Comment 72 for bug 479296

I'm with Sog et al. Random freezes of the GUI, unable to switch to other consoles (via ctrl+alt+Fnx). I'm running Lucid but I believe these freezes only started happening the last 1-2 weeks. Perhaps a recent update? I did not have these freezes at all when the machine was running Karmic.

Last log entries before freeze:
