I doesn't seem to be getting mentioned Gnome crashes on my sandybridge anymore with mainline kernels, that is currently 4.11 and I think even with 4.10 I was not getting any issues, with mainline longterm 4.4.61 and default centos 7 kernels I am definitely getting very frequent GPU crashes that brings down Gnome.
So it is either fixed for good, or it become much rarer. The issue I am/was experiencing happens when Gnome is running, it does not happen when only GDM is loaded. System load seems to not have effect on the bug triggering, seems to happen any time, on idle, or when machine is loaded. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1041790 Title: [snb] GPU lockup IPEHR: 0x0b160001 IPEHR: 0x0b140001, workaround i915.semaphores=0 Status in xf86-video-intel: Won't Fix Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: X locks up periodically for a 2 to ten seconds at a time and this crash log gets generated. It's significantly more than several times a day but not quite continuous. If you indeed have this bug, that should stop the lockups from happening. Irrespective, please file a new bug report so your hardware may be tracked. WORKAROUND: Edit your /etc/default/grub from: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.semaphores=0" run the following and reboot: sudo update-grub The side effects of this is rendering throughput is dropped by 10% with SNA, or as much as 3x with UXA. OpenGL performance is likely to be reduced by about 30%. More CPU time is spent waiting for the GPU with rc6 disabled, so increased power consumption.
