Title:
Gnome Freezes -- Ubuntu 9.10 -- big time freezes.
This bug report hasn't been updated in about a year, apart from spam.
The issue is basically a GPU lockup. GPU lockups can occur from a
variety of different underlying bugs, and the symptoms by and large all
appear identical, so the me-too's on this bug could quite possibly have

To follow up on tests reported in ## 94 - 107, I booted the same
computer w/ the U-10.04 beta ISO on a cd-rom. The last time I tried it,
the computer ran for 2 - 3 minutes before freezing. Decided to see if I
could go to System-Preferences-Appearance-Visual Effects and change
Hi,
I'm also having the same problem. Screen freezes after login. It needs
to be forced to reboot. If I go thru recovery mode, it drops in to

You are correct in your comments in posting #100.
The only odd thing is that the first time that I ran the cd-rom ISO
file, it froze shortly after U-9.10 started. The second time, I ran the

whenever you set the visual effects to Normal. The same is also true

Hi WeatherGod,
Quick question, since we are so far into 9.10 with April 29, 2010 being
the launch date of 10.04 (IE: 4 weeks) ... perhaps we should look into
how it's running in the alpha / beta versions of 10.04 rather than the
current 9.10 ?
It's just that I suspect that even if it's
Roger, agreed. Besides, this is probably most likely a graphics driver
issue with regards to some of the work that is being done in the Linux
