I had this problem on UBUNTU 13.04 on a Dell laptop (Dell latitude 5430) I did a simple thing - just a lucky shot - .. updated all the xserver packages that I had as follows: sudo apt-get install xserver it will correct you and show about 3 xserver packages .... install them all (they should be installed .. but whatever) sudo apt-get install <xserver-****> then upgrade them sudo apt-get upgrade <xserver-****> and it is solved now ^_^ A.Z -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1144758 Title: xserver crash / system freeze several times a day Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: I have a Dell E6420 Laptop with Ubuntu 12.10 64 bits / Gnome Shell. From time to time (several times a day), it get stuck for a few seconds, then the system resumes or hangs definitly. If it hangs, only the mouse moves, anything else stuck, with CPU heating. I have to reboot. if it resumes, apport proposes me to report the bug, for "apport-gpu-error-intel.py" and says apport has detected a possible GPU hang, but i suspect apport itself is buggy and does not its job. WHen the system resumes, from time to time there are problem with the display (see picture attached) : characters not correctly painted, or a green banner accross the screen. i have sevral crash reports in /var/crash directory like "xserver-xorg-video-intel.xxxx...crash" that i have to delete manually as apport doesnt. (I launched the "ubuntu-bug " command to create this report).
