I try to run Ubuntu 11.10. I tried :

  • 64 bits release
  • 32 bits release
  • live CD

Ubuntu is freezing randomly... I don't know why. Mouse is freezing, screen go black then appear again, mouse is moving but I can't do anything.

Note : freeze can append if I run Firefox during install.

11.04 was perfect. I've never had such troubles...

I'm not a power user, just a fan... So I can't bring you informations. I just have:

  • a classic SATA
    • disk 1 primary partition with Windows,
    • 1 logical with Ubuntu,
    • 1 primary with personal data.
  • USB mouse.
  • Ethernet cable.
  • ATI RadeonHD card

When I use CTRL+ALT+F1 command, I have a lot of messages with errors. Radeon is repeated a lot of times.

I also faced a single instance after the upgrade where the freeze happened, but could not reproduce it. You may like to read this link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze. You can file a bug by providing more information about it to the developers.

This is not a permanent solution...simply press super key(windows key),it will open the unity dash & just move the cursor(using mouse/track-pad)...then press Esc/Super key

I had same problem on diferent machines. I fixed it with new driver from ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates I think everyone of you have a nvidia graphic card too. I saw that xorg process runs on 99 % cpu usage and blocked everything.

So that is my solution.
