[Bug 643822] Re: System freezes unless mouse/keyboard constantly used

[Michael Mulqueen]

I've found a workaround. I did a lot of searching, looking for similar
problems and then tried about 15 different things, 2 worked.

If you use the kernel flag "nolapic_timer", the problem goes away. A
proper solution still needs to be found though. The kernel flag
"nohz=off" also works, but it doesn't seem to play nicely with my
wireless networking.

To do this in the long term:

(Do all of these steps as root)

Open:
/etc/default/grup

Change:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

To:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nolapic_timer"

Run:
update-grub
