Linux Mint windows freezing

Postby Aetcho on Mon May 07, 2012 8:03 am

Whenever i run the LiveCD of linux mint and open up a window, the window freezes at random every time. I can still move the mouse, but i can't close it down, or open anything else. I thought the problem might lie in the fact that i ran the 32-bit version, but when i tried the 64-bit version the same thing happened. Whenever i run mint in a virtual machine, the problem is not present. I am using unetbooting to "burn" the .iso to the usb. The linux mint version i am using is the standard one with codecs. ( not the kde or lxde desktop )

My specs are: Image

If you can help me, please do so.

Linux Mint is funded by ads and donations.

Hi
I would start by disabling compositing windows effects and eventually the wirelles card and see if anything changes.
I´ve seen similar behavior on both linux and windows related to those features, so it might be a starting point.
