Random lockups


Recommended Posts

I've been using Ubuntu Feisty with Beryl for a while, and once in a while the screen will flicker and then the whole system will be locked up except for the mouse cursor. I've tried pressing ctrl+alt+bksp to restart GDM, and no luck.

Anybody have any suggestions on fixing this issue?

My system is fully updated, I even tried updating the Nvidia driver to see if that would fix the issue.

For video card I have a Geforce Go 7600.

As I usually recommend. Have you tried 7.10 of Ubuntu? When you say Beryl do you mean Compiz-Fusion since Beryl is now integrated into Compiz?

I think this is nvidia driver issue, I have been facing this regularly on my HP laptop with 7600 card, i have used everything latest (kmod-nvidia from livna) , laptop is dead and going to repair, hope this issue is solved atleast in coming months.

Actually I was still using Beryl, because before when I tried using Compiz I always ran into problems with the titlebar for windows disapearing. (the rest of the border was still there.) I will possibly try updating to 7.10 and using Compiz-Fusion. Could be just the older Beryl causing my problem. hopefully C-F still has all the same effects that were in Beryl.
