Ubuntu 14.04 LTS hangs in Lenovo G510

Question

I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS in Lenovo Essential G510 laptop after erasing Windows 8 which came pre-installed(after trying Windows 8 and Ubuntu dual boot with hanging problem persisting). The system hangs in below two situations: 1. Watching videos in youtube in fullscreeen mode. 2. Copying files from the shared local area network.

Laptop specification : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4200M CPU @ 2.50GHz, 4 GB RAM. Network controller- Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 wireless network adapter(rev 01) Ethernet controller- Qualcomm Atheros QCA8172 Fast Ethernet(rev 10)(subsystem Lenovo device 3801) VGA Compatible controller- Intel Corp 4th gen integrated graphics controller(rev 06).

I switched to ubuntu with lot of expectations but this glitch is bothering me. Please tell the fix..

Are these actions work as expected under Windows 8? I would suggest you to run memtest for your RAM, check this thread for instructions: Memtest with Ubuntu 12.04 live CD — P.-H. Lin, Jan 06 '15 at 15:45

We believe it might be due to he missing of nvidia drive. So you can use the below command and install,

sudo apt-get install nvidia-current

After doing this please check whether the issue goes off.

For the first run of the command system hanged in the half way during the process but the second time successfully nvidia-current was installed. So the 1st problem I asked is solved. – Shiva Prasad Jan 07 '15 at 17:51
