Ubuntu Hangs While Working

I have installed ubuntu 10.04 via wubi. Frequently ubuntu hangs while working. Even installer hanged when I tried to install ubuntu recent version, linux mint 10 via wubi & mint4win. Is this problem related to hardware? My configuraion is

  • Intel dual core 3. GHz
  • Intel motherboard
  • 160GB HDD
  • 2 GB DDR2 RAM

I'm using onboard graphics Intel 82945G Express chipset. No external graphic card.


Solution 1:

The problem here is a common problem with Open Source drivers and kernel mode setting. You can disable it using:

sudo echo options i915 modeset=0 > /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf
