Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
Sometimes, usually once-twice a day, my Ubuntu freezes.
Everything seems blocked: keyboard, mouse, screen.
Ctrl+Alt+Fx does not work, so I can't open another terminal.
The only key that is recognized is AltGr+SysReq+B, which reboots my machine.
Apparently, the bug appears independently on the application I am using.
Other possibly useful informations:
on my machine (a laptop Acer Aspire 5612) there is Ubuntu 9.10 installed. I have installe KDE, too, using kubuntu-desktop. I have (more or less) always the following programs opened: Firefox, Thunderbird, Kile, Nautilus, Gnome-terminal, Skype. The graphic card is:
[CODE]
$ lspci|grep -i vga
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[/CODE]
The real problem is that I cannot imagine whose package is the fault!
This bug seems related with https:/
ubuntu-bug seems not to work here, so that I can't attach its output (to be precise, the lauchpad site fails, and tells me: Ooops! Something just went wrong in Lauchpad.)

Does AltGr+SysReq+R work and let you switch to tty2
Do you have another machine from which you would be able to ssh in after the crash (if it's not a kernel panic, e.g flashing numlock)? If you setup sshd and ssh in next time it crashes you may be able to get better linfo, maybe even find the cause using top,dmesg | tail
Have you looked through /var/log/syslog (ksystemlog makes this easier) any hints? (attaching syslog may help others find that hint)
dpkg -l kdebase-bin xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core xserver- xorg-video- i128 && uname -mr
will pop out some useful version info
