I still firmly believe that the reason this bug has not been fixed is because the developers assume the different symptoms represent different bugs. It's entirely possible that the same bug could affect different chipsets/hardware combinations differently. To not at least consider this possibility is not only delusional, but weak troubleshooting.
This comment string is so long I've lost whether or not anyone has tried the latest in the 3.4.x kernel series. That is the latest kernel to be declared the next LTS release by the kernel team. I have mostly switched to Arch Linux (which uses a much newer kernel) and I've not had a single issue on any of my machines, on several different chipsets. Considering the LTS status of kernel 3.4, I highly recommend it to be considered for emergency adoption into 12.04 (after it is tested of course). Considering I haven't had this issue in Arch Linux, that only leaves two possibilities. One, an Ubuntu-specific code commit is causing the issue, or two, it's upstream with the kernel and a newer one should be considered. -- 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.
