Natty loves to freeze itself

  • 772

I just upgraded my Maverick to Natty 3 days ago. It's fun and good. I try to be familiar with Unity, but the Natty constantly freezes suddenly. I try another alternative, I use Ubuntu Classic instead of Unity, and at the end my computer continues freezing suddenly and it made me really angry, I can't do anything except of force my computer to shut down through the power button. My laptop is Compaq CQ20 windows & 32bit

    Add this to your repositories.

         deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu natty main #xorg-edgers PPA                  
    deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates natty main #xorg-edgers PPA

    or in the terminal:

         sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates

    or Open the Software Sources menu by going to Applications->Ubuntu Software Center, then selecting Edit->Software Sources. Choose the Other Software tab and click Add.

         ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates

    and then

         sudo apt-get update

    see if it helps.

  2. Besides Uri answer try this too: enable proposed updates in Software Sources, and update your system to 2.6.38-9 kernel. Maybe this helps.

  3. I have an HP MINI 210 and it freezes like yours, my issue? the wireless card!

    the solution: blacklisting the following drivers:

    blacklist rt2800pci
blacklist rt2800lib
blacklist rt2x00usb
blacklist rt2x00pci
blacklist rt2x00lib

    (this should be appended to the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf)

    then restart and it should be working if this is your issue!

    if this doesn't work, don't forget to remove those lines from the file.

    good luck!
