Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
This is my first time reporting a bug on Ubuntu so apologies if I miss anything.
Today my machine locked up while I was away from desk. When I returned the machine was unresponsive to keyboard (internal and external), mouse and or trackpad. The network also appeared to be offline as I couldn't ping it from another machine on my network. The machine didn't appear to be busy - no rapidly flashing lights! It was also unresponsive to a the power button (not in suspend or hibernate). I had to hold the power button down for 3-5 seconds to shut the machine down.
The machine had idled to screensaver (Skyrocket) before I left my desk.
I do not know if power management had put the display to sleep as I was not at the desk, but I was away long enough for this to have occurred (~1 hour).
Yesterday, following it's release, I did a fresh install of Jaunty Jackalope 64bit on my machine. (I had previously been running Intrepid Ibex.)
I also installed the latest driver from Nvidia (x86_64 v180.53) released on the 22 Apr 09. (I had previously been using a beta Nvidia Driverx86_64 v185.13 released on the 13 Mar 09.)
At the time, the following applications were running;
1. QuickSynergy (minimized but connected as a server to one other pc)
2. Firefox (1 instance)
3. Gedit (2 files open)
4. Terminal (idle)
Apart from VMware Server2, the machine runs very little on the host. I had installed a couple of new applications on trial as this was my first build of Jaunty.
My machine specs are as follows;
Dell Precision M6400 (Laptop)
Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9300
16Gb RAM / 2 * 500Gb Sata 7200 (no RAID)
17" RGB LED 1920x1200 driven by Nvidia FX3700M 1Gb
Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope 64Bit (9.04) 2.6.28-11
Nvidia Driver x86_64 v180.53
I had not had this issue previously under Intrepid.
Thank you, I hope this information may be useful somehow.
Regards
David
