Bug description:
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS rendered completely unusable on my Lenovo T520. After
only 5-10 minutes of use, X freezes. To reproduce it, all I need to do
is browse the web or open random programs and files. About 75% of the
time after a reboot, I will be asked for file a bug report for the
"/usr/share/apport/apport-gpu-error-intel.py" executable.
The problem appears to have started a few days ago during one of the
latest kernel updates. I have searched around the Internet and found
numerous people reporting the same problem, which appeared around the
same time, e.g.,
http://askubuntu.com/questions/270839/usr-share-apport-apport-gpu-
error-intel-py-error
^--- this is only one of many posts about the same problem, around the
same time frame. There are others on Ubuntu Answers and there are also
some recent, similar bug reports.
I am running a Lenovo T520 with an "Intel 2nd Generation Core
Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)" video
chipset
When I look in /var/crash at the crash reports themselves, I see
