Comment 35 for bug 446164

I am having some serious problems with the released Karmic. Every day for the last week my system freezes when I click on the X on the top right of the window to exit either firefox, eclipse or google picasa. This happens several times a day. It does not happen every time I click to exit. I have just run checkbox but it reports my system as healthy. Also I have checked the SMART data for my WD passport USB disk in the system disk utility and no errors are reported there. I don't think it is hardware related because the EEE PC lcd is showing a black screen with a cursor in the top left similar to what is seen while booting while the Samsung LD220G 1920x1080 LCD attached to the VGA port still shows the X windows unchanged. I have ordered a 2GB SODIMM as I have noticed a lot of disk accesses in the performance panel applet when using eclipse and firefox at the same time. I am hoping increasing the ram from 512 to 2000 may fix the freeze also.
