Public bug reported:
Myself and several other users have been experiencing hard locks in Edgy
(i.e. the system becoming completely unresponsive to any mouse or
keyboard input - including Ctrl+Alt+Delete and Ctrl+Alt+Backspace).
People's precise symptoms differ somewhat, and are documented in this
forum thread on the Ubuntu forums:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=296031.
In my particular case the symptoms are different each time - the hard lock has
so far happened:
- while doing nothing in particular and hovering the cursor over the icons in
the top-right of the screen.
- during a Skype call.
- while using Azureus.
I don't have anything particularly out-of-the ordinary on this machine,
so it's pretty much an up-to-date Edgy install, plus a few fairly
standard programs (e.g.. Sun Java, Azureus, Skype, video codecs, ...).
The hardware is a laptop (Acer 1357LMi) with Athlon XP-M 3000+ CPU and
ATI Radeon Mobility 9200 graphics.
I'm afraid I can't be particularly helpful in terms of a reproduction
scenario (as I say, the problem seems to be somewhat random - though
many others are hitting it). I'm happy to reproduce this myself and
produce any useful information if someone can tell me what to gather
here. The frequency of this bug seems to be that it now mostly happens
within an hour of booting - enough to make the OS pretty much unusable
for everyday use so I'm back on Windows.
