I am currently experiencing this issue which goes beyond sound on my system. I can reliably re-create the issue by playing about 3 or 4 minutes of music, however once started the whole system stops without input. This includes screen updates (to the system monitor pannel applet), music and network traffic.
I have noticed in addition to moving the mouse or pressing any key (including modifiers like Shift), downloading items off the internet temporarily solves the problem. I noticed this as the problem didn't happen while the latest updates were downloading in the background. As soon as the download stopped and the installation began, the music began to skip and the installation would stall until input was given. I have done the following tests with the following results. Test 1: Recreate base issue. Restart computer normally, and play music. After 3-4 minutes the music and system begin to skip. Open a terminal and try to ping. As long as input is present on the keyboard or the mouse, the music and ping work correctly. As soon as input is stopped, music and ping stops. Even without music playing, ping does not continue unless input is given. Test 2: Test in single mode without graphical user interface. Restart the computer and boot into recovery mode. Choose root shell with network, and play music using mplayer off the command prompt. Again, after 3-4 minutes the music begins to skip. Quitting mplayer and attempting ping also results in ping hanging until input is given. While in terminal mode, moving the mouse does not alleviate the issue.

I am recreating the issue using music as it is the fastest way I can cause the issue, but I suspect it could be recreated with other things that don't involve input. -- User interface stutters / laggy when mouse NOT moving https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/661327 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
