I just started having this problem recently, but it will freeze when I am in the middle of coding and it seems to be happening more frequently.  I do tend to have a ton of tabs open in chrome while I am working, but I don't know where to start in seeing what the problem is here.   When it freezes, the mouse will still move but the screen is totally frozen and I have to do a hard reboot. I have tried hotkeys for terminals and other things, but nothing works

All operating systems freeze sometimes, and Ubuntu is no exception. What should I do to regain control when...   just one program stops responding? nothing at all responds to mouse clicks or key presses? the mouse stops moving entirely? I have an    In what order should I try various solutions before deciding to pull the power plug?  What should I do when starting up Ubuntu fails?  Is there a diagnostic procedure I can follow?

Just today, without me doing any special kind of update or plugin that I am aware of, the Chromium browser closes instantly after startup. When trying to start it in the terminal, I get this message:  Received signal 11 SEGV_MAPERR 000000000010 #0 0x7ff2a0573425 base::debug::StackTrace::StackTrace() #1 0x7ff2a057380b &lt;unknown&gt; #2 0x7ff2a089e390 &lt;unknown&gt; #3 0x56177f66adc8 &lt;unknown&gt; #4 0x56177f66d656 &lt;unknown&gt; #5 0x56177f66ddf9 &lt;unknown&gt; #6 0x56177f66e143 &lt;unknown&gt; #7 0x7ff2a05ee821 &lt;unknown&gt; #8 0x7ff2a0574eea base::debug::TaskAnnotator::RunTask() #9 0x7ff2a059de90 base::MessageLoop::RunTask() #10 0x7ff2a059f97d base::MessageLoop::DeferOrRunPendingTask() #11 0x7ff2a05a083d &lt;unknown&gt; #12 0x7ff2a05a1300 base::MessagePumpLibevent::Run() #13 0x7ff2a059cf15 base::MessageLoop::RunHandler() #14 0x7ff2a05c7628 base::RunLoop::Run() #15 0x7ff2a05f3e36 base::Thread::ThreadMain() #16 0x7ff2a05ee726 &lt;unknown&gt; #17 0x7ff2a08946ba start_thread #18 0x7ff289f433dd clone r8: 000000000000002e  r9: 00005617810c16ec r10: 0000000000000000 r11: 00007ff289fd0f50 r12: 00007ff1f17f6ff0 r13: 0000000000000008 r14: 0000000000000008 r15: 00007ff1f17f6eb0 di: 0000000000000000  si: 00007ff1f17f6eb0  bp: 00007ff1f17f6f00  bx: 00007ff1f17f6eb0 dx: 000000000000005e  ax: 0000000000000000  cx: 0000561782b3af60  sp: 00007ff1f17f6e60 ip: 000056177f66adc8 efl: 0000000000010206 cgf: 0000000000000033 erf: 0000000000000004 trp: 000000000000000e msk: 0000000000000000 cr2: 0000000000000010 [end of stack trace] Calling _exit(1). Core file will not be generated.   It changes slightly each time I try, but it always comes out basically that way, and I have no idea what it is saying.   Tried uninstalling chromium-browser and reinstalling. No change.  So I deleted ~/.config/chromium and re-ran, and the browser didn't crash. Yay! but then I logged into Google, and crashed with the same message shown above. So I started it up again, and didn't log in. So far so good. But as soon as any complicated website is opened, it crashes within a few seconds.   So then I opened Firefox. Since I'm writing this on the browser, it finally seems stable. So I can log into Google on Firefox with no trouble, then why is Chromium crashing on it?  Using Ubuntu 16.04. I've searched around for answers, and there are lots of people who experienced similar problems several years ago, but obviously that's irrelevant now as many versions have changed since.   For the record, I've also tried is to run chromium-browser --password-store=basic with no change. I've also tried downloading the repository using sudo add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-chromium-builds/stage, update, and re-install. No change. Also tried running chromium-browser --disable-gpu. No change.   I would really appreciate an answer as soon as possible, as I am very frustrated having to deal with this.

I was running NotePad and Chrome when my computer suddenly shuts down.  After reboot, chrome was able to "restore" itself such that I didn't lose any data.  However, how do we "restore" notepad.exe?

My trackpad is broken so I can tap-to-click but i cannot drag and drop. This is really a problem when it comes to doing certain things.   Does anyone know how to program a sticky key to turn a click into a click-select that can then be dragged about?   I can't resize my browser or open window and I can't drag applications into the folder when installing etc.  free solutions only please.  A mid 2009 macbook-pro 13". 2.53 Ghz Intel Core 2 Due.   Running os lion (grudgingly).

I'm running a linux box(ubuntu) and every few months it freezes and I'm left with no choice(SysRq-F and other keyboard shortcuts are not working) but to reboot it losing all the data.   I'm wondering why the kernel is not killing the processe(s) that eats the memory or CPU?   What's the point keeping the system in a frozen/unresponsive state?

I don't know whether this just started or perhaps it's actually something new in my browser, but it must come down to SE code ultimately and I've never noticed it before today/yesterday.  Submit a comment via the "Add Comment" button, or submit a close-vote, or post a question, or do anything really that involves clicking one of those kinds of buttons, in Chrome 48 on Windows 7 64-bit, and you'll see your mouse cursor very briefly turn into the "not allowed" cursor right before the button is removed.      It seems the button is being disabled or whatnot before it's being hidden, which results in this "flash of malstyled content". Not a big deal but a little annoying.

