[Bug 461163] [NEW] Gnome Freezes -- Ubuntu 9.10 -- big time freezes.

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Due to the large number of other people posting to this bug report, the
information provided by the original reporter "The Founder" has been
summarized below for ease of reading.

=== Description ===
Ubuntu 9.10

On boot, the computer reaches the login screen and allows you to enter
your username and password. Then within 1-15 seconds after you see the
desktop the machine freezes.

"freezes" by definition means the machine is completely 100% non-
responsive. The mouse will not move. The keyboard will not respond.

After a hard shut down (IE: unplug the machine from the UPS) you can
reach the login screen again after a reboot, at this point if you select
fail-safe the machine runs as expected... but only in fail-safe move.

KDE and X run fine. This bug is specific to Gnome Standard.

=== Hardware ===
It's a Compaq Presario - Celeron D
Intel 950 Video Card
1.5 GB ram

=== Possible Workaround ===
Another user with similar hardware and freeze has reported that it is the latest driver that is causing the issue, and has rolled back to a previous version with success.

=== Possible Cause ===
Possibly a conflict with Compiz and Intel video drivers?
