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).
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.

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.
