Please also attach your dmesg output. What exactly do you mean by freeze for 2 minutes? The mouse stops moving? The whole computer freezes up? Does everything go back to normal after the freeze? Thank you for your reply. Yes, mouse stops moving, I cannot change to TTY, HDD LED is turned on all this time, so I am assuming it is either reading or writing to hard drive. After that, everything works fine. I will upload dmesg after freeze.(In reply to Alex Deucher from comment #1) > Please also attach your dmesg output.

Does your system do a filesystem index at some regular interval or something like that? It sounds like it may be un-related to the graphics driver.

It sounds like it may be un-related to the graphics driver. (Sorry, had some trouble logging in) I honestly do not know, but I don't think that is the case. As I wrote, there are no such problems with proprietary drivers. Also, it managed to freeze 3x now, but only for about 10-20 seconds and dmesg is empty - last log is from two hours ago. I believe it happens more often when I am watching video, but also happens otherwise. So I am going to wait for dmesg to show anything before uploading. Created attachment 111776 [details]
dmesg
Happened 2 times now, this is in dmesg.
However, there is no driver mentioned. I will try to get another graphic card for testing.

dmesg 2
It really doesn't look or sound directly related to the graphics drivers. You should report this against the Ubuntu kernel package you're using. I see, will do so then. Thank you for your help and sorry to bother you. |

Created attachment 111771 [details] Xorg log Hi. I have Radeon HD5450 graphic card and I use radeon (open) driver. Every 30 minutes or so, my desktop would freeze for aproximately 2 minutes. I cannot find anything in logs so I am uploading them here. Before installing new OS (read below) I installed proprietary driver (fglrx), which did not have this problems (but had horrible leak which ate all my RAM). I tried installing fglrx again now, but it ends up with no image at all, so I gave up. Maybe unrelated, but I cannot see splash screen when booting, screen comes back when login appears. I tried enabling/disabling power management, no luck. Specs: CPU: AMD Athlon X4 740x 3.2GHZ Graphic card: MSI R5450 (ATI Radeon HD5450) OS: Ubuntu Gnome 14.10 (Utopic), previously Ubuntu 14.04.1 with Gnome desktop (same behaviour) Gnome shell version is 3.12 Kernel: 3.16.0-28-generic Driver: xserver-xorg-video-radeon 7.5.99 (this is happening in every version I tried so far).
