Seems like this is not really an issue of OS, but probably the kernel config itself. Can you please maybe try the following:
Quote:Edit /etc/default/grub and change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT to have the value "atkdb.reset i8042.nomux quiet splash" and then run sudo update-grub and reboot.
Maybe it's related to the specific touchpad/mouse/keyboard you have. Also, Ubuntu 16.4.2 will be released in 3 days and thus the new lts kernel will come down the update channel (I think 4.8). So please try to install that new kernel and also try those options I mentioned, maybe it will help.
Hi rocky, thanks. Later tonight i shall definitely do that edit, update & reboot. Just to stress however, as i did in my reply to leszek, these freezes have not been restricted to any single kernel.
Once i see kernel 4.8 [or whatever], definitely i shall install it.
"Maybe it's related to the specific touchpad/mouse/keyboard you have" ... maybe indeed, but they're merely standard Dell keyboards, & standard Dell/Microsoft optical mice [mouses?].
OK, i assume you noticed my plural; have you climbed back up off the floor? I have been wondering for a while if i should mention this itsy bitsy little detail to you guys as possibly relevant, or not bother as it was irrelevant. Here's the thing. I use a Standing Desk [http://au.varidesk.com/en-au/search/pro-plus-36]; it sits on my standard conventional flat desk, & is collapsible & extendable, so multiple times during the day i vary my posture by sitting or standing. The S/D itself has a tray for supporting k/b & mouse [& monitor], which is intended to be usable whether sitting [collapsed] or standing [extended]. However even when collapsed & i'm sitting, it's [k/b tray] a bit too high for good ergonomics, so i have a second mouse & k/b sitting on another tray, being the conventional desk's original under-desk sliding tray, which i use when sitting. All 4 are simply plugged into Tower's USB ports, & Maui instantly detected & activated them. I have been using this arrangement for a couple of years before last September's original Maui installation, ie, back with Mint 17.x KDE4. Mint never protested as best i recall, so i just carried on the arrangement with Maui.
Am i a naughty woman?
