Bug Description

I have core 2 duo with nividia. I upgraded from gutsy to hardy manually today and found my system is not working the way it should.

At the begining all menus in my system froze in ~30 seconds after login and I had to restart gdm to get them working again. After menus froze I wasn't able to start any programs anymore exept the ones that were allready running. I had problems with several programs including firefox, gnome-terminal, nautilus.

I tried to change display driver from nvidia to nv, boot with older kernel, remove settings files ~/.nautilus, ~/.gnome2, ~/.gconf, with no help. After I removed tracker menus didn't crash so often (i got 2 frozes in 3 hours) but other problems remained. After firefox was closed and I tried to start it again, it didn't start anymore. I downgraded firefox3-beta to firefox2 and firefox started working.

At this point I found this bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/scim/+bug/66104
I tried to disable scim, but there was not ~/.scim in my system.

Some cases:
1. gnome-terminal freezes if I start it ~30 seconds after login. If I start it before 30 s and keep it running it doesn't crash.
2. When I open nautilus and click back button nautilus freezes and logout is needed to get working.
3. If I try to change gnome-terminal options by right mouse click gnome-terminal freezes
4. If freezing has happened it is impossible to start any program without relogin

I tried to get backtrace from nautilus with help of this link
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace
I tried to get trace while nautilus was allready running but gnome-terminal froze when pid was attached to gdb

Could you attach the contents of your .xsession-errors? I have the same problem as you.

I have disabled scim by removing it and it's settings completely. That didn't have any impact on my freezing system. I would say that this is not scim problem.

I would like to give more info about this problem if I just knew what to look...

This time I got total freeze, where my keyboard didn't work and I had to restart from the power button.

It seems that this bug is similar to this:

I have nvidia with core2duo and 2G memory.
