[07:35] <thomas_> hi there, 302.17 broke my external monitors connected via docking station and display port. i didn't find anything in the bug reports, is that a known problem?
[21:06] <deffrag> Hello! I've been noticing abnormal behavior in Ubuntu 12.04. My system's GUI and keyboard suddenly freezes but it doesn't freezes movement of mouse, audio playback and ssh access. I cannot click on anything, change to tty0-6, caps lock on/off gives no indication. I'm not able to understand this type of behavior. Can anyone help me identify the problems and fix them please?
[21:37] <JanC> deffrag: did you try what they said in bug #1015015 ?
[21:37] <deffrag> JanC: Uh-huh. Yes, I'm trying it
[21:38] <JanC> actually, I think there was an X update today, not sure it was related
[21:47] <deffrag> JanC: I'm connected to the problem system via ssh and having difficulty using command line to try what's suggested in the comments. Could you help me enable the -proposed repository, and install the kernel found there from command-line?
[21:48] <JanC> the GUI doesn't work when you reboot it?
[21:49] <deffrag> Well, I can reboot but using hard reset I don't want to stop one of my important tasks which is still running as per top.
[21:50] <JanC> well, to use the new X you would have to restart the session anyway...
[21:51] <deffrag> Then I think I'll have to wait
[21:51] <JanC> it's a GUI task still running?
[21:52] <deffrag> Yes, as per top but nothing on display
[21:52] <deffrag> Its also assigned to upload some data, which I can see the system is doing from the router stats
[21:52] <JanC> I hope it saves the results automatically  ;)
[21:52] <deffrag> Yes, me too:)
[21:53] <JanC> waiting for it to end and then remembering you need to click te save button would suck  :P
[21:54] <deffrag> Yes, but in this case it will most likely save the work
