i have similar behavior. i use ubuntu 9.04, 32bit. please advice how can this be investigated.
what i have tried: 1. switching to TTY - not working 2. using the mouse - the mouse moves, but no response for clicks, and NOT leaving trails. 3. using the keyborad - not working 4. animation on the desktop (clock, monitors, etc) - not updated 5. SSH from remote system - works 6. graphical environment can be killed with -9 switch and restarted, although the system becomes unstable. i used the folowing manual (safe configuration) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 -- Desktop and keyboard stop responding https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/96809 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
