I think I'm affected by this bug too. What I can say about it, plus the info already here, is that it seems it's related to high RAM usage or I/O activity. I'm observing that almost all the times it occurs when I'm on Chromium and using almost all the available RAM. Suddenly, BANG! Hard reset needed (or plenty of patience to wait indefinitely).
Of course Chromium is a principal suspect here (I'll keep using Firefox for a while, so I can test this), but in my opinion the OS needs to be free of such things and Ubuntu should keep a last resort I could use, at least a way for me to open system monitor and close any suspect I have. I tried going to terminal so I could try to kill Chromium (the suspect) but even on terminal the system is unresponsive (it took me almost 10 minutes after I pressed the keys ctrl+alt+Fn and getting to terminal). Once I'm there, even to type a character takes many seconds. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/609716 Title: Ubuntu stops responding To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/609716/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
