Bug Description

The system freezes under a specific but not consistent circumstance.

"System freeze" means: complete lock-up except for mouse movement (only, no response to mouse-button); windows cannot be opened or closed, console cannot be changed (via ctrl-alt-fN), etc.

The specific circumstance (but not consistent, meaning that it doesn't always happen but only happens during) is linking a URL from Thunderbird 12.0 to Firefox 20.0. The link is accessed (via mouse-button click), no tab opens in Firefox, with the system freezing immediately. In other words, the response of the system to linking the URL is the freeze.

Thank you.

This is still an issue for me. It just happened again.

It was impossible to do a smooth restart in any way. I was forced to login from another machine and 'sudo shutdown -r now'. I first tried 'sudo restart lightdm'. This just blacked the screen.

I am requesting help with this bug, please.

I have experienced the same issue. Logging in remotely still works, and will show Xorg at 100% CPU utilization. It seems to be related to the nvidia driver.
