@Tim: I completely agree. I am currently using Arch Linux. I love it. I've been considering trying out Kubuntu again, since Arch seems to be a moving target all the time. However, with bugs like this, there's no way I can consider it. Even if it does get fixed, it will only be fixed due to user outcry and not any form of quality standards (which seem to be completely absent). On the Xubuntu VM I have installed, I've had this lockup with just Leafpad and Thunar open.
I honestly feel that if it was an employee that marked a bug of this magnitude as "WONTFIX", they should be fired. If it was a volunteer that did it, they should be urged to stop contributing. If their heart is not in this distro any longer, they should find something they are passionate about and enjoy more. Sweeping an issue like this under the rug is extremely damaging not only to the reputation of this distribution, but Linux as a whole. I am more than saddened, I am disgusted by this. If the most popular Linux distribution out there has practically zero quality assurance, we're all screwed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993187 Title: ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently.
