Anyone with freezing problems with Kubuntu 11.04 upgrade to KDE 4.6.3? If so, any changes?
Keith Lee
I actually have experienced this freeze-up a few times, but I usually just wait it out. I'm certain that a fix will come out as long as the bug continues to be reported.
(Regular) Linux User Since September 1, 2010 (First played around with Linux in 2004)
Kubuntu 12.04 (64-bit), Dual Boot w/Windows Vista
KDE 4.8.4a, HP Pavilion dv9623gl, AMD Turion64 x2
nVidia GeForce Go 7150M, 2 GB RAM
the only freezing I noticed was when I turned 'blur' for desktop effects on, though that is probably because of my cruddy RAM card. Just my two cents

11.04 is also freezing up, actually locking up, on me. I'm going to revert back to 10.10. I also use gentoo, and noticed my system started locking up when I switched to the various 2.6.38.x kernels. I switched back to 2.6.37.x kernel and everything works fine now. Once the 2.6.39.x becomes available, where x>0, I'll give it a try. Just my observations.
Windows no longer obstructs my view.

My laptop completely froze on my ubuntu Natty, Kubuntu worked fine because I hadn't installed the ATI driver, or so I thought was the problem. Then Kubuntu started hang on load up/after login. I was 99% sure it was graphics driver but I was mistaken. I came across this blog with "our own" Bigbrovar, swithing from the open wifi driver to the propriety solved it for me, using CLI with nano instead of a LiveCD though.
This is a really nasty problem since it looks and feels like a display bug, it's really hard to figure it out, I un & re-installed the prop ATI* driver several times
Even if it may not be OP's problem, seems likely that there's someone here with the same issue. All cred to Bigbrovar, thanks mate

I am on an ati card with catalyst driver and I am using natty as my main system since beta2 and everything is working great. No crashes and freezes at all.
I can agree with that. The system I had issue with until going to 4.6.3 is the Desktop with a NVidia card. The laptop, which has an ATI display had no such issues. The laptop actually has been great! The desktop is now though so, for me anyway, all was solved.
I did a little more testing. I am using an nvidia card(9800gt) and the amd64 version of 11.04. I turned off Desktop Effects in System Settings, and I'm no longer getting os lockups. I've been running over 24hrs with no problems. Hope this helps.
Problems with nvidia driver should be fixed in 275.xx version:
"Hello,
I escalated this problem to the Linux Engineering Manager. An Engineer has been assigned to work on this at high priority. We are targeting the fix for the upcoming 275.xx driver which is currently planned to ship in early June 2011."
