My HP 2510p has frozen twice since upgrade to 9.04 - never before

[sebidan]

Since upgrading to 9.04 about a week ago, my machine HP 2510p has started freezing. The mouse pointer still moves, but the machine does not respond at all to keyboard or mouse clicks. This has never happened on any previous versions. I've got a feeling it might be related to Skype.

Graphic card : HD2400 pro( 6xx chip ).

This is not a notebook.

I have the same problem, the upgrade from 8.10 ->9.04 caused the mouse and keyboard to freeze.
I could use both of them a short time 30 secs, then the caps lock key turned off and both the
mouse and keyboard froze.
I was able to move the mouse pointer, but not click on anything.

The freeze seemed to occur when I started to use the desktop.

If I work in the console <ctrl><alt>F1, no freeze.

Seemed like the xorg.conf file was nullified.
X -configure gave me generic file, but the problem remained.
Restarted hal and udev, but the problem ramained.

Logs , can't produce them on that specific machine.

This is what I can find in the logs.

Every time I switch to the gdm , this is shown in /var/log/messages
"Loading RV610 CP Microcode
Loading RV610 PFP Microcode

Happens with a fresh install as well.

Trying to find correct package isn't easy for a newbie.

Hi sebidan,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid.

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 374759

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
