General :: XORG Freezes Machine In Firefox Right After Boot

Mar 29, 2010

I'm running Ubuntu Intrepid on a Dell laptop. I turn it off at night.Every morning when I turn it back on and open Firefox, I have to wait while the machine is busy/freezes for maybe a minute. This usually happens twice, but sometimes three times. The processor light is on solid when it does this.I've run TOP from the terminal, and it says it's XORG that's running.

This only happens when Firefox is running, and when I first turn on the laptop after it being turned off for a while. Every morning, when I first run Firefox, XORG takes control of the laptop. Not a big deal, but frustrating and worrisome.

General :: Connect To Virtual KVM Machine/VNC From Xorg?

Aug 24, 2010

I have a main Ubuntu system and a virtual Windows system, set up using QEMU/KVM. So, I can start Windows using virt-manager and connect to it using a VNC client.But what I really want to have is a new Xorg display that is connected to this Windows system, so that e.g. CTRL-ALT-F8 shows Ubuntu, CTRL-ALT-F9 shows Windows. That'd be a real alternative to a Linux/Windows dual-boot setup.

I know that GDM had some option to connect to another X server (XDMCP), but I couldn't get this to work with GDM2/Ubuntu 10.4. Would this somehow also work to connect to a VNC server (like the virtual Windows system)? how to make Xorg provide a display for incoming VNC connections, but nothing on how to do the opposite.

General :: Firefox Freezes For About 10 Seconds At Startup?

Sep 7, 2011

Every time I launch Firefox and go visiting some websites, I notice it freezes for about 10 seconds. Not always in the same websites, but it always happens sometime in the first 2 or 3 minutes of running. I can see the hard disk led is ON all the time the browser is hung.

My operating system is Linux and I don't currently have any extension/plugin installed here.

I have no form completion, no history and have no more than 20-30 bookmarks.

Has somebody noticed something similar, or know how can I debug this to find out what Firefox is doing or trying to do?

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrade To 10.10 Freezes - Xorg

Dec 10, 2010

Today I decided to do the upgrade from 10.4 to 10.10. Unfortunately the upgrade has frozen for the last few hours (after it has completed ~60% of job)... The problem is with xorg, when I log through ssh to the computer I see the xorg process takes 30%. what I could try not to 'smash' the OS... I am not an expert. During the upgrade I have experienced only 1 error with no space left on the device (it exceeded the estimations) but I have freed additional 2GB and it continued for some time.

Hardware :: Xorg Freezes On My System / Solve This?

Oct 25, 2009

Not sure why I get the same result between (amd64) debian, kubuntu, xubuntu, but the screen will pixelate once the desktop is fully loaded, sometimes when an app window opens like konsole/terminal.

I've tried various combinations, with & without the GeForce PCIx, even the live CDs freeze. Please trust me when I say I exhaust searching for what's already been asked/posted/resolved before posting, yes even Google, I'm at a loss... It freezes like a kernel panic because Ctrl+Alt+F1 doesn't do jack, nor Ctrl+Alt+BkSp, would dmesg have logged anything useful?

A brief hardware list code...

OpenSUSE :: 11.4 Freezes Randomly - Xorg Occupies 100 Percent CPU

Apr 12, 2011

My pc freezes when firefox is running not only to open a new tab but also to browse some pictures and flash video. The screen freezes, no Keyboard response. Only mouse pointer can be moved but it cannot execute any program. That means I can see the mouse pointer moves but it cannot click on any icon. I have to ssh from my laptop to my PC and kill firefox process but can't get any improvement. The screen is still freezing. Then I have no choice but to use root right to restart the pc. This system freezing has happens many times since the PC system was updated from openSUSE 11.3 to 11.4 one month ago.

It's really random and I don't know when it will happen next time. But when it happens then I have no choice but to restart computer again. I notice that every time when PC freezes, the Xorg occupies 100% cpu resource and as long as keeping this status. Even when the PC dose not freeze, I feel the mouse point does not moves so smoothly. It could stop for a very very short time in its moving. I did not find this moving problem when I was using openSUSE 11.3. I guess it may caused by the video card driver which may not installed appropriately on my openSUSE 11.4.

Using "lspci |grep VGA" I get the following video card information:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] (rev a2)

Ubuntu :: Gnome / XORG Freezes When Closing Laptop Lid

May 17, 2011

Gnome (or XORG, I'm not sure which name to give it) freezes up not always, but about once every 24 hours after I close the laptop's cover/lid. I know this happens when I close the lid rather than open it judging by the time the clock is locked at. The cursor will move around on the screen, but noting will react to it in any way. Other services such as FTP and Samba still work just fine when the computer is "locked down". Without more details to why the problem is occurring, I have no idea what to search for or where to get started solving the problem. I have attached the XORG logs (found in var/log) in case they are of any use.

OpenSUSE :: PC Freezes When Add Virtual Flag Is Added To Xorg.conf

Dec 19, 2010

I have an nVidia radeon x1300 series running on my suse 64 bit system. The problem is when I try to enable dual head it tells me that I dont have enough virtual memory so when I add the: Virtual 3840 1200 under the screen section it works for a couple of minutes and then bom! it freezes up no mouse no keyboard response and the screen gets all distorted. whats odd is that I can still ssh to the system. The following is my current xorg.conf without the Virtual flag.

Code:

# /.../
# SaX generated X11 config file

General :: Ubuntu 11.04 Freezes During Boot Up?

