I recently upgraded AMD64 Ubuntu ver 12.04 LTS to v 13.10 (about 1 week before the 14.04 LTS release) and then noticed that the display would freeze and the only possible way to recover was ALT-F2 and ALT-F7 or Alt-SysReq-REISUB or by hitting the reset button on the computer case. I continued the upgrade to v 14.04 recently, but the problem still reoccurs.
I removed compiz from the machine and also reinstalled gnome and that temporarily fixed the problem, but last night, while trying to run, the screen froze up again. The CLI processes seem to be running normally and only the X-windows portion seems affected, with loss of both keyboard and mouse clicks.
Since I am doing business with this computer, should I:
1) drop back to the 12.04 LTS release, until this problem is satisfactorily resolved? (others have complained about similar screen freezes)
2) only run on the 14.04 server edition?
3) hope that very soon now the correct fix will be discovered for 14.04 LTS ?
The problem acts like a memory leak, but I really cannot do business with this machine reliably until it is fixed and would prefer to have a graphics desktop.
Any ideas?
