[Bug 1497627] Re: Periodically video will freeze for no reason at all and no specific time between freezes.

 

apport information

** Description changed:

  This has been going on for over a year. It doesn't matter if I have any
  applications open such as Evolution or Firefox. It could happen any time
  during the day when I'm working on the computer or during the night when
  its' the most idle. Once the video freezes the cursor can still be moved
  around the desktop however clicking on anything does not work. During
  this time all background process and cronjobs continue to run.
  
  Running the command listed below:
  
  chris@localhost:~$ cat /proc/version_signature > version.log
  cat: /proc/version_signature: No such file or directory
  
  Of course what I expect to happen is the video to not freeze every so often.
  What happened is that the video froze.
