[ubuntu-za] Problems since last round of "major" updates

[Robin Bownes]

Hi All,

I'm running 3 computers, each with a different version of Ubuntu - 
namely 12.04, 12.10 & 13.04. While in the past, I've experienced a 
problem here and there on a specific version after an update, this is 
the first time that I'm experiencing the same problems across the board 
on all 3 machines. This would seem to indicate that there's something 
fundamentally wrong somewhere.

The problems are:

 1. Nautilus hangs in the middle of copying/moving files to/from either
    USB drives or over my LAN. Copying just stops, and the only way to
    get rid of the copy dialogue is to restart the PC. No error message,
    nothing - just stops.
 2. Libre Office (running different versions on all these machines)
    hanging at increasingly shortening intervals, until it becomes
    unusable. The only way to get Libre Office to load again after a
    hangup, is to restart the machine. Sometimes even that doesn't work.

Is anybody else experiencing any of this? As I say, if it was just one 
machine, I'd blame the machine, but its all 3, and all 3 Ubuntu 
versions, and all began directly after the last major update a few days ago.

Any assistance welcome.

Thanks.
