hi Ian,<br>
<br>
What is the operating version displayed when using using ctrl+alt+f1
to exit xwindows to tty?<br>
<br>
If it's xenial, you may have been prematurely upgraded to some/all
of the xenial very early alpha test repositories. This is
especially true if you have any of the xubuntu development ppas in
your /etc/apt/sources.list. Check sources.list to make sure that no
xenial apt-get commands are floating around there. Change all
apt-get commands to wily. Comment out developmental ppas and remove
their data from sources.list.d if necessary. When this is done,
upgrade the computer. (Hopefully) the system will correct in favor
of wily. You may need to reinstall a dependency group like
ubuntu-restricted-extras (heck, sudo apt-get update && sudo
apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get
ubuntu-restricted-extras && sudo apt-get autoremove -- get
it all out of the way when you do the initial update/upgrade)<br>

<div>A couple of times per week xubuntu 15.10 hard freezes.
This didn't happen for me with either of the previous
versions of xubuntu (14.10, 14.04) I ran on the same
hardware. In the past when I have had problems with previous
versions of xubuntu I have been able to resolve them by
switching to one of the TTYs and killing/restarting the
offending process or at least poke around and identify the
cause. With these freezes I have been experiencing in 15.10
I can't even switch to a TTY. I was just watching a video
and the computer froze, repeating the sound buffer
endlessly. It reminds me of Windows.<br>
<br>
</div>
Any ideas for debugging/identifying the cause? I don't see
anything in the syslog.<br>
