It happened again last night. As before, no warning, nothing in messages or logs. And the sound continued; just X was stuck. After rebooting on Friday I applied all the Xubuntu 12.04 updates, some of which related to X. I was hoping that might fix the problem, but apparently it did not. This computer ran straight Ubuntu 10.04 without a problem from the time it was released until just a couple months ago when I finally did a fresh install of Xubuntu 12.04. The freezes started after installing 12.04. It is always possible that it is hardware related, but if so the hardware problem would have to have begun coincidentally right after installing 12.04. I think I'm just going to shop for a distro that I can get with just Xfce and multimedia codecs, and long term support, really, really long term support. It's annoying always having to futz with things. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
