Thread: Freeze in Ubuntu Gnome 3


------------------problem----------------
gnome 3 freezes, apparently @ random. using ubuntu 11.10 on dell studio.
-cursor moves
-top dash buttons change on mouse clicks without effect. example: top right "activities" button lights underline doesn't open launcher
-windows unresponsive
-keyboard has no effect
-can use [$ killall] on programs, shut down without fixing problem

---------------solutions--------------
solutions work problems
- [$ killall gnome] in tty (ctrl+alt+f1) bring computer login screen. reenter gui: (ctrl+alt+f7)
-all running programs go away

-[$ gnome-shell --display :0 --replace] in tty. fixes freeze, useful , quick. saves running programs. best method have found far.
-the tty can no longer used. complains mounted externals , has other messages. other tty s can used (ctrl+alt+f1 thru f6).

if 1 perfect these methods, appreciated. thank

-[$ gnome-shell --display :0 --replace&disown] in tty. same other tty remains usable.
