Set the variable auto-save-timeout to the value you want, in seconds.

However, the default value is 30 sec, which is less than your 5
minutes.  So the default should be good for you.  You may wish to make
the value of auto-save-interval smaller -- it is the number of
keystrokes after which Emacs will auto-save.  The default is 300.

Read about auto saving in the Emacs manual.

Emacs saves your work from time to time and, if Emacs crashed, it will
offer to recover your work next time you visit the file you were working
on.

The feature is explained here:

It is all good but...

While using Ubuntu and X is bad :) it is not
*that bad* to be an excuse for your computer
to crash!

Instead of having Emacs be a safety net, you
should examine why your computer crashes.

When your computer doesn't crash anymore,
I think you'll find that the Emacs default
safety nets are sufficient!

Your point is excellent! A hours ago i did downgrade emacs version to 23 from the latest snapshot. (My ubuntu version is 12.04.5 LTS. Chromebook is Alex released 2011.) Then ubuntu' X(unity) works well without freezing.

For a while i'll keep emacs 23.x for translation (debian web pages) work. Thank you Emanuel^^

Sincerely,

Ps. Now time i am moving by subway so wrote android smartphone.
