Seems similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1574951 (found as first case with search for Acer alone, without mentioning distro, or the words crashes, frequently, or the machine model.
I wasnt sure which package needed to be noted so picked the ubuntu-release package. maybe should have indicated unity or compiz or something like that. Also did searches using Acer + freeeze, for LTS 16.04 release - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1592442 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1578944 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1528880 similar for other releases - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1511844 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1509723 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1509723 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/733392 and search for acer + crash but the only one found which seemed relevant was the first one listed above - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1592442 Based on this suggestion, I have added a line to the grub entry for my dual boot start menu - http://askubuntu.com/questions/776069/ubuntu-16-04-freezes-during-use (thanks to the reporter of bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1578944 for the reference) Will keep an eye on the system and advise if the above workaround avoids the problem. If it does, it may suggest how the underlying cause can be found and fixed so the need for the workaround can be obviated. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1594046 Title: lts 16.04 crashes frequently on acer TC-605 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1594046/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
