THE PROBLEM : gnome 3 freeze sometimes, the PC is freeze (the mouse doesn't move when i move the mouse. I must power down my PC for re-activate it. I want to shift to gnome 2 (i think gnome3 is excellent but it don't work) but it seems to be impossible. What i can do ? Does-it exist some combinaisons (like ctl+alt+suppr on windows) for keep the control ?
Toshiba Tecra M4 (old, I know) Ubuntu 10.10, without any updates (computer won't stay usable long enough to download them) new large hard drive, previously empty It doesn't even stay active long enough for me to change the video settings. I'm still a bit of a n00b,
I have a big problem with my openSUSE 11.2 32bit (but I have experimented the same error with other distributions), this problem consist in a temporarily freeze of my system after some seconds or some minutes if I don't move the mouse or I don't press any key... but when I move the mouse or press any key the system magically wake up and each applications begins to run from the point where was interrupted... this problem also affect on the system clock that loses every second that the system remain frozenMy computer is a notebook with: CPU Intel Core2 Duo T81004GB RAMGPU GeForce 8600M GT
I downloaded the Fedora 11 KDE livecd, installed it, and after the reboot when I get to that "firstboot" screen, I can't move the mouse, the keyboard doesn't work, I have to hold down the power button to turn off the computer.
1) Any process (including boot, shutdown, download, open programs, etc) is freeze (don't have any progress) until I move the mouse or hit any button, so for install and use my ubuntu I have to keep moving my mouse and as you imagine is VERY TIRED.2) I get some general freeze on random times, neither the mouse, keyboard or process move, I notice that if I unplug power it unfreze, and I can work for some time.This 2 problems annoy me a lot, and I suspect is a problem related to my Netbook Model, I read about someone that has the same problem but no solution there.
This is what I did:I Try Ubuntu loading from my USB memory (1GB), run very good but with the 2 problems, but I thought it can be resolved installing.I installed along side with W7, couldn't boot Ubuntu, so I configured GRUB2 and it could enter now, but if I don't press **** after selecting Ubuntu it give me the BusyBox, and then the same 2 problems.I get rid of my W7 and did a Full Install on my 160GB HDD, hoping it can work fine, but no.I install all updates and no effect on that.
Today I downloaded the last debian iso, i booted it from cd, and at first i tried the graphical install but the mouse was stuck in the middle of the screen, although the left click was working... So i started the normal install (with just text), while installing it said me that i needed a firmware "not free", installable by a usb o cd, it was something like "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.bin", so i skipped this step. Then when i had to configure the network, i typed my network's essid and the password, but it said that the essid was incorrect, so i skipped also this step... at the end i have debian installed without GUI...
I Installed Debian 6.0 RC1 in virtualbox on my PC and the installation went fine but when I boot into Debian, the mouse pointer doesn't move although the left and right mouse buttons seem to work.
I'm running on an ASRock 890GX Extreme 3 Mobo with virtualbox running in Windows 7. Virtualbox has no problems with the mouse with other distros I've tried. Is it to do with the proprietary-free kernel being used? If so how do I install the regular kernel?
I'm using a USB Wireless Mouse (Debian 5.07 works fine in Virtualbox), cannot try a PS/2 type mouse (or USB to PS/2 adaptor) as Mobo doesn't have a PS/2 Mouse socket, only one for keyboard
I'm not sure what to call the semi-transparent sidebar with a random collection of unconfigurable icons, but I don't think it's working properly.
1. When I move my mouse to the left edge of the screen, it doesn't always appear. Sometimes I have to move my mouse back and forth, back and forth, several times.
2. What it's doing right now is even worse... it appears, but as soon as I move the mouse a *little* bit to the right to actually click an icon, it disappears.
What is causing this? Surely it's a bug? How do I make the sidebar the absolute top priority for the screen edge so that it always catches it and appears? how do I configure it? I can't right-click on the sidebar itself. I can right-click and remove some icons. Other icons, like the grayed-out (but still active) "recent files" thing cannot be removed.
I am conidering installing Fedora 13, but a while ago, I don't remember if it was F12 or F12 rawhide, but I was having problems with 3d stuff. Whenever I would try to run a 3d program, Everything except the mouse would freeze and become unresponseive, so i reverted to F11. I read somewhere it was because of my GPU. Its an ATI Radeon X600. Has anyone had any trouble with this in F13?
I'm just starting out using linux and so I installed Ubuntu to a hard disk. I noticed that after 30 minutes or so, the mouse pointer would simply stop moving while the keyboard was o.k. Exact same problem with Fedora as well. (The mouse works fine in Vista (it's a MS Comfort mouse 1000)) I searched and found a suggestion that I should disable the sleep settings, so I did that but no luck.
Interestingly, there is no freezing of the mouse when I use the Ubuntu Live CD - it's only the hard-disk-installed Ubuntu that's having the problem. Update Found some old links from 2009 that say I should remove the "mouseemu" package. How to remove that package? Update Unfortunately, that did not help - there is no mouseemu pkg installed. I tried setting kernel boot options noapic, irqpoll etc. - no luck. This is so annoying.
I just finished installing Fedora 11 on a Dell Inspiron 6000. After some tinkering, I was able to get the Broadcom 4318 wireless card to start working. After a restart, I booted into Fedora and attempted to connect to my wireless network.Five seconds later Fedora freezes. I cannot move the mouse, execute any commands (except hold the power button down), or access any log files. The only confirmation I get is that my router does receive a signal from the wireless card, shortly before dying.
I just updated to kernel 2.6.35.13-91.fc14.x86_64, and I'm now having a weird issue where my computer will hang during startup and shutdown unless I move the mouse around.
While moving the mouse, it will boot up or shut down normally. Once i stop moving the mouse around it will hang (until I begin to move the mouse again).Once fully booted it acts fine..
i'm using Fedora 12, 32 bit, kernel 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.PAE while using add-remove program to install programs, my desktop frezes, the keyboard becomes unusable, can't do anything so i have to do a hard boot.
I just reinstalled, and now my panels are on the wrong screen. There is nothing on the right-click menu and they can't be dragged and dropped. How the **** do you move the panels to a different screen?
This seems like it should be simple to do. I have a fresh F13 install running Gnome, and the gnome panel is on the left-hand side of the monitor. I want it on the righthand side. So far I have been unable to achieve this. I can't drag the panel (even with ALT held down), and if I try to set orientation to "Right" it changes back the "Left" again

