Upgraded to 7.10 - everything loaded perfectly - menus were present and then I received option for load restricted drivers for graphics card (ATI 400). Installed drivers, rebooted and black screen came up. None of the fixes on the forums worked. Finally reverted back to 7.4.

[Bug 119688] Re: Screen goes blank and computer becomes unresponsive.
Ok same thing has happened twice more and I was playing around in console to try and figure out how to unlock the screen so everything would work again and I suceeded finally! Here's all you need to do, switch to a console, login under the user logged in and type the following 3 commands: export DISPLAY=:0.0 xscreensaver-command -restart xscreensaver-command -lock Then I hit ctrl+f7, the screen was locked and I simply logged in and everything was working. While this is deff annoying at least it isn't a complete lockup and can be recovered from. -- Screen goes blank and computer becomes unresponsive. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119688 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 119688] Re: Screen goes blank and computer becomes unresponsive.
Not 100% sure if I'm having the same problem or not as it only started to occur after I upgraded to gutsy xubuntu, but I have the following problem and it sounds very similar. I have the screensaver app set to blank and lock the screen after 10 minutes, and most of the time I can press a key or move the mouse and the password box appears, I type in the password and off I go. However every so often, I'm not sure if it's only when I shut the lid on my laptop or after a certain amount of time has passed but the computer becomes unresponsive at least as far as accepting a password. I can hit ctrl+alt+f1 to switch to a console, and ctrl+alt+f7 to switch back to X, but it doesn't matter what I do I can't get back to normal. After killing gnome-screensaver from the console I can see my system etc the way I left it, but the mouse and other things (alt+tab) are still disabled because of the screensaver. Although I'm usually able to move mouse so that might be something else. On the mouse thing still, I was trying to salvage my existing session and loaded a second X and when I switched back to the first instance where the mouse was on the second it also appears the mouse moved to the same location on the first. -- Screen goes blank and computer becomes unresponsive. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119688 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 119688] Re: Screen goes blank and computer becomes unresponsive.
Is just Xorg not responding, or is the kernel unresponsive too? Can you hit ctrl+alt+f1 and get a virtual terminal? If you do that, what do you see? Is it a normal virtual terminal, or a mess? I'm having trouble where Xorg goes dead (monitor says no signal), but the kernel still responds enough to take me to the virtual terminal which looks like the mess that results from running cat /dev/urandom -- Screen goes blank and computer becomes unresponsive. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119688 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 119688] Re: Screen goes blank and computer becomes unresponsive.
Jessica, thanks for confirming the bug. It sounds sort of like an issue with the screensaver. There had been a known bug with certain binary drivers which resulted in 3D (OpenGL) screensavers causing lockups like this. Does this sound plausible? Alternately, we've had some reports of problems with video drivers, and I notice both of you are using ati cards. Could you each post the output from 'lspci -vv' so we can compare to see if you happen to have the same hardware? ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = High Status: Incomplete = Confirmed -- Screen goes blank and computer becomes unresponsive. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119688 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Rather than create a new bug, I'll say I've been having this same problem for a week or so (IBM Thinkpad T40 running single-boot Feisty, kernel version 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP).

Hmm, no prob, I can do the poking around to find the dupe bugs, if you can give me some information. Can you please attach your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? I can use this to find what driver you're running. Also, please include the output from the following command: discover --disable=serial,parallel,usb,ide,scsi --format=%V %M\t%S\t%D\n video Also, can you check your screensaver settings and see if you have any 3D screensavers (OpenGL) active? If I recall correctly, in Dapper the screensaver by default cycled randomly through different screensavers, which could cause crashes very similar to what you experienced, on some graphics hardware. Changing the screensaver settings solves that problem. In Feisty we set things to not do this by default, so this particular issue won't happen in the future. -- Screen goes blank and computer becomes unresponsive. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119688 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi Bryce, Is there an easy way to find them again? When I first reported the bug six or seven similar bugs appeared on a list but now I can't find them. I suppose one way to try to see them is for me to start to list another similar bug and hope that the same list appears? By the way the same problem happened again on the Acer today about 2 hours ago: Open Office left for several minutes then a blank screen and an unresponsive computer. Crashing was the only way to get it back. Regards, Keith. On Mon, 2007-06-11 at 09:06 +, Bryce Harrington wrote: Hi Keith, Could you give the ID numbers of bugs that report these same issues?
