Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
I have been having freezing issues, and this latest one is way beyond my amateur ability to mess with. The image on the monitor suddenly messed up, which I believe is what is meant by screen corruption. It looked like what happens when the tower overheats. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit on a MacPro. When I'm using the Mac OS, I have SMC Fan Control to manually set the fan speed to keep things cool under high intensity graphics situations. I am not sure what could have caused the tower to overheat in this case.
Due to a high number of random freezes, I updated Xorg to X11 in the hopes of solving the issue. Unpredictable freezes seemed to stop, but now the computer consistently freezes when the Update Manager pops up in the background. It does not cause a freeze when I open Update manager after restarting, or if I run updates via the terminal.
In all instances, ctr+alt+back did not do anything (and yes, I do have it enabled.) REISUB also didn't work, though I was using an apple keyboard at the time. I had thought that right alt+F13 was the Sysreq key, but maybe that doesn't work.
I don't know if this all is related to one another, but I figured I'd lay it all out in one report, just in case. I've probably forgotten to include something important you need to know. Just tell me what you need and where I have to look to find it, and I'll do my best. I'm still very new to Ubuntu.
