I still see this problem daily, even after a clean install of Ubuntu 10.10. However, things are even worse for me now: I used to be able to get out of the frozen state by simply pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1, waiting 10s, then pressing Ctrl+Alt+F7 again to go back to X -- but now this doesn't work anymore. Instead, I have to go to Ctrl+Alt+F1 and run the following lines:
$ pkill -9 compiz $ pkill -9 nautilus I know it's very strange that I would need to kill Nautilus at all, but there it is. It doesn't work unless I do that too. The result of the those two lines is that I can Ctrl+Alt+F7 back into X and start Metacity by hand to continue with my session. However, if I try to start Compiz instead I just get a screen where the only things visible are my wallpaper and the mouse cursor (which I can move just fine, but that's about it). -- Autoscroll in Firefox can freeze these at once: Firefox, keyboard, mouse, and possibly other things https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/566412 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
