[Bug 337351] Re: kubuntu 9.04 freezes all the time

[Isaac Kriegman]

The clock freezes too so it's not just x failing to ask programs to update .
. . Unless x has to ask the clock to update.  It seems like screen updates
are not being passed through somehow.  One thing to try next time would be
performing the key strokes to open a terminal and reboot the system . . .
Although the sleep button does not work, so probably this won't work
either.  So it seems like x is freezing both input and output somehow . . .
But not the cursor . . . I find this very strange (and very frustrating--it
makes my computer unusable when it is freezing every few minutes).

I liked your idea of trying SSH, I didn't think of that myself.
Its nice to know the computer isn't completly dead just the user interface /
display updating is messed up.
Not that I know much about how X works but I'm guessing there are events
which are sent to each window telling it to update and those event signals
are not being sent anymore, hence they don't update when your mouse hovers
over them etc. As the mouse still works and X isn't using 100% CPU then it
appears there is something stopping the update event signals but that could
be many things... :(
Never the less, we've clearly identified a critical problem which seems to
be KDE related that is breaking X. As I've not seen this issue on Ubunutu
9.04 then I'de say its definatly a Kubuntu or KDE problem. I'm trying to
think what would have the power to stop applications from within X from
updating and I can only guess something pretty fundamental is happening, I
doubt its a user space program thats stopping X from asking the applications
to update :/
