Hi there,
I am running Ubuntu 11.10 with Gnome 3. Quite often (several times a day) when using Gnome 3, my computer will lock up and become unresponsive, requiring a reboot.
This happens quite randomly, but is most likely to happen when internet browising: especially with opening a recently downloaded PDF. But will happen at other times as well. This doesn't happen when I use a Unity session: so i suspect the cause lies with Gnome 3.
I read somewhere else that by installing Pixmap: the problem can be fixed. I did this, which appeared to work for a while - but the problem has now returned.
I would like to get to the root cause of the problem. But I am not sure which log files to look at and monitor. Also, is there a way to open the terminal to see what errors Gnome3 is writing to StdOut?
If anyone has a similar problem and has found a solution, then I am all ears!
