Title:
12.04 window manager freezes during or soon after installation
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Apparently, the X drivers supplied with ubuntu 12.04 for a new
installation have a bug that causes a window freeze during or soon
after installation on a Dell Dimension 2400 having on-motherboard
Intel video hardware. The problem could be reliably induced by almost
any manipulation of Firefox, though other interactions also seemed to
trigger the problem. Notably, the automatic screen saver appeared to
cause a freeze 10 minutes into an initial pkg update, ultimately
resulting in a broken install.
The resolution was a driver update using ppa:ubuntu-x-swat before
attempting any user interaction in X, by logging into the console ASAP
with cntl-alt-F1. It seems these updates need to be incorporated into
the 12.04 release iso image, and into the normal repository if not
already there.
