I've searched, but can't see this anywhere, so apologies if this is repeating another post.
I have recently installed 9.10 as an upgrade. The process ran smoothly, without issue, and the system boots up, again without issue.
However, for no apparent reason, at odd times, when I click a button on screen, the system hangs.
It also happens when I try to mount an external drive.
When it happens, I can't do anything at all. Nothing I try 'un-freezes' it and I am left with having to switch off the PC at the on/off switch and re-start.
I am running a Dell Dimension PC, which has been running Ubuntu quite happily for nearly 2 years. It is a dual-boot with WinXP (SP3)
I recently ran System Updates and ran, what appeared to be, a complete upgrade again!!
Again, this ran smoothly, and I was hoping it would include fixes for this. It was not to be.
Please help, as I am considering reverting back is the only option.
I am extremely frustrated that I don't have a stable solution.
If you need any more information that will help you offer a suggestion, then please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
