Comment 52 for bug 1008197

Hello ,
I wanted to add to the growing list of those reporting this same problem with Mint 14 (OEM Cinnamon release) AMD64.....
It too seems to happen while Firefox and/or LibreOffice is open ....
Today is the first day that I haven't had these lockups ..... (or freezes) .... but I haven't used either one of the mentioned programs .... (with one exception ... this morning I used Firefox quickly to download Opera.... and have used only this browser (Opera) during the day .... quite often off and on today.... at least beyond the time when I would have had experienced a "freeze."

Since there seems to be so many "clues" .... i.e., maybe many different programs are actually causing the "freeze," that one might suspect that the Mint install process (scripts) is/are not working properly for Firefox, LibreOffice, etc. ....

I will try to use the "bad" programs later .... when I can tolerate those painful interruptions .....

If anyone is interested in my simple troubleshooting plan ... I will try to write only my second note then ... or my second post in a forum .... ever .... to give the results later .....

I normally stay in the background ..... but I felt so bad that no one has given any responses since Dec. 13 .... and this has been such a disappointing experience with the new Mint package .....