Alright, on my last Linux installation I know I did not get graphics lag this bad.
So I go to move a window around, Nautilus, Firefox, a Terminal, and when I move it it takes a second to reach the location and refresh on my screen, and if I move my mouse within that time period then it will move the window somewhere I did not want it.
I disabled Smooth Scrolling in Preferences => Advanced => General for Firefox but I do not think it helped. It takes ages to scroll to where I want it and by the time it gets there it keeps going because I scrolled too many times. I receive scrolling lag on seemly any document of text, this includes gedit as well.
I'm working on finding out what graphics card I have so I can see if it has Linux drivers. I know it is an ATI, but I have no idea how to get its name using Linux commands.
I would like to remove OR move down the "create folder, launcher etc" so the first button can be Open Terminal. I have used both NACT and nautilus-actions to get the Open Terminal on the menu - but I would like it to be on the top (old habit).
just want to report "Right Mouse Click Freeze" on Ubuntu 10.10. When I click on anything with my right mouse button to open options menu it freezes and does not open menu. Sometimes when I shake my mouse left/right a bit it opens that menu, but this does not work always. It seems like xserver issue, but I'm not sure since I'm not expert in linux yet. It's very annoying issue that I would like to resolve asap.

The mouse, and keyboard, freezes at random times? When I search the discussion boards for a solution to this problem, it is overwhelming to see how many others are having the same difficulty, yet I haven't come across specific solution(s) to the problem. (One posting has over 180 pages of comments!) I am still using Jaunty but would like to move up to 10.04, which I have installed on a separate partition. Unfortunately, that partition can't be used by my family because it freezes at random times! Naturally, I am unable to get any more updates with Jaunty. (I never had problem with Jaunty freezing.) Incidentally, I tried Linux Mint, which was a adaptation of Ubuntu 10.04 and had the same problem.
I received a laptop that was running XP home that had crashed. MY son was not able to determine if it was hardware or software. So He installed Linux Ubuntu 9.10 Gnome desktop 2.28.1. Often I have to reboot because freezes. Once I get online, the mouse freezes I have tried an external mouse, it does the same. The Laptop model is a Sony model PCG- 6F1L.
I have a 5 button mouse and the 4th and 5th buttons are useful for skipping back or forwards while surfing with Firefox. It would be nice if I could skip back in Nautilus too, but it doesn't work. (Alt+LeftArrow & Alt+RightArrow as keybord equivalent) Is there a possibility to use this buttons in Nautilus too?
I have installed fedora ver 10 on my PC. The issue is that my mouse does not work once i login, it hardly works for 5-10 mins and then does not respond, however system does not get hung. I am using USB optical mouse. Please help me in fixing the issue.
I've upgraded my ubuntu from 9.04 -> 9.10. But after reboot, my mouse & keyboard become freeze. I did some search and found some advice about mannauly configure /etc/X11/xorg.conf but unsuccess.
Here are some log

I am running Ubuntu 10.04, randomly while working in gnome with no particular application I get a freeze periodically. Neither the mouse or the keyboard will respond. I am running it on a lenovo Z61m laptop. I have had previous experience with Posix systems but I am a recent migrant from XP as my primary operating system. I never had such an issue with this computer which leads me to believe that it is not a hardware issue.