I hope I'm right in thinking this is the site where you post general computer-related problems...  A problem I have when playing games (since you won't be pressing multiple keys simultaneously anytime else), is that when I press up/left and then another key, it fails to 'register' as if that last key is never pressed. This doesn't happen when I'm pressing any other two arrow keys, e.g. down/left or up/right. The weird thing is that when I'm playing with WASD instead of the arrow keys, i still have this problem! Meaning W+A+another button doesn't work.  If anyone knows what I should, I'd appreciate the help. (My reflexes are fast and I can always circumvent this problem, but it's quite annoying and shouldn't exist to begin with!)

I use a Windows 10 machine remotely at work. Both the local and remote machine are in the same ISP network (not same local network, but same ISP). I've been using it like that for almost a year now and I had never experienced absolutely any issues.  Until recently. I don't know if anything specific triggered this behavior, but I feel that it started happening after I upgraded the remote to W10 1903. I later upgraded the local one as well and I feel that it only made the problem worse (but I don't really have any data).  From time to time, the session will freeze - the image stops updating. However, what I type and mouse clicks are still being sent. No error message is shown whatsoever, the image simply freezes. To make it work again, I have to close and re-open the session. Everything that I had typed and/or clicked while it was frozen is there.  Is there any way I can debug this?

When scrolling using the mouse wheel scroll in Google Chrome, there is about 25% chance it would zoom in/out as if I have pressed the Ctrl key.  Disabling my mouse gesture extension reduces the chance to only about 2%.  I have tried various extensions and noticed some mouse gesture extensions seem to make it a bit worse than the others. I am guessing the problem is with Chrome or its extensions.  I believe it is not my hardware or software.   It happens in Chrome on both my Windows 7 desktop computers at work and at home It never happens in Firefox on either computer (I use both browsers) I tried turning on "Show location of pointer when I press the CTRL key" so I know if the Ctrl is pressed accidentally - it never was. I don't have AutoHotKey or anything similar installed on Windows.   Is this a Google Chrome bug? Is there a workaround?  UPDATE: I installed AutoHotKey to nullify Ctrl+scroll.Ctrl+scroll now does nothing, but scrolling normally still often zooms.

I keep on experiencing weird bugs. These usually start after a few hours of use. Sometimes the dash starts opening under every open window (becomes only visible on desktop, but I still can search and open anything with the enter key while it's not visible). Also, there are other minor annoyances, such as random places (especially maximized Chrome, tabs area) after navigating between programs with alt+tab can't be clicked with the mouse. Switching back and forth fixes this.  I cannot use  compiz --replace   since after that, all of the app indicator icons are gone (only teamviewer stays). Skype, network, languages, sound (also keyboard sound up/down stops working) and date are gone. Restarting unity-panel-service does not help.  Any thoughts on how to resolve these?

When this link (http://a//%%30%30) is clicked in Google Chrome, Chrome breaks and closes all tabs and instances.   But, in some cases I only need to hover over the link, and the tab crashes.  What happens when I hover over this link? I mean, what does Chrome do when a link is hovered over?

When searching for solutions to cursor jumping around, I found a lot of references to touchfreeze - a package that disables the touchpad while typing. But it is no longer part of any repository that I can find. All links to it are invalid.  How can I disable the touchpad while typing?

I am running Ubuntu 14.10.  I was listening to this YouTube video:   When I decided to make it full screen, but it didn't want to go, so I very quickly double-clicked on it twice, and then the entire screen went black. And no matter what I did, it go away. Although I could still hear the music from the video. As I couldn't do anything really about it I had to hold down my power button and force it to shutdown. And when it started up the screen was fine. It is a laptop so I don't think that the monitor just turned off or something.  I have filed a bug report here about this:   But I was just wondering if anyone here knows why this kind of thing could happen? And if it is actually a problem with my configuration settings and not actually a bug, or if it is a bug, then some sort of workaround.    Information Update:  As you will be able to see if you go to the place where I filed the , it has now been marked as Confirmed and Critical. And in the bug report comments you will see that this crash is not only caused by making YouTube videos fullscreen, but by making any page fullscreen.

When cutting/copying some cells to paste them into another sheet/page, sometimes Excel freezes/locks up and fades out. At the top toolbar it says in brackets "not responding".  Eventually, I must click 'X' to close the program. It offers to wait for the program to respond, but never does – it just does nothing until I finally close it, where it offers to recover files etc.   Is there an issue with memory here? What can I do to stop it locking up?

I'm currently running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (not in a VirtualBox) with Chrome, and I have a interesting issue. Currently there is a solution to a similar problem listed  and , but my problem is just slightly different and none of the known fixes for the other problem are working.  My problem is that the mouse does not change when placed over things such as links where the mouse should turn into a pointing hand, or over text where there should be the I beam. Also, hover states and active states on website elements aren't being triggered either. However, if I'm currently scrolling or the mouse is held down, then everything works fine, but not while only moving the mouse.  I have tried:   Purge and reinstall of Chrome Running Chrome with --touch-devices=123 Trying to recreate this error on another system (Without success) Trying Opera (since it's also WebKit, which has the same issue)   NOTE: The other more widely seen bug has symptoms that aren't affecting me. For example, my scrolling and text selection is working completely fine.
