I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 on other machines before and have not experienced this problem.
Occasionally, the system will lock up. They keyboard and mouse stop responding (my keyboard status lights no longer respond, but my optical mouse light is still on). I can ssh to the machine, and it seems to work as normal. I kill processes that are open on my desktop through ssh, (i.e., Firefox), and I notice when I switch back, I still have the same frozen image on my screen.
I have looked at the following files to determine any issues with the GPU:
/sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_error_state
- No errors
/sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_wedged
- State is 0, I'm assuming this is not wedged
/sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_ringbuffer_info
- ***Buffer is not updating
Basic software/hardware specs:
Kernel Linux 2.6.35-25-generic
GNOME 2.32.0
Memory: 2GB
Processor 0/1: Genuine Intel(R) CPU 2140 @ 1.60GHz
Running through the system test quickly doesn't show any red flags. Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening, or suggestions to fix this?
Thanks,
Dan
