Description John Willis 2011-06-29 21:52:33 UTC
Description of problem:

Activities -> Applications freezes frequently 
The mouse pointer moves but there is no response to; mouse buttons, scroll wheel, or keyboard including Ctrl alt Del, and the clock does not update. The only way to exit is to hold the power button in.

The mouse pointer does not respond on first restart but the keyboard does.
It is ok on the second restart.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Linux Kernel	2.6.38.8-32.fc15.x86_64
Gnome 3.0.1

How reproducible:

Not very reproducible. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Activities -> Applications - open an application
2. Close it
3. Immediately repeat from 1 
can freeze within 3 applications but may be many more.
It will also happen with normal use 
  
Actual results:
No response to mouse clicks or keyboard input

Expected results:


Additional info:

Fedora 15 was installed 4 days ago, and re-installed yesterday.
The hardware worked ok with Fedora 12 & 14.

I am using a USB mouse & ps2 keyboard

There are a couple of other problems that might be related

Virtual machine manager gave the error "Unable to create cgroup for Fedora_15_Test: No such file or directory"
When I tried to create a VM 

The Firewall configuration utility gives the error "A float is Required" on closing the initial message.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 17:47:23 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
