Hi,
I upgraded to 13.04 a few days ago and everything has been running fine, but I ran some recommended updates yesterday and now my netbook keeps freezing.
It always seems to freeze when I'm typing, but I can't say if that is the trigger or if it's just coincidence that it does it then. There doesn't seem to be any particular time frame on when it freezes and I can leave it for over an hour when it happens and it doesn't recover so I have to just power off.
I checked in the log files to see what was installed but I'm not proficient enough with linux to know whether I'm checking in the right place or how to revert any updates to see what's causing the problem.
I went to /var/log/apt/history.log and the contents look about right for what was installed;

End-Date: 2013-06-03 07:11:31
Assuming that I'm in the right place to know what was installed, how do I go about removing these in some sort of structured order to see which one is cauising the freezing?
I'm not sure if any of the packages are dependent on each other and if I remove just one, I might break things further.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Richard
