** Description changed:
[Impact]
Apport is disabled in the release itself, so this hook should not be getting
triggered at all. However, for some users it does. This wouldn't be a big
deal, except it also gets triggered in cases where no GPU lockup was
experienced (aka False GPU lockups - bug #983640), which gives poor user
experience.
[Development Fix]
Since we want any and all GPU lockup reports in the development release, we
leave things as they are, and focus on getting a targeted fix to just #983640.
[Stable Fix]
Since we don't intend for the GPU lockup hook to be run at all, whether or
not Apport is enabled, in the stable release we forcefully disable the udev
hook entirely.
If someone does specifically want this enabled, they'd need to also
manually enable apport and so forth, in addition to re-enabling this
udev rule. But I think it'd probably be easier for these people to just
manually collect the gpu dump and dmesg directly, so don't expect anyone
to need the script.
+ A duplicate udev rule calling the gpu lockup apport hook has been
+ installed by xserver-xorg-video-intel. Since the hook has been moved to
+ xdiagnose, this extra rule is redundant and should be dropped from the
+ package. Indeed, I believe this second hook is the cause of the false
+ gpu lockup reports (the hook in xdiagnose was already fixed to not file
+ these.)
+
[Test Case]
The issues have been strange corner case problems that seem to be highly
hardware-specific, and not synthetically reproducible.
- 1. On affected hardware, boot into a regular user session normally
+
+ 1. To verify the apport hook has been properly changed, do:
+
+ grep apport-gpu-error /lib/udev/rules.d/*
+
+ Expected Behavior: A single, commented-out line is printed
+ Broken Behavior: Multiple lines printed, or the line is not commented out.
+
+ 2. On affected hardware, boot into a regular user session normally
Expected Behavior: No apport popups about GPU lockups
Broken Behavior: Apport pops up dialog about a GPU lockup bug, when nothing
of the sort had actually happened.
+
[Regression Potential]
None really, as this is just disabling functionality we don't need enabled in
the release.
The class of regressions to watch for with this would be udev-related
problems, or odd apport behaviors. But I don't think anything untoward
is remotely likely to happen.
[Original Report]
I installed ubuntu 12.04 recently on a DELL inspiron 1440 notebook. I think
the chipset is GM45 something. I am quite fresh on linux operation system. I do
not know how could I solve this problem. It seems not only me have this problem.
I install ubuntu 12.04 64bit and windows 7 64bit on my notebook. Every
time I enter the ubuntu, I will notify me this problem for 4-5 times.
It say "sorry, Ubuntu 12.04 has experienced an internal error". the
detail are as follows:
