F16 - daily desktop lock ups

[Dave Causey]

About once a day, usually in the morning, my F16 desktop becomes unresponsive until I switch to the command line console and do a "killall gnome-shell". I had the same issue with F15. When I move the mouse to the upper left corner of the screen, the corner lights up but then nothing else happens. I can still move the mouse, and running applications continue to generate output, but the system does not respond to any mouse actions until gnome-shell is restarted. There doesn't appear to be anything in the logs other than a long history of identical messages from dbus PackageKit and NetworkManager, which is disabled.

Thanks for any ideas.

The timing might be a coincidence, or a side-effect of uptime. What video hardware and drivers are you running on?

I still get fairly regular lock-ups on my GeForce with Nouveau and GNOME Shell (although it's not nearly as bad as it used to be).

My video adapter is ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3600 Series.

Hmmm.

May be related ... maybe not. I'll give you the link, and let you decide.
