all but it's being used by my girlfriend for school work, having it freeze in the middle of a 10 page law paper would be horrible so I am hoping to fix it soon. So:
1. Anyone seeing this problem?
2. Suggestions on how to pinpoint the issue...different software has been open every time so I really don't know what's triggering it
3. Anyone know of a bug that's been reported, I looked but couldn't find anything
4. Lastly, I thought Linux was known for "not freezing" and instead individual software will freeze and not cause a system wide crash, what's up with my whole system freezing up?

I've seen reports of Jaunty freezing with the new intel driver, but you have an nvidia card, right? I'm running Jaunty on a computer now with an nvidia and haven't suffered any problems at all. I'd still wager it's either an xserver or video card driver problem, though. Does it totally lock up? Are you able to get into a tty via CTRL+ALT+F1? Have you tried running something like htop, and seeing if anything is using an excessive amount of processing power or memory?

That answers it. This computer is actually running an intel graphics card. Where did you read about the issue?

found several bug reports. I've added to them.....to me this is a beta bug....shouldn't have happened in a final release
The system just randomly freezes, completely, no response to anything, only thing I can do is hard reboot which means I lose anything I was doing since last save....on a work/school computer this is a problem

Is it only when using the Intel driver, have you tried using the Vesa driver for the time being?

My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.

Thanks for the links, I'm doing the downgrade to the intel driver instead of the new one....why would the Ubuntu foundation think it was smart to have by default something which they say is still experimental....to me that just seems like a bad move

The Ubuntu wiki has an answer to you there as well.
Problem: EXA performance has regressed since Intrepid. Why not stick with the old driver?
