[Bug 1065490] Re: total system freeze
Scott, I'm using the 3.6 kernel, the generic one. I actually discovered that the kernel I thought didn't have the problem (-35), did. I still have no idea what caused the issue, and I'm no longer interested in finding out (though I am interested in knowing). Not knowing how to trigger a freeze, and having my system freeze randomly was really quite disruptive. And I've got better things to do with my time. I haven't tried the latest 3.2 kernels, and I won't for that reason. The only problem I've noticed with 3.6 is that sound through the internal speakers doesn't work, I have to use headphones. Out of interest, what software do you run that was running when the freeze happened?

[Bug 1065490] Re: total system freeze
I am seeing a similar issue - total system freezes anywhere from once every couple of weeks to a couple times a day. Haven't figured out any specific way to cause the freeze, unfortunately. I have similar hardware to you (Intel Ivy Bridge chipset and graphics [8086:0166]). I can't recall having any freezes during February, but maybe that was just lucky. Or, maybe the problem(s) came back with 3.2.0-39? Not sure.

Whoops, it's back. So far I haven't had any problem with -35 like I said.

[Bug 1065490] Re: total system freeze
I can confirm that this no longer appears to be an issue in '3.2.0-35-generic', which is what I'm currently running. However, it was still an issue in the previous kernel ('3.2.0-34-generic' I think). I have been running -35 for a while now, and it's not had any problem, even with the heavy workload I normally use. -34 froze almost immediately when I started using it (I ran 3.6 because it didn't freeze, but it had other issues...). I'm changing the status to "Fix Released", but accept if that's the wrong status...

[Bug 1065490] Re: total system freeze
Hi Joseph, Unfortunately I had a number of problems with the RC1 kernel (sound stopping working, apparently randomly, though my speakers, but working fine through headphones, rebooting fixed the problem -- also a problem with the the 3.6 release; and problems booting being the main issues), and when I heard about EXT4 problems I thought that I could not trust it, and so uninstalled it. If the problems booting didn't exist, I wouldn't worry about the EXT4 problems, but having to reboot two or three times to actually get a working login screen made me worry. When it was working, it didn't freeze the system, but as with the actual 3.6 release, that's no confirmation that it doesn't have the problem, merely that I didn't encounter it. I still have no idea how to reproduce the issue. I'm currently on the latest 3.2 kernel which was updated recently. I can confirm it still has the freezing problem. I'm not sure what else to do. My Internet connection is quite poor (developing country) and so downloading kernels again and again is not a viable solution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1065490 Title: total system freeze To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1065490/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'd like to perform a reverse bisect to figure out which commit upstream fixes this regression. It would be very helpful to know the last kernel that had this issue and the first kernel that did not.

I can't be sure of course (as just because something hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't happen; and I don't know why the damn thing happened in the first place so I can't reproduce the exact situation) but it seems like the generic 3.6 kernel does not have the problem.

[Bug 1065490] Re: total system freeze
I'll have a go. In the mean time, here's some more info. System froze twice yesterday, and I went and saved some logs. Here's what I wrote yesterday with some syslog extracts: 1st time: Again it froze. This time there was no wireless on. I was listening to music again, and reading a man doc in a terminal. Firefox, two different profiles, FreeCiv, and maybe something else (I think Document Viewer, looking at a PDF). I was using Deja Dup to make backup (the first, so it was taking a rather long time) to an external HD. After the system froze, I noticed that the indicator light on the HD had stopped blinking. Suggesting that there was no more activity, and thus that the backup program had also frozen or had been killed. - 2nd time: It froze again less than an hour after the last time. This time with just FreeCiv, RhythemBox and DejaDup. 21:42 is what the clock said. I guess I also have a bunch of other stuff (Apache, MySQL and PHP) running in the background. I'm uninstalling indicator-cpufreq, though I doubt it's the problem. -- OK, bizarre. I said the time said 21:42. Except that at around 22:05, I noticed the time had jumped two hours forward! It was apparently now the 13, and the time was 00:05. My clock is meant to be on network time, but the Internet has been down most of the day, and I certainly haven't connected in the last 8 hours or so.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.6 kernel[0] (Not a kernel in the daily directory) and install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs- upstream-testing' tag. Please only remove that one tag and leave the other tags. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
