I have this problem too. I have tried selecting ubuntu2d to no avail either, it freezes.
I have tried to not log in to X with lightdm, but instead just do a alt+f1 and go straight to console and I get a total freeze even. Tried to connect from the outsite but the ip of the machine in question was not responding. So it is a total freeze. After installing, some reboots, installing propietary nvidia driver 295.40, which worked fine for me and working with the desktop for a while I got my first freeze, since then, I have tried uninstalling the nvidia propietary driver but I still get freezes, quicker freezes even. My freezes are fast but I managed to collect some preliminary data. Dmesg.txt includes dmesg complete output + lspci + lsusb output. If there is any other specific info/log I could provide just tell me ** Attachment added: "dmesg output + lspci + lsusb" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/993187/+attachment/3131592/+files/dmesg.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993187 Title: ubuntu 12.04 64bit completely freezes frequently To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/993187/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
