Both Ubuntu 16.04, and 17.04 have a freezing issue on my Yoga 2 11. It freezes, apparently at random, and forces me to reboot. The clock freezes up- even the seconds. No programs will run. Changing from TTY7 to TTY1/2/3/4/etc doesn't help- it's frozen. Major annoyance, especially if I'm using it to write, or gaming. I can post my logs as soon as it freezes, but I feel that this is a significant enough issue to be looked at. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and like I said, I'll post my logs to Ubuntu pastebin directly after a freeze.

update-- the output of cat /var/log/syslog (directly after a freeze/reboot) has been posted

Update: Output of cat /var/log/syslog on Ubuntu GNOME 16.04.2 LTS https://paste.ubuntu.com/25113438/ Output of sudo lshw http://paste.ubuntu.com/25113449/

You have three existing problems... maybe more...

  1. your file system has corruption (evidenced by the fsck messages in syslog)
  2. onboard is failing (evidenced by the onboard messages in syslog)

Update:

  1. You have Bay Trail processors, and there's a fix for the freezes. See System freezes completely with Intel Bay Trail

Lets first check your file system for errors.

To check the file system on your Ubuntu partition...

  • boot to the GRUB menu
  • choose Advanced Options
  • choose Recovery mode
  • choose Root access
  • at the # prompt, type sudo fsck -f /
  • repeat the fsck command if there were errors
  • type reboot

Then I would completely purge (not just uninstall) all 3 components of onboard, and then reinstall it. Either use Synaptic ("complete removal") to do this, or use sudo apt-get purge or sudo dpkg -P commands in the terminal.
