** Description changed:
After installing the last updates available via update manager (7th Sept) the
unity desktop has become very unstable.
It becomes unusable after an hour of use from reboot.
- Initial manifestation is that I can't start any new applications, then
pressing the "alt" key causes unity to freeze.
+ Initial manifestation is that I can't start any new applications, then
pressing the "alt" key causes unity to freeze.
I loose the min/max controls on each window and keyboard stops functioning so
can't do restart from a terminal and forced to do reboot.
Before above happens I can 't start any applications either from sidebar or
alt/F2
-
- This is a show stopper for me as I have to reboot every hour.
I can reproduce this state by running the command "unity" from the a
terminal and then ctrl/c out of it. So it seems that unity crashes ? but
does not get restarted(as I don't get dumped back to a login screen).
