[Bug 815996] Re: Desktop occasionally freezes/locks up when switching workspaces

 

I have a similar bug, but i'm not sure if it's the same issue. I'm not
using compiz as far as i know and i don't think i have the workspaces
enabled. But after upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04 my system freezes often
when chrome is up and a video. It almost seems like a memory problem,
but perhaps it's related to the graphics driver. Here is my bug that i
reported. If it's not the same, then just ignore my comments. But it's a
serious problem.

Bug description:
  I'm assuming the issue is related to Compiz, but I'm not 100% sure.
  When I'm switching workspaces, it occasionally locks up (becoming more
  frequent). Most of the time, I'm going from the current one down
  (Ctrl+Alt+Down Arrow), and it freezes mid slide. Typically, I'm able
  to correct things by backing out to a terminal then returning
  (Ctrl+Alt+F1, pause, Alt+F7), but sometimes when I return the dual
  screen setup acts as one large screen (windows are stretched to the
  full width of both screens) and many of the windows collect on the
  first workspace.

  
  Ubuntu 11.04 (Classic)
  All packages up-to-date.

  If there are any logs/etc that would be helpful, let me know.
