How to reproduce? I am now running 18.04 LTS, problem is there since 16.04 LTS.
I have noticed if I disable my displays from going into power-safe mode and still let ubuntu go into the lock screen I could keep the machine running. I also disable the "No signal power off" feature on my displays. This is not something you want on the long run, but since I combine my desktop with a server running several virtual machines, I need to machine to stay on. When I get to my desktop, after not using it for a while, and I press CTRL - SHIFT, Ubuntu will wakeup and show the lock screen, I can then login - I never have a crash again. But when I move the mouse first I sometimes still get the crash. I have tested this for a couple of weeks, making sure my mouse never moves when I touch the keyboard. Even bumping the table could cause the mouse to send some signals and crash the desktop. Important: I sometimes move the mouse first and does not crash, but never when I press CTRL - SHIFT first. I have a suspicion that there is an issue when Ubuntu wake up and peripherals are doing stuff. -- 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/1798961 Title: Random unrecoverable freezes on Ubuntu 18.10 Status in Linux: New Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux source package in Bionic: Triaged Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel source package in Bionic: Invalid Status in linux source package in Cosmic: Triaged Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel source package in Cosmic: Invalid Status in linux source package in Disco: Triaged Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel source package in Disco: Invalid Bug description: First thing I notice is that the mouse cursor freezes as I'm using it, then I hit the CAPS LOCK key and the LED indicator doesn't respond. Then I try the "REISUB" command, but it doesn't do anything either. Only a hard reset works, pressing down the power button for a few seconds. How to reproduce? I couldn't figure out a consistent method. It is still random to me. Version: Ubuntu 4.18.0-10.11-generic 4.18.12 System information attached. Also happens under Arch Linux and Fedora. I've talked to another user on IRC who seems to be having the same freezes.
