    ok, so where do we go from here? Has anyone else tried KDE with success? can we narrow this down to a gnome issue?

    Same problem here mouse moves but system freezes. If computer is left alone and scrrensaver comes on no sign of mouse, have to hard restart. While using computer system will freeze and screensaver wont come on but will be able to move mouse. Tried removing compiz from package manager, no luck. dell sx260 with pentium4 and intel graphics.

    I have the same problem (X freezes, but not the mouse) since upgrading to 9.04 and now still in 9.10...

    Have a look in those two pages, it might help :

    ok, according to the info from the link, when the caps lock key blinks, then this is a kernel failure! So mine must be a kernel failure.

    What next?

    Same Here

    Toshiba A305 laptop. 9.10 AMD64 release.

    Fresh install, worked fine, rebooted once all.

    I configured my linkstation (SMBFS, CIFS) and updated fstab.

    Reboot, cap lock key flashes. I saw once some message about CIFS so I commented out those lines in the fstab, to no avail. I am not sure how to remove smbfs when I can't get the system to run ...

    I can boot from live cd just fine, so it has to be something I 'turned on'. I also enabled the restricted driver for the ATI card as well.. Not much else...

    I just noticed that my GRUB screen never appears? It flashes and just goes away so I can't even try a 'failsafe' boot...hmmmm


    Oh well...

    *** UPDATE ***

    Ok I figured the grub thing out, if you hold down the Shift key you get the menu, so no problem there. I have been able to get the machine (Toshiba Laptop A305) with no issues. It seems to be the restricted driver for the ATI card is the issue that is causing the Kernel Panic (Flashing Caps Lock Key). I have reloaded a couple times, and have decided it's not SMBFS (CIFS), or any other things. As long as I don't update that restricted driver it seems to be just fine. Sound works well too. Wireless does seem to be slow but only for UBUNTU stuff/updates? I can assume it's due to demand, etc.. As I did a quick Torrent download and it seems to be going at close to normal speed.

    So for now it is working, and I am happy...

    Re: Ubuntu 9.10 freezes after 10-20 mins.

    i'm also having freeze problems on my Dell Latitude 620with core 2 duo t5600, 2 gb ram, intel graphics, broadcom network, intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG wifi

    IT hits randomly, everything freezes, can't move mouse etc. have to do hard reset. I have tried both ubuntu 9.10 and kubuntu 9.10. same thing as to freezes

    When it stops responding, there are small blue lines on the screen, like the contours of a window about to be opened or moved.

    regards

    Re: Ubuntu 9.10 freezes after 10-20 mins.

    I am having the same problem and can provide a bit more detail. My laptop is a pretty old one - Toshiba A45 S151, P4 2.8GHz, 1GB ram etc.

    I was running kubuntu since 8.10 and then gradually upgraded to 9.04 - up to that point everything was fine. When I went to 9.10 I started getting freezes at random times - like most people said on this thread usually 10-20 minutes after booting on average... but it could be 2 minutes after booting as well sometimes.

    After this, I decided to dump the whole kubuntu 9.04 system and downloaded and installed ubuntu 9.10 hoping that it might have been something I had set up over the last 6 months or so or something specific to 9.10 kubuntu distro. At first I went 20-30 minutes without a freeze so thought it got fixed but it didn't turn out to be the case. Sure enough I got another freeze. And then another one.. etc...

    The freezes seem to be just X crashing as mouse still moves, hard disk seems to have activity and I think everything else seems to work in the background. Sometimes if I am playing something on VLC, the picture freezes but the sound of the vid keeps playing.

    HELP!
