Since the beginning of the week, I have been working every day without external monitor to avoid that bug.
It occurred again, still without external monitor. Exact same symptoms. * Ctrl-Alt-F1 still does not switch to text console * From another machine, ssh still works. * From other machine through ssh, kill -9 -1 as user yields black screen with frozen mouse pointer (pointer was not frozen before) * From other machine through ssh, sudo killall -9 Xorg brought back the login screen from which I'm currently writing. Could it be that the actual problem is not strictly related to external monitor, but occurs more often with a big desktop area ? Desktop area of laptop alone 1920x1080 Desktop area with external 1280x1024 monitor : 3200x1080. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1002542 Title: Xorg freeze minutes after plugging external monitor.
