The issue is "fixed" for precise in that Apport has been turned off (or rather, switched to "whoopsie-only mode"). Thus, the gpu hook won't be getting triggered any more.
But that is just sweeping the problem under the carpet. It'll still need sorted out when Q-series opens... ** Summary changed: - [g41] False GPU lockup EIR: 0x00000010 PGTBL_ER: 0x00000001 + False GPU lockups captured by apport gpu hook unnecessarily ** Also affects: xdiagnose (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: xdiagnose (Ubuntu Precise) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu Precise) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: xdiagnose (Ubuntu Q-series) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu Q-series) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: + [Problem] + The GPU lockup detection in the gpu freeze apport hook is a bit too sensitive and flags bug reports in situations where the GPU did not actually lock up. This generates a lot of false-positive bug reports in Ubuntu, of which this one is an example. + + We've communicated with upstream (Intel) about this. The false gpu + lockup that triggers this really shouldn't be occurring at all, but it's + unclear why it does. However, upstream has sufficient information on + the problem, so we don't really gain much by continuing to gather these + reports. They're a bit annoying to users so quelling them may make + running the development version of the distro a little calmer. + + [Original Report] While updating packages this error occurred.
