Hi all,
I've been running purely off of Ubuntu for about a week now and I must say I'm really enjoying it overall.
However, from the get-go, a regular Ubuntu session would randomly freeze up entirely (requiring me to cut power to the PC in order to reboot).
This happened a few times on the same day that I installed Ubuntu, then didn't happen again for several days. So I assumed it was a fluke.
Now I've messed around with the graphics drivers a bit (although I've ended up undoing everything; drivers & settings should be back to defaults, hopefully), and it seems to have brought the freezing problem back, only worse. Now I cannot even open a Ubuntu session for more than a minute or two before it freezes up.
I CAN run a Xubuntu session just fine... At least, Xubuntu has yet to freeze up on me.
I would prefer, however, to run the regular Ubuntu sessions. I already had gnome all customized & like I wanted it :mad:, don't want to repeat that process for xfce.
Thanks for any help you can provide :)
Ubuntu Version 12.10