May 13, 2011

I upgraded from Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04. I worked out all the screen changes etc it hasn't missed a beat until now after a week of usage it freezes during bootup it gets as far as the introductory melody then freezes. It sounds as if it goes into a loop during playing the tune. I'm involved in an anti-malaria project if I can't solve this I've lost research data which will take time to recalculate. If all else fails Ill go back to 10.10. I'm using a different computer for this post driven by Vista

General :: Zenwalk Freezes On Boot

I have just installed Zenwalk linux. My only problem (so far) is that now that it is installed it won't boot. After selecting the Zenwalk linux option in lilo, it says

Code:

After that it loads up the boot screen and hangs. Is there a command that I can add to the boot line to try to make it so that I can see any errors?

General :: X Server - Ubuntu Freezes During Boot

May 31, 2011

I was trying to restart the X server with sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart, and doing so brought me to a black screen with some messages I don't remember, and left me hanging like that. So I had to do a hard reboot. So now when booting I get to the ubuntu logo on the purple background and it just hangs like that. Doesn't accept keyboard input, I can't alt+d or ctrl+alt+f2. I edited the ubuntu line in the grub menu and removed quiet but that didn't do anything. How do I diagnose this?

OpenSUSE :: 11.4 Freezes When Running KVM Virtual Machine

Apr 8, 2011

I have 3 boxes running opensuse-11.4 64 bit - Phenom-I 2.6 GHz, Intel Q9400 quad core 2.66 GHz and Intel SU7300 dual core 1.3 GHz (the last one is a laptop). When I run a KVM virtual machine and load it quite a lot all host OS freeze. Interestingly, the laptop works the longest (hours), while the fastest system with Q9400 freezes in max. 10 minutes. After a hard reboot there is nothing in /var/log/messages This bug is 100% reproducible. The guest OS is either RHEL or openSUSE. Is it a 11.4 bug or I am missing something? Have not tried the same hardware with RHEL-6.

General :: Grub Boot Loader Installation In Dual Boot Machine After Windows 7 Installation?

Mar 23, 2010

I had a dual boot machine with fedora 12 and windows vista and I could use grub boot-loader to switch between two. Few days ago windows got corrupt and I have to reinstall it. I put windows 7 now and as usual it erased grub. So to reinstall I put the fedora 12 installation CD on and followed some usual setup steps. When I got the command line I issued the command "grub-install /dev/sda" (sda not hda because It showed bunch of sda, sda1..) but surprisingly it said grub command not found. I remember doing it before while it worked fine.

General :: Cannot Boot Window Virtual Machine On OSX

Feb 4, 2010

In order to get the work done I use a Macintosh Macbook Pro (4,1) with a Boot camp partition running Windows 7.This allows me to use my favorite OS (OSX) with my required work environment (Win7 & .Net) when ever I need them.To allow me smooth usage I use Parallels 5 to virtually boot my Win7 machine from within OSX but whenever I want to do some heavy lifting I reboot into Windows 7 (on boot camp) which allows me to use my laptop's entire resources for my work.

My problem is this: I am now about to begin work for a company in Tel Aviv which uses Linux desktops for development and I need to follow suit. So I've given my self a new Quest: Set up the ultimate web development platform. My goal is this-

1. Install the three operating systems one along side the other - OSX, Ubuntu & Windows 7.

2. Set each one of them up in such a way that allows me to boot into it (meaning I can have any one of these OSs running on its own when I want.

3. Use parallels to virtually boot my Win7 partition - this allows me to keep using Office 2007, which I use often.

4. optional! Use parallels to virtually boot the Ubuntu OS also.

I have managed to complete goal 1 & 2.But I simply can't get 3...In theory it isn't a problem to install windows & OSX along side each other and virtually boot the windows under OSX using parallel's bootcamp virtualizer- BUT - the moment I install Linux along side the other two it break's parallel's virtualizer and it can't boot. I think it is due to parallel's in ability to use GRUB but I'm not actually sure about that.

I am considering compromising and going for a system like this:

1. Install OSX and Ubuntu on the laptop - which means I can boot into each of them.

2. Create a virtual machine for Win7 using parallels.

But that will be a real compromise as far as I'm concerned and I hope to find a way to set up the machine as I described earlier (three OSs which can be booted independently and also loaded in VMs).Just to make sure I'm clear - I HAVE MANAGED to install three independent OSs on the same machine - but that always prevents me from booting them as VMs using parallels...

Fedora :: Firefox 4 Freezes On 15/Gnome 3?

Jun 16, 2011

Firefox 4 becomes completely unresponsive for about 5 seconds. It seems to be happening mostly but not exclusively when switching tabs. At first I thought the problem was flash related but I was wrong, it happens regardless of the pages contents. Also, the problem seems to be more frequent as more tabs are open.It's interesting that it happens only on my computer at work (Intel Q33) but not at home (NVidia GTX 570). Both computers run Fedora 15 with Gnome 3 (HW accelerated). I also tried starting in fallback mode but the problem remained.

General :: Uninstall Mint 9 From Dual Boot Machine?

Jun 28, 2010

Recently, my Mint update informed me it had an upgraded kernel version of Mint 9 and asked did I want to upgrade. Me, not being an old hand at things Linux, upgraded. Instead of overwriting the older version, it put the upgraded version of Mint 9 BESIDE the older one. So now I have, actually, 4 versions of Mint 9 on my PC,(generic plus recovery mode for each) which is dual booted with Vista Home Premium.

I don't want this. I have had weird problems and hiccups since I upgraded. I want to get rid of the newer kernel version and use only the older one. How do I uninstall the upgraded version of Mint 9? I have tried to boot into the older version, but there is no desktop and I have to type on the boot screen and in the terminal. It wants commands I don't know how to give. How do I restore my older version of Mint 9?

I just want one version on my PC in the dual boot with Windows Vista. Can someone tell me how to accomplish this? If you give me terminal commands, please make sure they are copy and paste ready. lol.

If uninstalling involves deleting partitions and doing a manual partitioning and formatting, I'll need easy instructions for that also.
