If I understand this bug report and its dupes, the gpu appears to hang but the kernel is able to reset it, so it triggers the gpu hang capture tool, but doesn't actually leave the system in a hung state.
When 10.10 was released, the automatic hang capture tool was turned off, which explains why this stopped happening after that. For natty, we've updated to a newer kernel, which I presume includes a fix for whatever was triggering the capture tool to be called. Has anyone seen this bug on arrandale with natty? ** Summary changed: - [arrandale] GPU lockup 69a04a9b (IPEHR: 0x01800002) + [arrandale] GPU lockup (IPEHR: 0x01800002) ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/645057 Title: [arrandale] GPU lockup (IPEHR: 0x01800002) _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
