I can confirm this on a fresh install of Lubuntu 16.04 on a relatively new laptop. This bug effectively renders the laptop useless.
Libreoffice crashes X regularly (!) and hence is not usable. When I look at /var/log/syslog the culprit is always something like: May 9 20:55:54 kermit kernel: [ 46.807723] [drm] GPU HANG: ecode 7:0:0x85fffdfc, in Xorg [812], reason: Ring hung, action: reset May 9 20:55:54 kermit kernel: [ 46.809807] drm/i915: Resetting chip after gpu hang This seems to be a well known problem with the i915 driver. I've tried some of the fixes that people suggest (adding various i915 options to grub like i915.enable_rc6=0 i915.semaphores=0 i915.modeset=1 i915.use_mmio_flip=1 i915.enable_ppgtt=1). But so fare nothing works. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575301 Title: GPU Hang [i915 / drm] crashes whole session; triggered by LibreOffice dialog boxes (regression) Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This behavior began sometime in April 2016 (while using Ubuntu 16.04 Beta 2, Unity) and has continued to the present. Dialog boxes in LibreOffice (including the automated recovery dialog on LO start) started displaying garbled text and garbled or missing button icons. Interacting with them -- or often even their appearance at all -- causes a rapid crash of the whole graphical session and a free trip back to the login screen. Syslog shows a GPU hang (stuck on render ring). This is an Intel Core i7-4510U with Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller (HP Envy x360 convertible laptop). Before the upgrade from 15.10 to 16.04, I had the xorg-edgers repository enabled and then had used the installation tool from 01.org to install the Intel graphics stack. As part of troubleshooting this, I have removed/purged the 01.org sources/packages/modules as best I could (16.04 not supported) and also disabled the edgers repository. This has not affected the bug.
