Well...that was bizarre. After awhile, I figured out that I could use the terminal and Dolphin in KDE without many problems (although I couldn't scroll through the terminal with the mouse).
I took at a look at the running processes with top, and killed Xorg. Expectedly, it crashed to the Kubuntu login menu (recovering pretty well, I think). That fixed the problem, though, at least temporarily. I'm not sure what was going on, but whatever it was, it persisted across reboots, but got fixed when I intentionally killed Xorg. I don't know what would be different between killing Xorg versus powering off the hardware or CTRL+ALT+DEL in the shell, but it did something. -- kubuntu jaunty hangs completely while using mouse https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366222 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
