Bug Description

Clean install of Desktop AMD64 10.04 (this is the 6th install in a row)

Almost appears like the bugs regarding:
* NoScript in Firefox
* Mem leak caused by increased network traffic/windows effects
* Mouse and Keyboard errors that freeze the machines

I have tried all of the above solutions @ once, I have also installed fresh systems and tried each of the "patches" (including PPA patches) individually on fresh installs and it seemed to always happen, crash and screen freeze, within 10min of booting the machine.

On this install I ran for nearly 48hrs without a crash, and all I had done was swap my mouse and keyboard, turn off window effects (set to none) and not installed "noscript" plugin.

When the crash happened I have 2 instances of firefox windows open, empathy and broadcast running and actively in use. I am however currently running them all again now, have also added a few more windows, more tabs and a torrent client in an effort to "overload and reproduce" the situation again, while typing here. I have no freeze.

I hope this isnt too much info and it helps in some way.

Thanks, Rich

This is my bug. I backed the machine back down to 9.10 thinking it would solve the issue and it appears not to be the case.

Random freeze, screen hash and nothing but a reboot will fix. It seems, from reading that this is a constant problem?

Richard Waters, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
