Lucas Partridge, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://www.medion.com/gb/service/_lightbox/treiber_details.php?did=8140 an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (4.0c). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?
If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New. Thank you for your understanding. ** Description changed: I'm reporting this bug at the request of k...@chromium.org at https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=404357#c34 . Please see https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=404357 for details. The appropriate package for this bug might be xserver-xorg- video-ati but that's a guess. Summary: Using Google Chrome 36+ on an ubuntu 14.04 system with an AMD Radeon HD 6330M graphics card has been regularly causing system hangs. These appear to be particularly likely when playing Flash-based games such as those on Facebook. Scroll up and down using the vertical scrollbar or the mousewheel and chrome will segfault. + WORKAROUND: Use fglrx. + ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: xorg 1:7.7+1ubuntu8 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-35.62-generic 3.13.11.6 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-35-generic i686 .tmp.unity.support.test.0: - + ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.3 Architecture: i386 CompizPlugins: [core,composite,opengl,compiztoolbox,decor,vpswitch,snap,mousepoll,resize,place,move,wall,grid,regex,imgpng,session,gnomecompat,animation,fade,unitymtgrabhandles,workarounds,scale,expo,ezoom,unityshell] CompositorRunning: compiz CompositorUnredirectDriverBlacklist: '(nouveau|Intel).*Mesa 8.0' CompositorUnredirectFSW: true CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Wed Sep 10 19:29:10 2014 DistUpgraded: 2014-07-06 18:19:11,036 DEBUG enabling apt cron job DistroCodename: trusty DistroVariant: ubuntu ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes, if not too technical GraphicsCard: - Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
