Well, you can also do like I did : I went back to a previous version of ubuntu more stable.
As far as I am concerned, my Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS - KDE is very stable, but doesn't provide any Kwin effects neither desktop applets
but it works, and very well besides !!

I'm waiting the 9.10 version to try another time. If it's still useless I'll go back to 8.10.

Objet: [Bug 347848] Re: jaunty freezes suddenly

I have the same problem many of you are having. I simply want to know
what to do next. Do I find another OS until this is fixed... or use
Vista. At least Vista's stable on my machine.

As much as I don't like it, Vista's the only way I can remain half way
productive. My productivity is in the basement when I use my Jaunty. I
can't even open email without fear or a freeze up.

Using Konqueror in place of Firefox seems to reduce my freezeups, but
does NOT eliminate them. Not sure if this is KDE 4 or an Ubuntu issue...

It's to the point I'm telling people to stay away from Ubuntu until
these issues are fixed. I've also noticed magazines and ezines seem to
be saying the same thing. Locks up, or hangs, or freezes.

Any ideas????

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
Linux Ubuntu 2.6.28-11.36-generic

Description:    Ubuntu jaunty (development branch)
Release:        9.04
------------------------------------------------
Well, since I updated my system yesterday, this one started to freeze suddenly
when I try to open applications (like skysentials from skype) or here when I try to attach a file,
by launching a location selector window : it freezes!

Either a blackscreen with a working-like system or a normal screen with working mouse
but without responses to keyboard uses. Neither does Ctrl+Alt+BkSpace (restart xserver) work.

So I have my doubt about the guilty packages ? Linux-image, Qtcore, Pyhton...

Because I have some doubts about qtCore as my freezing occurs often when I'm trying to open applications
or manipulating aplications fonctions.
