Title:
Linux kernel freeze (it seems in current/3.19.0-17) on Dell Inspiron
1525
Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
First READ about how I deceived ubuntu-bug!
I'm not sure it matters or what info ubuntu-bug collects, but I didn't
do "ubuntu-bug linux" since it gave an error:
"Problem in linux-image-3.19.0-13-generic
The problem cannot be reported:
This is not an official Ubuntu package. Please remove any third party
package and try again."
I did ubuntu-bug Xorg just to get some collection of info, NOT saying
xorg is the fault.
Note that this bug report is NOT about that kernel but the most
current (and maybe one or two others).
Yesterday I wasn't having this problem with kernels (at least not the
newest one I had not installed.. I may have had different problems, do
not believe hardware broken though).

I believe I've been running 3.19.0-15-generic for the last few days. I
just run the most recent one (usually - but not now because of the
problems below).
Today (this evening) I upgraded some stuff including the kernel.
3.19.0-17 does not boot up. I've tried several times and get a blank
screen. I may have gotten something else, a splash-screen (not as far
as login-screen), on the first try. DO not count on that as I may
misremember.
Then booting into 3.19.0-15-generic I could log in, so it seems the
kernel above is the problem. Note I also upgraded more, say
networking. AND now while I can log in, that kernel quickly froze
(twice just after starting Chrome w/lots of tabs) - in a way I've
never seen - the CAPS LOCK and the light to the RIGHT (NOT NUM LOCK to
the left) where blinking in sync. I may have forgotten (or not?) to
try a virtual terminal as this seemed a sure indication that something
was wrong.
[I also booted into just-installed 3.19.0-15-lowlatency and got the
blinking lights.]
Then I booted into 3.19.0-13 and am now for a much longer time in
Chrome, so far no freeze..
[I was doing apt-get autoclean today, deleting kernels, so maybe I'm
wrong about the exact version of the kernel I was running without
problems, but at least all the info on kernels that do not work are
right.]
