Public bug reported: Ever since accepting an update package in mid March my PC has had almost continuous screen freeze issues several times a day, either transitory or complete requiring a hard re boot. I also get a continuous stream of apport system error messages which I have been sending off since mid March. The freeze has sometimes been a diagonal break up of the screen picture but mostly just a complete freeze of picture.
Looking at Google searches this seems to be a persistent problem for many users. I am using Ubuntu12.10 64 bit version on a Dell Inspiron 660s. The very long apport report mentions sandybridge-gt1GPU lockup IPEHR:0x25102000 IPEHR: 0x0b14001 and also mentions xserver-xorg-video-intel2:2.20-.9-ubuntu2. I have tried reinstalling this latter file with no improvment resulting. The freeze seems to be triggered by using the wheel on the wheel mouse, or by sudden movements of the mouse. Can this bug please be fixed? How about re-instating things to the way they were before the mid March update package? Xserver-xorg version 1:7.7+1ubuntu4 ** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1163976 Title: Sandybridge-gt1 lockup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1163976/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
