[Bug 382431] Re: Ubuntu locks up frequently on MacBook rev. E

 

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xorg
  
  Ubuntu 9.04, MacBook rev. E (early 2008)
  
  For the past week or so, Ubuntu 9.04 has locked up frequently, about
  once every hour.
  
  The first symptoms are that the pointer will begin moving jerkily in
  response to trackpad movement, and stop responding to keyboard input.
  About a minute later, the pointer stops moving altogether. I then have
  to shut down the computer by holding down the power button on my
  MacBook.
  
  If I switch to a text console with Fn+Ctrl+Alt+F1 when Ubuntu starts
  becoming sluggish, I am able to enter my login name but Ubuntu never
  gets around to asking me for my password. On one occasion this morning I
  did manage to enter my password and run top before the computer stopped
  responding completely, but it showed nothing unusual (no process using
  more than 10% of CPU).
