** Description changed: When I run google-earth 6.2.1.6014-r0 using the Sandy Bridge GPU, X freezes while zooming in on a location. For instance this happens when I type 'Caversham WA' into the Google Earth search: X freezes about half- way through the animation. + + Workarounds are: + + 1. Use kernel 3.4-rc5 or later (eg from the mainline Ubuntu kernels at + http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/) + + 2. Patch the stock 3.2 kernel with the patch at comment #12. + + 3. Apply the workaround described at + https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47535. For more information + see comments #24, #34, and #35. + This happens in Unity, Unity2d, or gnome-shell in Ubuntu 12.04. X completely freezes so that I can't even switch to a tty console. However, I can still ssh into the machine from a remote location. Restarting lightdm has no effect but I can reboot the PC. If I run google-earth through the nvidia card on this PC (using bumblebee/optirun) there is no problem. google-earth also runs fine in a VM on this machine using the VirtualBox OSE graphics drivers, and it also runs fine on another PC with only an nvidia card. The Xorg.0.log file reports "EQ overflowing" and gives a number of backtraces (the Xorg.0.log is attached in case apport didn't find it). + ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.17.0-1ubuntu4 Uname: Linux 3.3.1-generic x86_64 .tmp.unity.support.test.0: - + ApportVersion: 2.0-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 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 Date: Sat Apr 7 11:09:12 2012 DistUpgraded: 2012-03-02 12:54:22,948 WARNING no activity on terminal for 240 seconds (Installed mysql-client-5.5) DistroCodename: precise DistroVariant: ubuntu ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes, whatever it takes to get this fixed in Ubuntu InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release amd64 (20111012) MachineType: Dell Inc.
