When I move a window to the left or right side, it should automatically resize itself (I don't know how this function is called, but it is also present on windows 7). My problem is, that Ubuntu freeze (all unity) during this process, and I can't do anything, only force restart, or switch to another tty.

What can I do?

  • Need information about your hardware here. Can you go to console by CTRL-ALT-F1? Can you restart X by CTRL-ALT-Backspace? Jan 31, 2014 at 14:44
  • Hardware is Lenovo e530, and yes, I can go to console using CTRL-ALT-F1, and I am not sure, but I cannot restart x.

  • At least it says, that the system is not totally locking up. Jan 31, 2014 at 15:15
  • Antything visible with dmesg? Jan 31, 2014 at 15:15
  • Nothing special. I resolve with a strange way. I disable this function. And reenable it. And it started to work correctly.

You can disable that feature :

Install Unity Tweak Tool, a program that will help you configure Unity :

sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool

Open it and go to Windows Snapping, and switch it off.

You will still be able to snap your windows using <Ctrl> + <Super> + <Left>/<Right>/<Up>/<Down>

Note : the <Super> key is also called <Windows>
