New subject: GNOME 3 Freezing

9 Jan 2012


      That may be related, but it's definitely not the nouveau driver in my
case, since I don't use an nVidia GPU. Also, it takes a really long time
for it to finally switch over to terminal. You might try out the key
combo and wait a while to see what happens. Here's my GPU info:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960

Hi Anthony,
I can sympathise, I have similar problems with my netbook. I get the
impression that there is a bug in the nouveau driver which locks up
the part of the drawing hardware and so stalls all output. I can move
the mouse and the pointer moves but nothing else is drawn and the
keyboard input is stopped also (no caps-lock light activity).
Displaying video content seems to provoke the bug but sometimes it
happens anyway. Sometimes you can watch a whole video without it
locking up, maybe it's unrelated.
If you can ctrl-alt-f2 to kill gnome shell then you might find
ctrl-alt-backspace (which restarts the Xserver) might be a shortcut.
I haven't filed bugs because I don't have an easy reproduced situation
or any relevant log output :( If I hoped for a workaround I'd post on
the fedora IRC channel, or fedora-devel mailing list, failing that I'd
probably raise a bug on bugzilla.

How many monitors are you using?
It's probably not this - because you can get at the shell - but I
notice sometimes my lock screen doesn't display the password popup on
a monitor ( or more accurately displays it on a monitor it is not
displaying anything on). When I type my password it unlocks and both
screens then display as normal.
