[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1798961] Re: Random unrecoverable freezes on Ubuntu 18.10
I was getting random freezes on a Dell Latitude E7450 with Intel HD Graphics 5500, with no hints as to the cause in logs that I could find. Freezes could happen multiple times a day when in heavy use, but often more like once a week. I followed the advice in #42 a month ago and have had no freezes since (fingers crossed!). Currently on 18.04.2 LTS with 4.15.0-50-generic, but also had freezes on 16.04 LTS, starting around autumn 2018. Although had been using this laptop since 2015 without problem before that. -- 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: Triaged 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.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 694910] Re: Regression: patch to bug 539477 breaks Super+P keybindings
@Vinh sorry I didn't see your request. I have a later version than you, 3.2.2. If you have an earlier Ubuntu release, maybe try the work-around I linked to in the first comment? The good news is that this issue may have been fixed in Ubuntu "precise" 12.04. I just installed that on a new machine and I don't seem to have the issue. Although the offending code still seems to be there, so I'm not sure what's going on. I don't currently have the time to upgrade the machines that had the issue before. BTW in gnome-settings-daemon 3.4.2, which comes with Ubuntu 12.04, acme.h got renamed shortcuts-list.h -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/694910 Title: Regression: patch to bug 539477 breaks Super+P keybindings Status in Gnome Settings Daemon: Won't Fix Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon The current patch to bug 539477 breaks the super+p keybinding for all user applications when running gnone-settings-daemon.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 694910] Re: Regression: patch to bug 539477 breaks Super+P keybindings
Correction: one now needs to disable the media keys plugin instead of the xrandr plugin (using dconf) to prevent p being stolen. This new fix breaks different things to before. For my machine I've recompiled gnome-settings-daemon to get rid of the problem. If anyone else wants to do the same, the offending shortcut is in acme.h, search for VIDEO_OUT_KEY. [Finding this file reminded me that media key handling used to be in a standalone program called acme. It's a shame that gnome moved away from providing simple standalone programs that could be taken in isolation.] -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/694910 Title: Regression: patch to bug 539477 breaks Super+P keybindings Status in Gnome Settings Daemon: Won't Fix Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon The current patch to bug 539477 breaks the super+p keybinding for all user applications when running gnone-settings-daemon.

I just wasted a bunch more time because of this bug. The xrandr plugin to gnome-settings-daemon is now configured in dconf not in gconf: http://askubuntu.com/questions/68463/how-to-disable-global-super-p-shortcut Because there's no option to stop the keybinding being stolen, one still has to disable it entirely. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/694910 Title: Regression: patch to bug 539477 breaks Super+P keybindings Status in Gnome Settings Daemon: Won't Fix Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon The current patch to bug 539477 breaks the super+p keybinding for all user applications when running gnone-settings-daemon.
