Thanks for all that. I am on standby at the moment to see if it freezes again as it has not for the past week - hoping it has magically corrected itself! but great to know how I can get to the command post.

> DETAILS: Hi, hope someone can help out. I have Ubuntu 9.10 upgraded from 9.04 and running dual boot parallel with XP Windows (which is not experiencing the same problem, so not a hardware fault). I start up and work for awhile and eventually the screen stops responding to the cursor, so I have to switch off power and reboot to continue. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this problem?

> 2) the response to this command is 'W: Unable to locate package packagename'. I don't know what to check for in Synaptic??

> INTERRUPTION!! - the screen keeps freezing as I attempt to complete this information so I will send now and add to it later if I can.
