Title:
  Random hang/freeze

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Random freezes occur up to 3 times per day (8-10 hours). Mouse does
  not move. Ctrl-Alt-F1 does not switch to terminal 1. SysRq + REISUB
  does not work, most likely since it's a laptop and it doesn't seem to
  catch the "Fn" key correctly. A hard reboot is the only solution. The
  problem appears in Unity, Gnome Classic, XFCE and KDE, but more seldom
  in KDE (some days not at all). The problem only occurs at two client
  sites (wifi), never at home (wifi) or the home office (ethernet) which
  leads me to believe this may actually be network related and not Xorg
  related. I also get the feeling that it occurs more frequently when
  running the Opera web browser, but can't be sure. The problem first
  appeared sometime during the 12.04 release.

  Open applications are usually:

  Virtualbox (2 or 3 instances, winXP and Win7 guests)
  Firefox
  Skype
  Pidgin
  Tomboy
  Evolution or Thunderbird
  Gnome-do
  Weather indicator etc.

  I'm fairly technical so I could probably provide further information
  if told where/how to look.
